Mileage on a single battery is 160 km. These results represent the first capability offered by Nissan for prospective customers. Based on the survey, that ability has been able to meet 95 percent of daily vehicle user in the United States.
Nissan's strategy is not directly menyosor individual consumers. Rental cars are also targeted. With this, consumers do not have to have it directly, but can be hired to determine the ability of these electric vehicles first.
Battery prices yet to be announced by Nissan. However, Leaf according to plan as many as 50,000 units will be manufactured at its plant in Japan and will be marketed worldwide. For the battery, the capacity of its factory in Japan is 65,000 units per year. Battery plant will be built in the United States in 2011 with production of 200,000 sets of batteries per year. Battery plant will be built in Britain and Portugal.
The resulting distance is 160 km from the battery once the content. This is in accordance with the method of driving in the city EPA standards, the United States. The car slid under a speed of 150 kph top speed or Leaf. These results do not include the operation in mode "ECO" is expected to extend the mileage of 15-20 percent. In addition, there is also a model of "running out of juice" that makes the car will lower energy use, including for operational accessories.
What if the battery suddenly runs out and depots do not exist? "Before you run out, drivers were given warnings, such as conventional cars when gas is thin," said Mark Perry, Director of Product Planning of Nissan Americas.
According to plan, Nissan will also work with AAA to special charger and will charge the battery in a few minutes. That way, the car can move on to the public depots. Hence also, the car is equipped with a navigation system that can show you where the nearest electrical charging general!
The next question, how old li-ion battery? Under the law in California, its age must be 10 years or 240,000 km warranty. The federal guarantee of just 8 years or 128,000 miles. According to Perry, the first-generation battery pack will only have the ability to use 70-80 percent after 10 years.
The battery used is Li-ion battery with high density coatings plus a cathode made of manganese oxide. These batteries have low internal resistance with good heat stability. Leaf battery developed by Nissan with NEC, which is also called by the name of Automotive Energy Supply Corp. (AESC).
Battery pack weight is 218 kg and has included the control module. Its total capacity is 24kWh, with energy density 140W-h/kg cells. The cell weights about 171 kg. Meanwhile, an electric motor mounted on the ability transaksel 80 kW and 280 Nm of torque. The Leaf-inch wheelbase is 2700 mm and 4445 mm length.
Charging a car battery charger uses two connectors. One is for electricity at home with the minimum voltage 200 volts, and the second for fast charging. Charging time is 6-8 hours at home. When using a special charger, charging for 30 minutes was able to fill 80 percent of the battery.
When plugged into the outlet, the IT system on the car can be programmed via cell phone. The system was included to regulate the conditions of passenger space, activate the heater temperature, and air conditioning system.
Like hybrid cars, Leaf designed using components that are intended to save fuel, including tires with low rolling resistance. However, for the body, resistance (cd) Leaf is higher than the Prius, with a ratio of 0.25 and 0.29.
