Hybrids still use gas. Unlike hybrids, or even plug-in hybrids, the
Nissan LEAF uses no gas, ever. The Nissan LEAF is committed to pure
electronic technology helping make the LEAF affordable for lots of
drivers.
The LEAF comes with a lithium-ion battery that is more
efficient than nickel metal hydride batteries, found in most hybrids,
in terms of energy density and life cycle. They come at half the weight
and twice the power!
And, the LEAF is innovation for the
planet. Many of the interior fabrics and materials are made from
recycled items, such as that plastic water bottle you're drinking from.
There's even fewer moving parts! With no oil changes, alternators,
spark plugs, or engine resulting in less maintenance costs during your
ownership! The LEAF sports room for five and speeds up to 90 mph!
