When it comes out of production, the Leaf will have GPS system for driver support, information and entertainment. It will also provide data about the locations where the driver can recharge.

    1. The range of terrific EVs are sufficient to meet the daily driving needs of 95% of drivers ((The vast majority of people (95%) drive less than 160/km a day)).

    2. What's more, as for long distance needs, all but Americans have existing automobiles, in this regard, U.S. is one of the best places for EVs until the infrastructure comes into wide use.

    3. The well-equipped Nissan LEAF with plenty of acceleration, an exclusive advanced IT, GPS system, a distinctive aerodynamic design will be priced from $25,000 to $33,000. Importantly, this price comes before any government tax credits.

    4. Manufacturing volume, innovative battery technology will drive down cost.

    5. Little maintenance fee.

    6. MILES PER GALLON : MORE THAN 10 VS 1 compared with general combustion engine cars.
    Even excellent hybrid cars can not be comparable to EVs in light of fuel economy.

    7. EVs will likely be less expensive for people to drive with low-cost nighttime charging.
    Sometimes EVs can be charged at workplaces or stores etc.

    8. Batteries will become more efficient on the whole and their price will drop, whereas the oil will simply go up and up as it becomes more scarce. As simple as that.
