Nissan Delivers 75,000th All-Electric LEAF in North America

Nissan delivers 75,000th all-electric LEAF in the U.S.

Nissan recently celebrated yet another milestone, only this time it was an accomplishment that took place in the United States. The Japanese automaker sold its 75,000 Nissan LEAF model in the U.S. to a family in Oregon. Rishabh Mehandru of Portland, Oregon was the lucky purchaser of the black LEAF, which happens to be his second LEAF after leasing his first one two years ago. “I’m a runner, and when I ran outside I found that I was inhaling a lot of exhaust from the gas-powered cars that passed me on the roads. I instantly became aware of the amount of fuel I was burning and that’s when I first decided that I wanted to get an electric car.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Introducing Nissan Ultimate Smart BBQ Vehicle

 

Nissan sees the potential of electric vehicles as infinite due to their eco-friendliness and incredibly comfortable ride. Believing that all things are possible, Nissan created the Ultimate Smart BBQ Vehicle – a whimsical concept vehicle created for the Green Funding Lab project in Japan. Nissan shares that the interest in BBQ in Japan is quickly expanding; however the need to start a fire and clean up after detracts from the experience. Now Nissan helps by building an electric car that can provide the source of the power for the BBQ while emitting zero emissions. Additionally, the concept vehicle builds a mosquito barrier system to drive annoying bugs out of your picnic area, a refreshing mist shower system allows you to cool off on a hot summer day, a flying selfie camera allows you to take pictures of your entire crew and setup, smartphone-link display turns your car window into a television display for karaoke or video streaming and it also comes equipped with a small waste disposal for quick and easy cleanup.
