Nissan Leaf launched at $88K

[Kt2u]

Read this from a friend's FB posting... $88K and no COE required! Given the current COE climate, would this create an avalanche of orders??

dont need COE meh?

[Kt2u]

No need.... "Companies and organisations applying to take part in the EV test-bed programme do not have to pay vehicular taxes such as the Additional Registration Fees (ARF), Certificate of Entitlement (COE), road tax and excise duty."

[Jamesc]

Its cheap but beware of the hidden cost.

 

The batteries need to be replaced

 

so you need to check out the price

 

before you buy.

The garment had never interested in going green. They only interested to collect more monie

the electric cars are now undergoing a test bed to determine whether it is viable for Singapore..the full report will be out in 2013..

 

btw the electric cars will be subjected to CEVS as well...although we know that electric cars emit ZERO emissions but the electricity used to charge the battery will contribute to emissions thus they will be subjected to CEVS..

My question is where to charge for HDB carpark ??

A full charge will normally take 6-8hrs.

Only those staying in landed property can charged at their house.

Not suitable for Singapore.

There's not enough charging points around sg. Although the leaf can be charged with home outlet I suppose.

 

[GPunto]

In China there are many electric motorcycle on the street, so workers like to tap the company power point to charge their bike for free

How do you know that?

[Anakin]

saw a documentary before on this nissan leaf concept ... the battery pack can be changed over at the 'gas station' :) i thot this is a good idea in that changeover will be fast (of cos have to pay a certain price lah). if there can be a std battery pack (size, power, connectors etc), it will be a convenient feature for future electric cars.

I think it is running with the DEEP CYCLES batt

1pc 6 volt batt of our normal battery size cost at $280 - 350

Just imagine these car required big and high amps to drive the motor
