You got a mail.
@w140fan You dont have to worry about it, because a bunch of niggars will still it from you
@w140fan when it releases you drive through compton on a rainy or snowy day and see wat happens. Ok
This will defiantly be my first car no matter what. This is the future of travel.
I am moving to Vegas soon, and I am seriously considering of this car if it is available in that area.
what happen’s if you run out of charge in Compton
@bluebearbank247 I’ve seen generators the size of a big lunch box. I wonder if they would have the output to charge a Leaf?… Might be worth looking into….
@irocx29 No. The batteries, at the end of their useful EV life, will be bought back by Nissan because they have value as stationary industrial storage batteries (still hold 50%). The batteries belong to the person who owns the car until such time as the batteries require replacing, or the car is scrapped. Then Nissan will buy them back from the person who owns the car.
It may be different in other markets, but in North America the batteries are part of the car.
@marshgre I am saying you Can Only Buy The Car . Nissan Will not let you Keep the Batteries For Life ! Get it now ?
@irocx29 The batteries are part of the car. The only way to lease the batteries is to lease the whole car.
@Cssrecords A complete charge form 0% would cost about $3.00 (12 cents per kwh) In practical use you wouldn’t run the car completely dead so let say it will cost about $2.00 a day to charge this car at home.
Gas at my local station costs about $1.30 a litre. I can’t drive 160 kilometres (the full range of a Leaf if run to 0%) on 1 litre of gasoline so I would need more like 12 litres of gas thats about $15.00 of gas to drive the same distance as $3.00 of electricity.
@RStarga No, I agree with him. Especially if you need to charge at your house, and depending on it’s use, you may need to alot. If you do, your electric bill will be crazy. In ADDITION to everything you already run. you could get $1,000 dollar electric bill EASY.
What they should do is put Photovoltaic cells on the car for day time.
Cool Car but kbb said that the battery’s are for { Lease } only . So if Nissan Stop making them you got a Leaf that need’s some Battery’s ! cost right at $10,000. ty see ya.
You will see charging stations everywhere soon, because private industry will want you to stop at their restaurant, gas station, department store, etc… Installing a charging station will cost no more than putting up a parking lot streetlight.
There will be plenty of incentive to go to places where charging is available so you can “top off” your battery while you go for coffee or get groceries.
people who worry being stranded should carry a 120V portable gas generator. nowadays those are cheap and light as a fullsize dog.
awesome street legal golf cart is what this is.
@RStarga Dude, have you done the calculations? There are numerous reports that say electric vehicles WILL save money over gas.
@RStarga what r u talking about?
Go to school in a significant major for 5-8 years after HS…THEN we’ll speak of something like a GT-R…
But for now…REALITY CHECK, pulll-ezzzze!
WELL…get ready for that electric bill to hit 3 significant figures…
And YOU thought Zero-Emission meant those electrons come from Leprichans behind that wall socket…you thought WRONG Liberal Art Majors!
Lower GAS bill…HIGHER ELECTRIC BILL…and a $30,000 econo-box. Now THAT’S living for the SUCKER!!
Quit using Heath Ledger’s name to get people to watch your un-affordable car video. You are disgusting.
Wow, that solar panel is the biggest slap in the face of any entrepreneur trying to optimize energy.
It’s obvious to me that the company doesn’t want anyone actually sparing energy, but moreso buying it from them.

and for long rides, all station services on hi-way with fast charge, while you stop to cofee…
scary to buy into a first gen all electric vehicle when society at large isn’t really ready for it. i’m guessing this isn’t a road trip type of car. personally, i couldn’t deal with the stress of being stranded for lack of finding a plug somewhere.
