    Nissan Leaf presentation video

    Here's an introductory video on the LEAF with a couple of tidbits of information that was news to me. The video appears to have been made by Nissan in Japan. There is sound but no voice over.

    LEAF vs Ford Focus EV on CNN Money

    CNN have posted a 1:30 video "Battle of the electric cars" where they drove and commented on the LEAF vs the Ford Focus electric. At 0:36 they show the energy info screen on the LEAF and it reads -- Average 4.9 miles/Kwh. That seem very reasonable. Nothing much new in this video but CNN is...

    Regenerative braking safety question

    Will your break lights (or some other warning light) come on when you lift your foot off the accelerator, even if you're not depressing the break? Seems like there should be some sort of warning to the cars behind you that you are slowing. This seems to be especially true in eco mode which...

    Paul Hossen provides a walkthrough of the LEAF

    In this video, Paul Hossen the LEAF product planner, provides an introductory walk through of the LEAF. Even though it's very introductory, I picked up a couple of tidbits I didn't know.

    I thought it might be fun to start a thread where you could post photos of the LEAF which have been tweaked with image tools such as Photoshop. Either make you own or find them on the net and post them here. Here's the LEAF Limo I created for another thread. Here's a hack of Lance...

    Here's a Bloomberg interview with Carlos Ghosn at the Paris auto show. It's a basic backgrounder for mainstream viewers. However, I did find the discussion on the EVs economies of scale interesting.

    Virtual Tour of a Coal Fueled Electric Power Plant

    While I'm not a proponent of coal fired electric generation, I did find this video an interesting overview of the process. After you've watched the video, you should go to the Union of Concerned Scientists website to get some additional information. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_CcrgKLyzc

    "Negawatts" - Preparing for Your New Electric Car

    One of the EV FUD talking points circulating presently is that the'll cause your electric bill to shoot through the roof. I first heard that last summer, about the time we decided to purchase a LEAF. As a result, I set a goal to reduce our electrical usage by 1.2 mega watt hours over a 12 month...

    Save General Motors ?

    Maybe Nissan should give us the option, after we take delivery of the LEAF, if we want the $99 credited back to our cards or if instead would we like to donate the $99 to one of the following government supported charities: [] Save the whales [] Save the polar bears [] Save General Motors I...
