Nissan Leaf - Electric only


Nissan Leaf  Electric Car

The Leaf is 100% electric zero emissions car. The perennial problem with electric cars has always been their range, combined with a long wait for re-charging. Nissan is putting rapid charging stations at all their dealers to help overcome this problem. The rapid chargers will take just 30 minutes to bring the batteries back to 80% of their maximum charge. The home charger (16 amps) will take 8 hours, and the street charger (10amps) 12 hours.  However the Leaf costs £30,000 in the UK, with a £5,000 government incentive bringing the price you pay to £25,000. Nissan claim a range of 109 miles and a top speed of 90mph.
