Gas prices bumming you out? What about going gas-less with the Nissan Leaf?

 

It has a sleek, futuristic body that, you’ll notice, doesn’t have that little door you open up when you fill up with gas. It doesn’t need that little door because it doesn’t use gas. And you’ll notice the Nissan LEAF™ doesn’t have a tailpipe either. There is no need for a tailpipe on a car that doesn’t use gas and has Zero Emissions.*

Remember, we’re not talking about low emissions here. We’re not talking about a car that is powered by some gas and some electricity, like a hybrid is. We are talking about no emissions and zero gas. 100% electric.

Now when you get in the Nissan LEAF™, that’s when it becomes obvious how different this thing really is. You start it with the touch of a button and you are greeted not with the familiar vroom-vroom of a traditional car, but with a soothing modern start-up sound. You know that little techno-greeting when you turn on your computer or cellphone? It’s like that.

Alright, so the car is now running. This is
where it gets really cool – you don’t hear
any engine sounds and you don’t feel any engine vibrations. Silence. You could sit there and listen to yourself breathing if you were so inclined (though that would be kind of weird).

Next, it’s time to actually drive the car. Slip that futuristic gearshift into drive and step on the accelerator. Still no noise, still no vibration, but now there is something else to experience for the first time: 100% instant torque. Instant.
