CEO Carlos Ghosn appeared at the inaugural presentation in LA, attesting to the electric car&#8217;s centrality to Nissan&#8217;s vision of our automotive future. I saw the car, kept safely behind the velvet rope, in an upscale San Jose shopping center, Santana Row, this afternoon. The LEAF is distinctive enough to stand out, while remaining a mainstream Japanese sedan. The car on display showed off its dual charger inlets &#8211; one for the new standard plug which will be capable of 120 volt or 240 volt charging; the other for DC fast charging. While the first cars delivered in areas with fast chargers will have both inlets, not all cars will. DC\/Fast charge capability will probably become an option after the initial rollout.<\/p>\n<p>The car will be on display there for the next few days. Then it&#8217;s off to Seattle. More information on the tour <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nissanusa.com\/leaf-electric-car\/index.jsp#\/car\/index\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a0120a635cd9d970c0128760e0164970c alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/pluginamerica.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/6a0120a635cd9d970c0128760e0164970c-320wi.jpg\" alt=\"LEAFmule\" \/> While the LEAF stayed put on a pedestrian island at the mall, five flights up in the parking garage, it&#8217;s electric heart beat in a &#8220;mule,&#8221; a test vehicle that which I got to drive once around a short track. Bottom line: the car is fine. Quick off the line, corners well, better than good enough. A lot like my RAV4 EV in the ways that matter. Fair&#8217;s fair: I let one of the Nissan folks drive my RAV4 EV. He seemed to think it a pretty good car, too. I look forward to taking LEAF for a real drive one of these days.<\/p>\n<p>[Photos: Marc Geller]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nissan LEAF has been on tour in California the past few weeks.
