Amazon. 1 – Новый LEAF: икона концепции Nissan Intelligent Mobility С началом производства первого поколения LEAF в 2010 году Nissan начал революцию в мире автомобилестроения, демонстрируя, что электромобиль с нулевым уровнем выбросов вредных веществ способен принести огромную выгоду покупателям и обществу в целом и навсегда изменить автомобилестроение как отрасль. Сочетание нулевой токсичности (за пользование электромобилями водители во многих городах мира пользуются сниженными налоговыми ставками, получают более удобные варианты парковки и право на бесплатный проезд по платным дорогам) с низкими расходами на содержание, почти бесшумным двигателем и изяществом премиум-класса оказалось весьма привлекательным для будущих владельцев электромобилей. После запуска производства электромобилей инфраструктура зарядки расширилась, что сделало владение электромобилем еще более удобным и привлекательным.

Researchers have harnessed the energy generated by heavy machines, and used it to cut their fuel consumption by half (Photo: Aalto University) Image Gallery (4 images) Many hybrid cars feature regenerative braking - they harness the energy generated when they brake, and store it in the battery for later use. This helps maximize the amount of time that the car can run on one charge. One can't help but wonder, then, how much energy could be harvested from heavy-duty construction, mining and agricultural machines, as they go about their business. A group of researchers from Finland's Aalto University decided to find out, and reportedly ended up cutting those machines' fuel consumption by 50 percent.
The Aalto team added electric power transmission systems (including motors) to a variety of existing internal-combustion non-road mobile machines, effectively turning them into hybrids. The researchers are still in the process of determining which other actions provide the most energy. How a Microgrid Works" Once upon a time, there was a kingdom ruled by an all-powerful king. Each day, the King would visit the villages in his domain, bringing every household the wonders of daily life: cold meats and cheeses, artificial lighting, air conditioning and the complete filmography of Vin Diesel on a high definition plasma screen. So the people watched "Chronicles of Riddick," snacked on fruit pops and reveled long into the night. However, with each passing month, the King demanded a timely -- and costly -- tribute from his people, often raising the prices of this monetary token for seemingly no reason.
Then one day when the King came by, he brought none of the glorious gifts they'd grown to depend on -- not even a bag of frozen peas or a screening of "The Pacifier. " When the people asked the king what had happened, he told them that a tree had fallen over on a power line in a village on the far side of the kingdom.
The idea of the microgrid is changing all this, however. The Peninsula's High Demand for Electric Cars. On the Peninsula, the demand for electric vehicles is high. But the supply? It hasn’t caught up yet. With our addiction to technology and our love of all things green, it’s no surprise that the Peninsula is a hotbed of activity for electric vehicles. The in North America to purchase Nissan’s all-electric LEAF was actually an engineer who resides on the Peninsula. Electric vehicles, or EVs, may not be the end-all environmental solution to climate change and air pollution; they only burn as clean as the driver’s sources of electricity.
If you’re interested in going electric, you have many local options: the Nissan LEAF, Chevy Volt or even Honda and Toyota’s upcoming plug-in hybrids. Nissan LEAF Nissan has only released its all-electric car, the LEAF, in one city and six states, including California. For both the LEAF and the Chevy Volt, demand far exceeds supply, according to Brendan Dolan, community director at Redwood City’s Boardwalk Auto Center that sells both cars.
