Does anyone have a complete list of all Nissan dealers in North America who are selling the LEAF? It would be interesting to know which ones are selling the LEAF and which ones are not.

The first country in Europe to get the Nissan LEAF in 2011 is Portugal, on the far south-western tip of Europe. I've flown out to Lisbon in Portugal for a couple of days to drive the Nissan LEAF over here. If anyone has any questions they would like me to get answers to whilst I'm out here...

Here in the UK, there are three proving grounds that are used to test cars before they go on general sale. The grounds are used to put the cars through a series of tests, from high speed, long distance driving, to city driving, mountain driving, hill climbs and pretty much anything else. There...

Nissan UK are now taking orders for the Nissan LEAF here in the UK. They're asking for a £243 deposit (that's around $400). I've just ordered mine in red :) I should be taking delivery sometime around March.

We're online now as of 8:44am. And I'm talking about my new electric vehicle adventure... http://www.TransportEvolved.com/live

I got my first test drive in the Nissan LEAF here in the UK today. I'll write up a proper 'first impressions' review later when I've had a chance, but I thought I'd share my first impressions now. It's a very good car and in some ways it is better than I would have expected: after driving EV12...

Thank you for this review. Much appreciated! The book gets updated twice a year in order to keep it as up-to-date as possible. As Rat says, however, keeping up-to-the-nanosecond is pretty tough in a market as volatile as this one is! I've taken Rat's constructive comments on board and they...

It's all future stuff, but I thought some people here might be interested in an interview I had with a major company working on wireless charging systems here in the UK. It's not likely to be incorporated into this current generation of electric cars, but it does provide a fascinating glimpse of...

Here in the UK, I've been able to get hold of a real-time datafeed from the national grid to show the utilisation of power across the country and the source of the power. This has allowed me to put together a web page that shows people whether or not it is now a good time to plug your electric...

Nissan is working on several other EV projects. One that they've been keeping very quiet about is a small city car, similar in size to the Fiat 500. It's main markets will be Japan and Europe, although no doubt some will sneak their way across the Pacific... The car will be a similar size and...

In nature, leaves generate energy for the tree by photosynthesizing. So presumably, the Nissan LEAF should photosynthesize too? This was the silly comment I made to the head of the LEAF project at Nissan's European R&D team last month. It turned into quite an interesting discussion about the...

I carried out some research at the beginning of the year into the environmental impact of electric cars compared to gasoline cars. It is part of a bigger survey that I'm doing, measuring comparable electric and gasoline cars to monitor their real world environmental impact over a long period of...

I recently had a chance to drive a Nissan EV-12 electric car in the UK. EV-12 is one of the development cars that Nissan have been using to fine tune the drivetrain in the Nissan LEAF. It's a good car and bodes well for the LEAF. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LQ4lNOeqCk Excuse...

My name is Mike Boxwell. I'm based in the UK and I've been using electric cars on a daily basis for the past four years. Prior to that I worked in the electric vehicle industry for three years. My current electric cars are a REVA G-Wiz (I also run the REVA Electric Car Club) and a Mitsubishi...
