Nissan makes EV possible for more Americans

Unless you have been living under a rock, you are now no doubt well aware of the fact that Nissan became the first auto-manufacturer to mass-produce a 100% electric vehicle – the Nissan LEAF.  While this milestone was quite an accomplishment, the first model of the Nissan LEAF does admittedly have some restraints that simply make it not an option to some Americans, despite the best of intentions.  However, Nissan is working around the clock to improve the EV, in an effort to make it not only equivalent to the cars we are used to driving today, but better.

The biggest issue surrounding the Nissan EV is not its limited range, though some might tell you that.  Think about it – Americans take cross-country road trips all the time and never spend even a fleeting moment thinking about the range of their vehicle, despite the fact that obviously there is not a vehicle that can make it across the country on one tank of gas.  No, we don’t worry about this because of the abundance of gas stations to refuel our vehicles all around the country.

Thus, the biggest issue surrounding the Nissan LEAF is not only the lack of charging stations in multiple locations, but the efficiency of these charging stations as well.  Therefore, Toyota dealers NY to LA are thrilled with the latest news coming out of Toyota headquarters: a smaller, cheaper and faster EV charging station has been developed!

Toyota is using its home country as a test market for these new chargers first, before heading west to Europe and the States.  The chargers will begin to be installed in Japan this November.  Although the chargers are theoretically possible for someone to install in their home, these EV charging stations are meant more to be installed in public locations, such as current gas stations, airports, shopping malls, grocery stores, etc.  Toyota will focus on selling the EV to these types of locations first.

Consumers can expect Toyota dealers, NY to LA, to have a larger and larger inventory of Nissan LEAF vehicles in the coming years.  As is always true with a new product, and especially a new vehicle, judging the market’s response is tough.  Thankfully, the demand for the LEAF has been plentiful and Nissan is quickly revamping its production abilities.

One can really see the changing market when you couple this with the fact that improved charging stations are quickly being installed in multiple locations by Toyota.  Staten Island residents, as well as those in surrounding suburbs, will soon be able to drive the fully electric Nissan LEAF just like they drive their gasoline-powered vehicle.

One thing’s for sure, as your Toyota Staten Island dealer, we at Hudson Nissan can’t wait!
