Just two years needed engineers that Nissan Lifs would have passed the path from the concept to the acting serial model, and hitting the conveyor in 2010, after a year Nissan Leaf. Ze0 / Aze0 won the title "Car of the Year" in Japan, USA and Europe.

Design

Outwardly, Nissan Lifa is no different from the auto-class representatives, except that the electrocar does not have exhaust pipesBut not to notice Nissan Leaf in the urban stream will be difficult. And although the appearance may seem like someone not entirely outreach, nevertheless the car has a compact size and quite spacious.

on the left of the CHADEMO port for DC (fast charging "Chademo"), on the right SAE J1772 port for AC (from the outlet)

It is possible to charge from the standard AC network, that is, from the household outlet (16 amp / 220 volts) - but longer. Complete charge from the outlet takes from 5 to 8 hours.

With a power outlet for 40 amperes, the battery charge time is 80% will take 1.5 hours, the battery will be charged for 2.5-3 hours.

With quick charging battery it is possible to charge 80% in 20 minutes, but for this requires a special charging station.

Safety

The electric vehicle is quite uninhabable, since it does not have flammable liquids, and is equipped with eight airbags.

There is no risk to be shocking, as the battery and electric motor are sealed.

It is also worth noting that Nissan Leaf is absolutely calmly overcomes the brother depth to 60 cm.

Crush test

At the crash test, which was conducted by the European Institute of Examination of New Car, Nissan Lifa received the highest ratings.

Tests took place in three stages:

• passenger safety;
• safety of high-voltage network;
• protection of the battery;

Nissan Leaf has passed full-scale strength tests, including frontal collisions, side shocks and a punch in a pillar.

In the case of an accident with which airbags worked, the supply of energy in the car will be discontinued

According to the results of the crash test, it was determined that the combination of durable bodies and a strong battery allow you to maintain the integrity of the machine and the power grid.

Five-door hatchback bodice showed high results:

• 89% in adult passenger safety tests;
• 83% for children's safety;
• 84% for the operation of onboard security systems;

In addition, the electrocar Nissan was relatively safe and pedestrians (65%) due to the small number of so-called "hard points" in the front of the car.

Minor Change.

In 2015, Nissan Leaf was slightly updated. Externally, the car has practically not changed. Inside and the technically updated bodice was slightly modernized in order to reduce the consumption of electricity.

In 2017, a new bodice of 2018 was presented. model year, more modern, technological and efficient.

Pros and cons

The disadvantages will be found in an absolutely any vehicle, and they are individually for each of them, so to begin withdrawing the advantages of the electrocarbon in front of the car with a gasoline / diesel engine.

Of the advantages of Nissan Lifa, it is worth noting perhaps the most important - environmental friendliness, because the purpose of creating such a car and is to preserve the environment.

The car does not pollute the air and has in comparison with the machine-operating machine - less liquids and oils that must be changed periodically. In addition to everything, from recycled materials in Nissan LEAF carpets, protection, silence are made.

One of the considerable service costs is planned, and since the electric vehicle does not have an internal combustion engine and transmission, then it is enough to replace the oil in the gearbox 1 time per 24,000 km of run.

Small, but nevertheless a pleasant moment in the duration of the brake pad service. This is due to the fact that the main braking is due to the recovery of energy, and the pads perform a secondary function.

Outcome

Summing up, the first generation Nissan Leaf is characterized as an absolutely environmentally friendly urban electric car whose rechargeable battery can be charged at home.

The electric motor that is installed instead of a regular motor - quiet and with high-speed acceleration gives completely different feelings during the trip.

To understand what an electric car is enough to make one trip, at least in order to find out which there may be flaws in it as in a car for daily use.

For example, the same bodice is perfect as a second car, or as a vehicle for movement in the city and suburbs.

In 1947 with the launch of TAMA. This innovative four-seater electric car was available in two versions: how a car And as a van.

On Tama, with full charge, 65 kilometers could be driven. Rechargeable compartment Designers located on the sides at the bottom of the car. For a quick and convenient change of batteries, guides were provided, with which the batteries were put forward to the side.

