There is an interesting (and encouraging) article about real Irish experiences of the Nissan Leaf in Electric drivers confident in their choice.
Prof Gerry Wrixon was thinking along the same lines as I am :)
I must also keep an eye on the mentioned site: Irish EV Owners.com. There is no content there yet :|
Comments Off on Real Irish Experiences of Nissan Leaf

I am rapidly falling in love with a new piece of hardware. It is built on cutting-edge technology, and it is strongly associated with mobility :) It is not a PDA, table, or digital camera… It is a car! Not any car, but the Nissan Leaf.
Normally I am not a big fan of cars. They just do not excite me so much :|
However, the Leaf is different. It is widely being described as the first all electric car that is a viable alternative to a fossil fuel car!
So why do I like it so much? I find the concept of a vehicle running on clean energy very appealing. I love the fact that it does not pollute. It think that motor technology is far more exciting than engine technology. It is clean, simple, and far less prone to wear-and-tear (no clutch, gearbox, fan belts, .. no liquids of any type)! Also, it has to be a pleasure to drive a vehicle with an almost constant torque output!

The reports that I have read to date have all been very positive. Here is a small sample:
I will be watching the Leaf keenly :)
