Nissan LEAF sales recently hit the 10,000-unit milestone. And, it's for that ever-growing base of LEAF converts that Jim Johnson Nissan, serving the Bowling Green area has an exciting new innovation to share. Okay, okay...it might not be earth shattering. But, it will certainly make your relationship with the Nissan LEAF all that much more enjoyable.
Japanese automaker, Nissan, has released a new app that allows LEAF owners to monitor their EV's battery and real-time driving range right from their Blackberry or Android. It even lets users remotely pre-cool the car, which will likely come as a most welcome functionality for drivers in states where temps routinely exceed 90-degrees Fahrenheit. Perhaps, most exciting, though, is the new apps ability to remotely charge the EV. This means you can have it all powered up and ready to go from wherever you are on the planet. You'll never have to fly home from a business trip to a less than fully charged LEAF again!
Nissan LEAF App Capabilities
- Battery-level check- Remote charging
- Real-time snapshot of estimated driving range
- Climate control (i.e., pre-cooling and pre-heating)
Speaking on the decision to introduce the app to Nissan LEAF owners, Trisha Jung, Director, Vehicle Connected Services, Nissan North America said, "Nissan understands that telematics and other communication services are important for consumers. By providing accessibility and functionality to the Nissan LEAF through all major smartphone platforms, we are truly delivering 'Innovation for All'."1 Nissan was distinguished at the 2011 International Telematics Update Awards, for its CARWINGS technology, which includes the new smartphone app.