After Tama, Nissan had 7 more concepts of electric vehicles, but none of them went into the series. In 2008, the company begins work on the prototype of a new engine operating from the lithium-ion battery. NUVU technology will be the basis on which Nissan Leaf will be built later.

See how the first electric cars looked. There are even milkos and moonport!

Previously, Tesla

In 2010, when a fully electric LEAF was received on official selling, there were no more than a manufacturer. Tesla is just a year as showed the first protopit Model S - it will appear on the roads only in 2012.

[In March 2008, Tesla began serial production of fully electric Tesla Roadster under the contract with Lotus. According to the terms of the contract, 2 500 electrocars were issued, therefore the project cannot be called mass].

The product of the Chinese car industry, fully electric BYD E6, will be released only in a year, in 2011. Renault Zoe. - In December 2012. Mitsubishi. Outlander Phev. Although it will be the discovery of 2012, but it is impossible to consider it direct competitor: this is a plug-in hybrid.

And the hybrid Chevrolet Volt, whose sales also started in 2010, and with which the first time the Avtogurnalists compared Nissan Leaf, in the end did not become a serious competitor for Nissan on the world stage.

Early launch of a fully electric car allowed Nissan to take a leading position in the new industry. While other manufacturers first developed an electric vehicle, and then the electric vehicle was developed at the right price, Nissan Leaf did his name.

Three generations Nissan Leaf

At the start of sales, the head of Nissan Carl Gosn said The New York Times: "We will make sure that the market for which the car will be supplied to, the consumer had a basic infrastructure, allowing him to drive a car calmly and not worry."

So began first generation Leaf. Then the car could not boast a large stock of the course: by different estimates, the car drove on one charge from 117 to 175 kilometers.

In the innovative for that time, the decision was two charging sockets - for constant and alternating current. Charger that can be connected to a regular outlet, charged the car in 8 hours. Fast charging restored the battery capacity by 80% in 30 minutes. The manufacturer guaranteed that 70-80% of the battery capacity will continue for 10 years.

Second generation Nissan LEAF released in 2017. The car was equipped with a system driving Propilot and electronic pedals (systems that allow you to adjust the speed only by pressing the accelerator pedal).

When promoting Propilot, the car itself could control the distance within one strip. Propilot Park is an independent parking system. It works with four cameras and 12 ultrasound sensors.

E-pedal or electronic pedal - a system that allows you to adjust the speed only by pressing the accelerator pedal.

The power supply of the electrocarcar increased to 378 kilometers along the European NEDC and 240 km of American EPA assessment system. The automaker did not change the charging connector, and because of the greater the battery capacity, the time of rapid charging up to 80% increased to 40 minutes.

Third generationNissan LEAF was presented in January 2019. The car was marked with LEAF E + or Leaf Plus depending on the sales market. The novelty was equipped with batteries with a capacity of 64 kW / h, increased the stroke reserve. The electric car will be able to drive up to 363 km on one charging. Appearance Nissan Leaf has not undergone significant changes.

Right now LEAF is a very popular electric car. In March 2019, the sale of the Nissan Leaf car exceeded 400,000 copies. According to the company's estimates, the owners of Leaf drove on their cars more than 10 billion kilometers. Nissan Leaf is available in more than 50 markets around the world. This year, the geography of sales will expand on six new markets in Latin America and on seven in Asia and Oceania.

The most sold electric car

The first 100 thousand electric vehicles Leaf Nissan could be implemented by 2014. A year later, 200,000 LEAF was sold worldwide. In 2018, the electric car reached 300,000 sales, and in March 2019 noted 400-thousand.

The 2018th year of Nissan Leaf finished in the status of the world's favorite electric vehicles. Cumulative sales of five leading models looked like this:

Nissan Leaf.: 369 940 cars
Tesla Model S.: 242 200 cars
BAIC EC-SERIES: 172 850 cars
Mitsubishi Outlander. Phev: 172 640 cars
Chevrolet Volt.: 171 670 machines

If we evaluate sales by brands, then Nissan with the only model loses to competitors, but still remains in the leaders:

Byd.: 517 230 cars
Tesla: 500 390 cars
Nissan.: 379 910 cars
Baic.: 322 300 cars
BMW.: 251 870 machines

Statistics are taken from different sources and are somewhat different, but it does not distort the general idea of \u200b\u200bthe leaders of the industry.

