The green movement is not slowing down, this movement has finally snowballed into a global awareness and the sooner automakers embrace this fact and put cars out in their line greater than even hybrid half gas half electric, then we will really be making great steps. The Nissan Leaf is the newest car by the automaker Nissan. It is an all electric vehicle similar to the Chevrolet Volt. It is 100% electric and has no emissions. Nissan claims that the Leaf will do up to 90 MPH and accelerates off the line similar to a V6 gasoline engine. Sounds promising to me. It drives around 100 Miles per drive under everyday driving conditions. It is rumored to cost around what other typical family sedans cost. The leaf can charge in 4-8 hours on a 220v Home charging unit and there will be "quick charge" stations that I'm assuming you can park your car at that can charge 80% in 26 minutes.
The car itself looks good, it doesn't seem bulky or any different from any other car on the road. I Enjoy the hatchback design of it for space purposes and all around. If this car is competitively priced I can't see dealers being able to keep this car on their lots with the current gas crisis state.
