while some brands will make their first all-electric cars have yet to present a celebration of the Nissan Leaf by 2020, will be celebrating the tenth anniversary this year. The season continued to be a copy of the first gen compared to the new Leaf in e+, in order to see what would be in the region of the electrical drive are switched off. The bottom line on that? A gap of more than 300 km away.
In the run-up to the launch of the first Leaf had Nissan’s press and the general public at the time to the first time to meet with a number of prototypes. They were in fact nothing more than electrified versions of existing models, such as the Cube, and the grand livinia. Those cars were, at that time, although it is unknown, but it wouldn’t have a dramatic decreases of the Nissans that have already been delivered.
Then, in 2010, the Leaf was presented, it was found that a car with its own chassis. Where is alliance partner Renault for its first all-electric vehicle, the Rotor COIL, to an existing model as a starting point, it had been taken, chose Nissan to be the first electric model to be clearly recognizable as a model. The following year, the Leaf has been voted Car of the Year.
time it took the Leaf to the full. Not surprisingly, therefore, it is still the best-selling electric car of all time, though, it is very likely that the Tesla Model 3 and the Leaf is still in the quarter will have to catch up.
The Tesla Model 3 will be produced soon to catch up with as the best-selling electric vehicle ever made. Picture of the Season)
Range, in ten years, more than tripled
to Start with, for a start, it is the most normal thing in the world. Only two and a half years ago, it was newsworthy that in the Leaf, thus to live, had to wake up. The first models had a battery pack of 24 kWh in onboard. That would be in accordance with the specifications of the manufacturer have to have a driving range of up to 175 km, but in practice, it will often be around 100 miles.
On a mid-term update on the 2015 came out, in addition to the 24-kWh battery pack, at extra cost, a 30-kWh variant will be available. That is, we see it in the brown car used in this test. With a little bit of good will come to you, there are 150 km away.
How different it is from the Leaf of a gen 2. At an average of testverbruik 23.9 kWh / 100 km in 2011, is a new Leaf for an average of 17.3 kilowatt-hours per 100 miles are logged. In addition, the battery capacity is significantly increased. The Leaf of e+, which was taken into consideration for the relationship with the first Leaf has a battery capacity of 62 wh, which, without the trouble of 350 miles can be used.
you can Also use the page load speed is a lot higher than it was before. Using the CHAdeMO connector, you can fast charge at the first generation, with a maximum of 44 kW; for the second generation, up to a maximum of 50 kW for the 40 kWh version), or 100-kW (62 kWh).
The Leaf was right on a lot of interest, as well as here in Germany. Picture of the Season)
the Similarities are striking,
As a designer, you have to develop an electric car a lot more options for the various components in position than a vehicle with a conventional powertrain. However, you need to take into account crumple zones and plenty of room for five people plus luggage. So it was with the intention of, the Leaf is equal to that of a regular, compact, mid range saloon car.
And there’s nothing wrong with it, as shown by the structure of the Leaf in the second generation, this model may be a more contemporary style, it’s still a five-door hatchback, and is virtually the same size as its predecessor.
it is Remarkable, that the motion of a Leaf, not a lot has changed. He asks, still out of it once you’re touring, but it’s also not at all for the idea. At high speed, the electric Nissan, though, something more stable.
The steering is still light, and somewhat aloof, whereas the tuning of the springs and the suspension is unchanged, it is set up for comfortable transportation from point A to point B. Because of that, it is still in the primary, and generatiekloofoverschrijdende the purpose of the Nissan Leaf.