5 reasons why LEAF is so popular

On time appeared

Nissan released a fully electric car to the world market before competitors. Leaf was immediately sold at a reasonable price with wide technical characteristics.

Price

In 2015, when electric vehicles were actively sold in world markets, the average price tag of Nissan Leaf was about 31 thousand dollars. Tesla Model 3 in basic configuration (which arranged few people) cost 35 thousand dollars. Chevy Bolt could be purchased for 37.5 thousand dollars.

Caring for infrastructure

Since the launch of LEAF Nissan leads active work With partners in the implementation of infrastructure for electric vehicles in housing under construction. For example, in August 2011, Nissan and the leading California Developer City Ventures agreed that electric wiring will appear in new homes.

Nissan works and over network scaling charging stations. For example, in 2013, in the territory of the United States there were about 160 stations of rapid charging, and Nissan agreed with partners to build another 500 over the next 18 months.

Reliability

In June 2011, Nissan Leaf was awarded the five stars of the EURO NCAP test. He became the first electric car that received the highest rating in this testing system. In May 2013, Nissan Leaf received the highest security rating IIHS (Institute of Safety Insurance on Roads). In 2018, the new generation of Nissan LEAF received five stars from Euro NCAP.

There are no serious problems

For 9 years, Nissan had only one scandal with LEAF. In 2012, the users of the electric car from the areas with a hot climate began to complain to reducing the stroke range. At first, Nissan did not react to negative feedback, then the owners of Leaf conducted independent testing.

After that, the automaker made his tests and found out that problems with the stock turn arise from cars with big mileage. Nissan has released a reminder for use, and later launched the battery exchange program.

Nissan Leaf in Russia

According to the Avtostat Analytical Agency, at the end of 2018, 144 electric vehicles were registered in Russia, 76 of which - Nissan Leaf.

I bought Leaf in 2018, more of curiosity. I wanted to get acquainted with an innovative car. I have the release of 2013 release. It is perfect: for the day I drive no more than 50 kilometers, and at night there is an opportunity to charge the car, because I live in my own home.

In 2018, there was practically no infrastructure for electric vehicles in the suburbs, there was little little for the year.

With a mixed cycle of one charge, LEAF is enough about 100 kilometers. This corresponds to the stated indicators, taking into account the battery wear of 25%. In the cold season, the reserve of the stroke is reduced almost twice, especially if you stand in traffic jams.

The full charge of the battery goes on average five hours. Fully discharge the battery per day is very rare. I charge at night, setting up a timer so that by 7 am the car was ready.

Nissan LEAF - the second car in our family. Savings, compared with an SUV, substantial - about 5 thousand rubles at refueling per month. In addition, the gasoline car needs frequent maintenance and oil change, filters.

During the operation, LEAF did not break, so I can not say whether there are problems with spare parts (officially Nissan Leaf in Russia is not supplied - approx. Ed.).

I did not have any unusual incidents with Nissan Leaf. Is it interesting to observe the reaction of people on traffic lights - they do not expect such durability from a small machine, and even without a radius engine.

Those who are going to buy an electric car can advise only immediately decide the question where and how they will charge it. In my opinion, electric cars will not soon be popular in our country, therefore, the rapid development of infrastructure does not have to wait.

Nissan Leaf in Crashing

In Russian Crashing, Nissan Leaf was only Sochi Urentcar., now he is removed from the fleet. Only users over 30 years old could rent an electric car and with driving experience for more than 5 years. One minute of rent first accounted for 14 rubles, then the price was reduced to 12 rubles.

Carixing has been working in Odessa since 2017 MobileCar., in his park about 50 electromotivers Nissan Leaf. For users, commercially available, hour and daily tariffs are available.

Charging car is carried out by the operator. If the charge of the car is less than 20%, this must be reported to the company. For leaving the car with charge less than 10% are fine.

