CO2 Emissions Reduction Energy Security The Case for Electric Vehicles

CO2 Emissions Reduction Energy Security Total Cost of Ownership The Case for Electric Vehicles

Benefits To The Consumer True zero-emission vehicle Affordable pricing Lower Total Cost of Ownership than a comparable Internal Combustion Engine Lower maintenance costs than an ICE vehicle (Less complexity, no engine, no oil changes) Cost Per Mile Comparison (15k miles) Car (good 25 mpg, $3/gal) = $0.12 per mile / $1,800 EV (avg $0.11 kWh) = $0.026 per mile / $396 Advantage exists even if gasoline drops below $1.10/gal Nissan Confidential

Nissan LEAF – Product Highlights Zero emission Affordable Stimulating acceleration Quietness 100-mile range sufficient for daily use Advanced intelligent transportation (IT) system Size5-door compact hatchback Capacity5 Adults Range 100 miles (US LA4) Top Speed90 mph BatteryLaminated Li-ion Capacity/Power24 kWh/over 90kW Motor High-response synchronous AC Motor (80kW/280Nm) IT System Integrated communication system Nissan Confidential

Why 100 Mile Range? On average 90% of the U.S. population drives less than 100 miles a day Typical consumer driving patterns: Weekday –Less than 50 miles % –5-10 miles – 26.5% Weekend –Less than 50 miles – 66.3% –20-29 miles – 23.5%
