@homertalk, I know what you meant about the rooftop solar panel on top of the Leaf, but as you can see liveoilfree was talking about their solar panels on the roof of their home. When I talked with a Nissan rep at the Leaf Tour event he said that the Leaf’s future rooftop solar panel was not certain. The Aptera supposedly will use a rooftop panel to power it’s climate control system so I don’t see why Nissan couldn’t do the same thing. The Koenigsegg Quant does it even better though.
@homertalk Actually, it only takes 250 kWh to run our Toyota RAV4-EV more than 1000 miles per month…that only takes a solar system of 1.3 kW. Ours is 4.2 kW, so we make enough electric for our three EVs plus all our domestic electric — and we donated $220 in electric to the grid, more than we used.
Great commercial. The only thing they left out is that it can be powered by your rooftop solar system, so that you can drive on power you make yourself, and just sail right by gasoline stations.
Now, just a matter of will they really build it, and will they really sell it without trick or artifice.
NO BOOMERANG “gm slime” LEASES!! If leased, make sure there’s a purchase option.

how affordable ?
It’s about time that a commercial describes the product in fairly good detail, without fanfare rather than some autobabe swooning over the hood.
Thanks Nissan. I’m interested.

Ican see this selling well much better than toyota and there hybrids .
This car will never generate even close the power it needs from roof-top solar panels to run it. Its meant to supplement the climate control system.

WOW TERRIFIC!
It seens the New World Order and the global enslavement agenda are doomed!
WOOOHOOOOOOO!
First was Tesla, then Phoenix, now a dozen companies are building pure electric cars!
Thanks for uploading this.