The service can take advantage of the citizens of Ukraine aged 21 years of driving from 2 years. For foreign citizens, the service is available in coordination with the operator.

In April 2019, CARCHERING launched in Georgia AicarHis fleet fully consists of electric cars: Nissan Leaf and Renault Zoe. The minimum age for registration in the service is 21 years, the minimum driving experience is 2 years.

The cost of the trip is 0.08 Lari per minute (approximately 1.95 rubles) plus 0.45 lari (approximately 11 rubles) for each kilometer. Users are provided 10 free minutes before start. The application features a route to build a rental car.

Cars are insured. In the case of an accident, the user pays the franchise and other spending that does not fall under the coverage of the insurance policy.

The electromobile Nissan Leaf is produced in Japan since 2010. The car is sold in the markets of Japan, America, Europe, Australia, but on russian market "Nissan Lif" is not officially represented.

The five-door hatchback is driven by an electric motor with a capacity of 80 kW (108 liters.) The energy source serves by lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 24 kWh, which can be charged on "electrostating" or from a conventional electrical network.

In 2013, the electric car was upgraded: the engineers have improved the power electronics unit (its mass is lower), added the possibility of charging from the household network and increased the electric motorcycle efficiency, as a result of which the passport reserve of the NEDC cycle rose from 175 to 199 km.

As a result of another modernization of 2015, Nissan LEAF received a version with extensioned tanks - 30 kWh, a stroke reserve on one charging on such a car is 250 km.

In the European market, the electric vehicle is sold at a price of 23-29 thousand euros, depending on the subsidies provided by each country. Nissan LEAF with a bushee of increased capacity is more expensive for two thousand euros.

"Nissan Lif" is one of the best-selling electric vehicles in the world, for example, in 2014, 61 thousand copies of the model were sold - this best result Among all machines on electric traction. In the Chinese market, the car is known under the name.

2nd generation 2017

The second generation of the electromotive Nissan Leaf is produced since 2017, the machines are made at the factories in Japan, the United States and the UK.

The five-door hatchback is equipped with a 150 liter electric motor. p., Under the floor is a loading lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 40 kWh. The stated stroke reserve, measured by the European standard NEDC, is 378 km. When using a quick charging terminal, fill the battery by 80% in just 40 minutes, but to fully charge the car from the household power grid, it will take up to 16 hours.

You need 7.9 seconds to accelerate until hundreds, and the maximum speed is limited at 144 km / h. In some markets, Nissan Leaf Nismo is offered with standard force aggregate, but with "sports bumpers, modified suspension and steering settings.

The electric vehicle has a complex of propilot systems that allows in a completely unmanned mode to move along the highway within one strip. Another feature of the "lift" is the E-Pedal function: in this case, the brake pedal is not used, and the braking occurs when the gas pedal is released.

On the European market, Nissan Leaf is from 32 thousand euros, in the US, the price of the model begin with a mark of 30 thousand dollars. In the future, the company plans to start selling this electric vehicle and in Russia.

Nissan as over 15 years is the leader in the development of lithium-ion batteries. However, the real history of electrical vehicles Nissan begins much earlier. This is not 2010, as it is believed to be the appearance of the model LEAF - Era Ecological Nissan began in 1947.

It was a unique period in the automotive industry and the development of electric vehicles. Due to the lack of fuel after World War II, the Japanese government to cope with the crisis encouraged entrepreneurs to produce electric transport.

Tama E4S.

The reason for the appearance of Nissan Tama became the post-war deficit of fuel, while there were no problems with electricity, the government contributed to the production of electric vehicles.

Tama Electric CAR was created by Tokyo Electric Cars Company - one of the ancestors Prince Motor Co., Ltd., who later merged with Nissan. The TAMA model was developed by military aviation engineers who lost work at the end of the war.

Nissan Tama Electric Vehicle E4S

The Tama model earned high grades in performance tests and was produced until 1950, was used as a taxi. It was equipped with removable lead batteries, provided the power of 3.3 kW and drove at one charge to 65 km (according to some data - 96 km) at one charge. Accepted the car before maximum speed 35.2 km / h.

