JAKARTA - Nissan Motor Co Ltd officially launched the New Leaf or third generation. Carrying the tagline "Effortlessly Electric", the latest Nissan LEAF is designed as an electric car suitable for all groups, not only for novice EV users, but also an attractive option for conventional gasoline vehicle users.
It is known, since its introduction on August 1, 2009 the Leaf has been known as the world's first mass-sold zero-emission electric vehicle. Unfortunately, when the Leaf was launched (2010), the charging station infrastructure was still minimal, especially in some major markets. This complicates the daily use, especially in areas that are not ready for electric cars. In addition, the early generation of the Leaf only had a range of about 100-150 km per charge, much lower than consumer needs for long-distance travel.
Now, the third generation of the Leaf provides an attractive alternative for potential buyers, who want to get a higher maximum range, better charging speed, to a technology series that makes driving users easy every day.
The latest Nissan LEAF is available with two choices of liquid-cooled lithium-ion batteries, namely 52 kWh which supports an output of 130 kW and a torque of 345 Nm, then a 75 kWh battery that produces a torque of 160 kW and 355 Nm and has a maximum range of up to 303 miles (about 488 km). The improved thermal recovery and management system allows the use of the heat generated by the onboard charger to warm the battery, increasing its regeneration potential in cold weather. Plus, a new thermal cooling function connected to navigation is smartly optimizing battery cooling based on selected travel routes.
The comfort of charging is also a priority. When connected to a fast charger, the owner can recharge 10-80 percent of the power in just 35 minutes.
Nissan's president and CEO, Ivan Espinosa, confirmed that the latest Leaf is an important part of the Re: NIssan Action Plan strategy.
The first generation of Leaf has paved the way for the electric vehicle era. Now, the third generation of the Leaf comes with a combination of impressive performance, stylish design, and cutting-edge technology to encourage electrification lifestyles," he said, quoted from his official website, Wednesday, June 18.
