What if a car can help get you eco-friendly wings? Recently, the new Nissan Leaf has gained publicity for its CARWINGS feature. Whether you’re an eco-auto geek or an environmentally conscious person, you might be interested to know about this car’s motivating feature.
The Nissan Leaf is a 100% electric, no gas automobile that seats five people, and it’s priced as low as $32,780. The SL model features a solar panel spoiler, rearview monitor, cargo cover, fog lamps, auto on/off headlamps and HomeLink universal transceiver. The SV model has the Nissan navigation system, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, cruise control, regeneration braking system and 16’’ alloy wheels. This vehicle has zero tailpipe emissions, an 80kW AC synchronous electric motor, 100 miles/charge, five doors and speeds up to 90 mph. All of this is pretty impressive for an electric automobile, right?
Well, there is yet another feature that makes this car more desirable. The CARWINGS program is a telematics system that tracks and displays a variety of information on the vehicle’s 7’’ screen display. For example, it can inform you of which charging stations are rechargeable and how much energy you have used. It can even provide you with daily, monthly and annual reports to show you how travel mileage and energy consumption. Some other aspects it measures include the CO2 tailpipe emission reduction and average energy economy. Between the bar graphs, memos and reports, you will be fully aware of how much traveling you do.
Along with knowing what an avid traveler you are, you can also find out how you rank with other Nissan Leaf drivers. You can track your efficiency and eco-friendly dedication with others, which can really help motivate you to stay on track.
This electric car is really setting the bar high by bringing modern technology to all aspects of the vehicle. In addition to providing you with a convenient mode of transportation, this model keeps you living a green lifestyle so you don’t have to choose one over the other. When you’re up against other eco-drivers, you’re going to want to make a competition out of it.