The compact version of the pickup was also available. The car was produced until 1950, when the post-war recovery of Japan continued, and the supply of fuel stabilized.

Tama EMS.

Two years after the presentation of the first electric car, Nissan, a more modern 5-seater electric car was presented - Tama Senior EMS equipped with 40-volt lead batteries.

Nissan Tama Senior EMS

The new electric car was equipped with an independent front suspension, 1000 mm longer, 300 mm wide and had a 400-millimeter wheel base. He could overcome 200 km on one charge and accelerate to 55 km / h.

315x

Nissan 315x is a concept car licked at the Tokyo Auto Show in 1970.

Model 315x-B is a double concept with 5-kW motor, rear wheel drive and developing maximum speed of 40 km / h.

EV4.

Back in the 1960s, the oil crisis gave Nissan an urgent mission to create a commercially viable electric car, and the company sends its efforts to develop electric vehicles.

In connection with the large-scale national project on the development of electric cars in Japan, in 1971, close cooperation began between leading companies and research institutes under the auspices of industrial science and the technological agency of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.

As a result, in 1973, Nissan for estimated tests provided the Ministry of two small Nissan EV4-P and EV4-N Pickup.

The EV4-P model is a compact double electric pickup actuated exclusively lead-acid battery and equipped with a 24 kW constant motor.

In tests on the assessment of the mileage conducted by the Agency for Industrial Sciences and Technology Electric Nissan EV4-P overcame 302 km on one charge of a battery at a constant speed of 40 km / h, and even at the beginning of the 2000s, this indicator is not inferior to modern electric cars.

It included such extended functions as regenerative braking, light FRP frame and proved its practicality by passing a series of field tests, including the crash test, which was unprecedented for electric vehicles.

Maximum speed EV4-P - 87 km / h, and acceleration from 0 to 40 km / h held 6.9 seconds.

Second pickup Nissan. EV4-H was created as an improved version of the first and had more improved indicators, including a distance range up to 496 km on one charge.

IN mass production Cars have not been launched because of their value and not practicality of movement on the highway.

EV

In 1980, Nissan was more diligently for the development of electric vehicles. So in 1983, Nissan March EV was presented - the first experimental electric car with asynchronous engine, And already in 1985, on the 26th Tokyo Motor Show, the company presents an electrical car Nissan EV Guide, but it was used only at the plant for public guests.

The maximum speed of the excursion Nissan EV Guide is 16 km / h, and the movement range is 60 km at one battery charge.

In the same 85th for use in resorts, hotels were produced in the amount of more than 40 units of Nissan EV Resort.

Garbage Collecting Truck.

Three years later, together with five Japanese car manufacturers A cargo electric car was developed to collect garbage - Nissan Garbage Collecting Truck, which was mainly intended for the city - Yokohama.

President EV.

In the 90s, Nissan more seriously approached the production electric cars And began to increase the range of modifications, and more precisely expand the purpose of its electric vehicles.

In 1991, a special purpose convertible was presented, created on the basis of the third generation of Nissan President Pressident JHG50 (1990-2003). This electric car was not massive and was provided by Nissan for use in special events, such as transportation of Sumo Champions on Victory parades and as a leading car in marathons. It was also used at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics in the same 1991.

Since the car was created for special purposes, such as the parade, it was not endowed with special dynamics and used the usual zinc battery. At the maximum speed of 40 km / h, he drove up to 100 km at one battery charge. Accelerated up to 30 km / h in 3 seconds, and up to 40 km / h in 9.5 seconds.

Fev

In the same year, the concept car Nissan Fev was presented at the Tokyo Motor Show.

The car was developed as an electric car for riding short distances, but it was never launched into mass production.

Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries were developed in 1990 by Sony Corporation. A day after the official announcement of Sony, Nissan began to study batteries for use in the automotive industry, and later in 1992 began cooperation with the company and conduct research, the development of lithium-ion batteries.

In 1995, the company shows the FEV II concept car at the Tokyo Motor Show.

This is the first electric car Nissan working on lithium-ion batteries, though concept.

Cedric EV.

