[Oeva-list] FW: Nissan Rolls Out Electric Car this Weekend

[patrick0101 at gmail.com]

>From the Nissan LEAF Q&A on twitter:

   - It will be on the road in some markets (CA, OR, WA, AZ, TN, NC) in
   2010, with more states to follow.
   - Nissan's LEAF EV has over 90 kWh of lithium-ion battery power.
   - Range of more than 100 miles and comfortably seats 5 adults with a
   wheelbase of over 106".
   - The LEAF has an 80 kW electric motor with 280 Nm (equal to 107 HP and
   206 lb-ft of Torque)
   - No exact 0-60 at this point, but it accelerates like a V6.
   - Targeting a top speed of 85mph.
   - The plan is to price it in the range of a typical family sedan.
   - Buy/lease of battery is not finalized.
   - Even in its dirtiest form, the grid is 60% cleaner than gas. And it
   will get cleaner over time, unlike gas.

Regards,
Pat
