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.

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…

It's not just consumers who recognize the Nissan JUKE as a model that stands out from the CUV crowd. Nissan does, too. In fact, they're trying to play up the JUKE's uniqueness by infusing it with key components from the dramatic, sporty Nissan GT-R Super Car (i.e., the 530-hp, 3.9-liter, V6 engine;  six-speed transaxle; RWD driveline; prop shaft; 20-inch alloy RAYS).

As you can tell, the design is focused primarily on performance. That said. It's not focused on agility alone. To keep prospective passengers safe, Nissan has engineered the industry's first-ever super CUV…

The Danish EV rally was dramatically different from events in which conventional petrol cars compete. There were no dirt storms or aerobatic-like moments. Rather, the main criteria judged at the Oresund Rally was timing, which kept things pretty calm.

Competitors were tasked with passing established checkpoints on time. Tardiness resulted in penalties. Being early didn't work to competitors' advantage, either. That also resulted in docked points…
