Nissan includes the most novel consumer technology in the new Nissan Leaf . Nissan engineers in Great Britain, Europe and Japan have introduced more than 100 technological and engineering changes and have refined Leaf to increase the efficiency of the car and achieve even more environmentally respectful performance.
The Nissan Leaf has a telematic and entertainment system called Carwings , which connected to the outside world through an integrated SIM card. This system prevents the driver from using his own smartphone to provide connectivity to the car, and also allows total control through a seven -inch touch screen.
Most of the more than 100 changes that have been made about the Nissan Leaf Original comes from customer opinions or have been inspired by users' comments in forums dedicated to Nissan Leaf . One of the most important changes is the redefinition of the algorithm used to determine the remaining real autonomy when the car is moving. This algorithm is now able to read the driver's behavior at the wheel and use a long -term intelligent logic instead of calculating only based on a certain energy consumption at a specific time.
In addition, the Nissan Leaf can check its load status before starting a tour, Google Send to Car allows you to send programmed routes from a smartphone or a computer, the navigation system now shows the remaining autonomy at the end of a trip, the list of the closest recharge points is constantly updated through the telematic system, the button echoes in the steering Personal/World Energy Savings of the Nissan Leaf are shown, the Bose Energy Efficient Series (EES) sound equipment has lighter speakers and a digital amplifier that uses less energy, has four on -board cameras that create a 360 degree zenith image to facilitate the parking lot, the battery has a capacity 5,000 times higher than that of a smartphone, the engine generates 254 Nm Double than that of a Lotus Elise, the new battery indicator shows the remaining percentage in addition to a bars display, LED light in the port of Recharge ensures visibility in night recharges, the car can adjust the interior temperature according to the time of the year through the Carwings app from home or the office, the Eco Routing system plans the paths to save energy and extend the autonomy, the autonomy, LED headlights have a five -time scope to conventional halogen bulbs, the RSS reader, read news, weather information and other information from the favorite RSS source, the seats and direction have improved to adapt to the tastes of European drivers.
Security is a key issue in the Nissan Leaf . It is false that the car cannot drive or recharge when it rains. All high voltage elements are located outside the cabin scope with a specific 12V battery for all those elements that are in the space for passengers such as electric windows and entertainment equipment controls.
Motor and battery of the new Nissan Leaf
Each Nissan Leaf has a propulsion system that is mounted vertically with an engine of the size of a football ball. The current arrives from the 192 380 V cells of the 250 kg battery.
The battery has different feeding systems with an investor system to direct and convert the current. For example, the current current from a domestic plug, becomes DC to feed the battery. Fast public loaders directly feed the Nissan Leaf to load the battery from vacuum to 80% in about 30 minutes .
The battery is located in the lower part of the vehicle to reduce the center of gravity of the same and the new regenerative braking system returns 94% of the energy that recovers to the battery. The recharge cable can be unlocked automatically for other uses when the load has been completed but its electromagnetic block is used to avoid disconnections not foreseen during the recharge phase.
Attending to the suggestions of the current owners of Nissan Leaf, the port of the car's recharge has been modified . The recharge spring can now open remotely from the key or by an electric (not mechanical button as now) located on the dashboard and has a small LED light that helps identify the shots during the night or in sites with little lighting such as, for example, an underground parking.
The car can be loaded safely in a garage and takes 12 hours to completely load when it plugs into a domestic shot. Nissan recommends that the future owners of the Leaf that an electrician reviews their domestic installation and validates their suitability for the recharge of the car before the acquisition of the same. The best solution for domestic recharge is a wall loader that can provide loads of 16 or 32 amps (depending on local regulations), to load a Nissan Leaf in eight or four hours respectively.
