Get ready to hold your breath as the all new Nissan Leaf has arrived and with a mind blowing design of a leaf, this car is designed to steal the show. This five passenger hatchback showcases a 23 KW-hour lithium-manganese battery that is promised to drive 100 miles and recharges in 8 hours. Nissan plans to bring out 50,000 Leafs by the end of 2011. With a demand of more than 85,000 people across the world, this car contemplates the issue of meeting demands of people with such a low priced car.
2011 Nissan-Leaf The Nissan Electric Cars
Electric Cars on the Horizon for 2011
There are two exciting electric cars on the horizon for 2011. One is the Nissan Leaf, which is all-electric and has a range of 100 miles per day. The second is the Chevy Volt, which has an onboard gasoline engine which acts as a generator to provide electricity if the batteries are depleted. This should help to allay range anxiety to a large extent. Moreover, its range will be nearly triple that of the Nissan Leaf. However, the Volt will cost about $7000 more than the $33,000 Nissan Leaf. Both qualify for $7500 federal tax credit.
