Imagine, the freedom of driving without worrying about gas.  As car manufacturers put their best foot forward in making that world a reality, their focus is turned towards the power of electricity.  This can already be seen in the many hybrid models that use an electric battery to conserve fuel. Manufacturers are now enhancing this technology, and even creating new technology to make driving as fuel independent as possible. What’s more exciting is these new vehicles will be available as early as next year.  Will they change the automotive world as we know it? One thing’s for sure, the future of driving is going to be electrifying. Nissan is leading the way with the exciting Leaf.

The Nissan Leaf is the first zero-emissions electric car. Don’t confuse it with a Hybrid or any other type of gas-powered, eco-friendly vehicle. The Leaf is electric and burns ZERO gas, produces ZERO emissions and will be 100% recyclable.  But it’s no golf cart. The Leaf will perform like a V-6, there’s room for five and it comes with all the quality and reliability of a Nissan.

The all electric Nissan Leaf can travel an astonishing 100 miles per charge. What does that mean?

-12 rides to work

-7 Grocery Trips

-3 Coffee Runs

-1 Charge!

The Leaf is powered by a fully rechargeable lithium ion battery. Developed by Nissan, its breakthrough laminated design delivers twice the power and range of more conventional lithium ion batteries in a package that is half the size.

It’s nearly impossible to find a more eco-friendly vehicle than this.  The Leaf is expected to arrive in 2010. The future of driving will be here sooner than you think. For more information on the Nissan Leaf click here.
