There is no doubt about it, the Nissan LEAF is a great choice for those looking to almost abolish their carbon footprint, so why doesn't everyone have one? There are a few reasons why some people are not jumping to the opportunity, among the biggest is charging. Not like traditional gasoline engines that can just "fill up," electric cars need to charge by being plugged in.
The main problem is that charging takes time and charging stations can be difficult to find. Nissan is of course working hard to solve the problem of run time and making charging stations easier to locate.
Nissan is currently developing an information and communication technology (ICT) that will upload drivers habits and locations into a central database. Now with all that data, Nissan will be able to populate a map of public charging stations that drivers can refer to while traveling.
Set to be released in the United States in the near future, Nissan is currently beta testing it on roughly 13,000 LEAF EVs in Japan. The system went live on April 23rd, and is already cutting down on the time it would normally take a driver to find a charging station significantly.