In 1993. year Nissan. Provided the Environment Agency, the Government of Japan and for use by the Secretary for Environmental Protection - Cedric EV.

At this stage of the development of electric cars, Nissan, the company for the future wide implementation of low emission cars is carried out by fundamental studies of the effectiveness of motion, economic indicators and maintenance.

Regarding Cedric, with the photo you can see that the electric vehicle is created on the basis of the 4-door classic sedan Cedric VII and is designed to drive short distances.

Cedric EV was equipped with air conditioning, power steering and other amenities providing a smooth and convenient trip.

A lead-acid battery and an AC motor was installed on Cedric, which made it possible to drive 85 km on one charge with a conditional speed of 40 km / h and the turned off air conditioning.

Avenir EV.

Having received a positive experience in the production of electric vehicles in small quantities, in 1994 the company represents the Avenir model.

The electrical wagon of Nissan Avenir was intended mainly for electric power companies.

Prairie Joy EV.

In 1995, on the 31st Tokyo Motor Show, the world's first electric vehicle was equipped with a cylindrical lithium-ion battery, but as "first" it was announced only in 1996.

Since 1997, the car was commissioned for various organizations, and everything was released about 30 units.

It is also worth noting that the electromobile Nissan Prairie Joy has been successfully used for six impeccable years by the Japanese national research team in the North Pole, on their research station in Ni-Alesunda, Svalbard, Norway. This point is the most northern settlement in the world, which has proven the feasibility and durability of the lithium-ion battery in extreme conditions.

Altra EV.

Presented on Los Angeles on International automotive exhibition In 1997, Nissan Altra EV became the first production electric car using a lithium-ion battery in the North American market.

This electric minivan in 1999 was awarded the Green Guide to Cars and Trucks award and was sold as in Japan (known as R'nesa EV) and in the United States. A total of about 200 electrowels were produced. The name of the Altra EV model was invented from the English words "Altternative to Gas Power Vehicles" and "Ultra".

Initially, cars were made for utilities, including Southern California Edison, Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. They were even used as cars to secure safety at Parking at the Santa Monica Police Department. For a short time, Altra EV also leased Los Angeles International Airport.

Charging was a proven, secure, user-friendly inductive battery charging system through an electromagnetic blade inserted into the charging port located in the front grille.

In the synchronous engine with a capacity of 83 horsepower (62 kW), a high-performance internal magnet of neodymium iron with a rotor was used, designed for about 89% of the efficiency of work.

The 12 liter ion battery Altra EV (Li-Ion) was located under the cabin floor and provided about 130 km of mileage. The electrocare also equipped with an ABS anti-lock system, recuperative braking and developed the maximum speed of 120 km / h.

For comfort, during the trip, Nissan Altra EV was equipped with air conditioning, windows, high-quality audio and additional airbags.

Hypermini.

The beginning of the 2000s marked not only the beginning of the new millennium, and new opportunities with modern technologies, extensive experience in electric car height and ambitious projects. That is how it happened for Nissan, the company made a strong breakthrough with a fairly large step forward in the manufacture of electric cars.

After the presentation of Altra EV, Nissan challenges himself and develops a more compact and less utilitarian electric car. The result was the legendary Hypermini, which debuted in 1999.

The electric car received a special 2-local body construction with a light and very rigid aluminum frame, equipped with a synchronous traction engine with a neodymium magnet (24 kW / 33 hp) and a high-performance lithium-ion battery system (90 AH capacity).

These new technologies allowed Hypermini to provide a trip range of about 115 km at one battery charge (the indicator varies depending on the state of the road surface and weather conditions) and accelerate to the maximum speed of 100 km / h.

The battery is fully charged in four hours using an inductive charger with a 200 volt charger.

Hypermini was estimated at 4,000,000 yen with a 200-volt battery and 4,015,000 yen with a non-fixed charger for 200 volts.

Pivo

Submitted in 2005 at the Tokyo Motor Show, the Pivo Electrocar Concept became the world's first car equipped with a lithium-ion battery that allows you to create a more compact layout.

