The Nissan Leaf
As its name suggests, the Nissan Leaf is a green car. How is it green? Well, the Nissan LEAF’s power train has no tailpipe so there’s no way it would be emitting CO2 or other greenhouse gases. And while some of you might not opt for electric cars because it would be hassle charging them, the Nissan LEAF can regain 80% of its power on a 30 minute quick charge. Of course, using a regular 200 volt outlet in your home would take around 8 hours before the car regains its full power.
The Nissan LEAF’s lithium-ion battery and regenerative breaking system enables this car to go 160km on one full charge. Not bad for an eco-car. If you’re thinking of going green with the Nissan LEAF, you have to wait until 2010 before this becomes available.
