2010 Nissan Leaf Electric Car: Hands-on

Nissan has finally taken the wraps of the Leaf, the first all-electric car. The Nissan Leaf will go on sale in Japan, North America and Europe late in 2010; it will seat five adults and has a range of more than 100 miles on a full charge, with a top speed of 190 mph. We have found two great hands-on videos of the 2020 Nissan Leaf, which we have below. Here we have taken some of the keys points from those videos.

A bank of Lithium Iron batteries provide power to the leaf, which have been developed by Nissan and computer maker NEC. Nissan has done a lot of work with the safety of these batteries, so will not catch on fire if the car is involved in an accident.

A full charge of the battery from a standard home power socket will take around 8 hours in Europe, but around 16 hours in Japan and the U.S. as they use a lower voltage. There are plans to launch a number of quick charge station, these will replenish the batteries in around 30 minutes.

    Do you mean top speed of 190 mph? 90 mph seems more likely.