Pivo conceptual car created as the potential of the future electric vehicles Nissan. The most distinguishing feature of Pivo is its cabin, which rotates 360 degrees, eliminating the need for the opposite direction.

The compact housing also makes the car extremely easy for maneuver. Excellent visibility is enhanced by Nissan Around View technology, which helps reduce hazardous visibility areas, and navigation and audio systems are easy to manage while driving.

All these features are supported by innovative environmentally friendly Nissan technologies, such as Compact Lithium-Ion Battery.

Pivo2.

The debut of the electric concept in the 2nd generation of Pivo took place at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2007. Auto was equipped lithium-ion battery With double cylindrical battery capacity, which gave him an extended range of motion.

This environmentally friendly, original, triple and innovative car also received the same as its predecessor cabin capable of rotating 360 degrees and includes the latest technology, innovation and Robotic Agent to create more comfort.

Pivo3

Based on innovative Pivo 1 and Pivo 2, the new concept of Pivo 3 was presented at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2011. And this was not an electric car from the future with a peculiar "highlight", Pivo in the third generation is a completely "developed" electric car, the purpose of which be useful in the life of tomorrow's pure city.

Starting since 2005, namely from Pivo1 presentation on Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan introduced another six other concepts of electric cars, demonstrating their desire to create exciting and innovative solutions for mobility with zero emissions, and at the 42nd Tokyo Motor Show Nissan presents the concept of Pivo3 .

But this is not just a conceptual car, Pivo 3 is that Nissan considers more "realistic" in the near future, this is how the company sees electrical mobility, thereby making one more step forward.

Mixim

Nissan Mixim is presented at Frankfurt am Main Auto Show in 2007. Its feature was the use of an electric motor (Nissan "Super Motor") and the use of compact lithium-ion batteries, which makes it possible to develop extraordinarily quick performance in combination with a useful range.

Mixim conceptual car is a compact electric car for young drivers who are mostly occupied by their computer and world through the Internet.

The driver is located in the center of the cabin, with two seats on both sides, while steering wheel And form controls repeating the interface, such a familiar players in the computer.

"Test Vehicle"

In 2008, the test was completely electric prototype vehicleEquipped with a lithium-ion battery and the launch of which is scheduled for the company in 2010.

In accordance with the Nissan GT 2012 business plan, the company has committed itself to leading the market for cars with zero emissions and announced plans to introduce a fully electric car already in 2010 and to enter the market on a global scale in 2012.

Thanks to modern lithium-ion batteries, this electric test vehicle has become part of the research and development program. nissan companies On vehicles with zero emissions.

The prototype was equipped with an front actuator, a newly developed engine with a capacity of 80 kW and an inverter. Compact lithium-ion batteries were installed under the floor, without sacrificing neither the cabin or cargo space.

In 2009, a new test prototype demonstrated excellent pleasure from the movement of a clean car with a zero emission level.

The car was based on the newly developed platform of an electric car developed for the future serial electrocarm Nissan LEAF.

Nuvu.

In 2008, at the Paris Motor Show Nissan, there is a vision of the future urban electrocapsulated Nuvu, it was a literally "new look" on the car.

The 3-meter Nissan Nuvu concept with a unique planting 2 + 1 was first developed for a megapolis, the inhabitants of which do not want to compromise with their personal freedom or their comfort.

Nissan Leaf.

The Nissan Leaf Ze0 / Aze0 electrocar is the first serial electric car Nissan, which is equipped with compact lithium-ion batteries and intended for mass production.

The serial electrocar was first introduced at the end of 2010. Initially, it was available in Japan and North America, eventually became available in Europe and in other markets.

Since the debut, the sale of a compact five-door hatchback Nissan Lif increases annually. This model was a pioneer and quickly became the most sold all over the world as a fully electric car. In 2010, the proportion of Nissan Lifa among all electric vehicles sold was 45%.

The electric car was available in three sets of S, SV and SL, the functionality of which was gradually improved and new technologies were added, such as the rear view camera and voice command technology.

In 2015, the leaf passed through restyling and changed slightly. New Nissan Leaf 2015 went on sale with new batterywhich increased the distance of the trip on one charge by more than 20%.
