Nissan Releases New E-Pedal For More Efficient Regenerative Braking

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Electric cars are slowly becoming more mainstream thanks to their better integration with autonomous systems and zero emissions. The Nissan Leaf has already debuted an integrated self-driving feature along with many other new advancements. Recently, Nissan announced an upgraded regenerative braking system known as the e-Pedal which only requires a single pedal. Stop by your local Monterey car dealership, Cardinale Nissan, to learn more about this advanced power saving technique.

–

What Is Regenerative Braking?

By making use of your car’s movement and kinetic energy, regenerative braking can store power for later use. Typical braking systems make no use of your car’s momentum, and are actively fighting against it when you try to come to a stop. Regenerative braking model harness, the kinetic energy and either store it for later use or make use of it almost immediately for some other purpose. Not only does this extend the vehicle’s range, it also causes less wear and tear on the brakes.

–

One Pedal System

In order to use regenerative braking, Nissan drivers only need to flick a switch and activate the new e-Pedal. Acceleration is achieved as usual by depressing the pedal, and the car decelerates when you let the pedal raise up again. This allows the vehicle to easily come to a full stop even on a steep hill, and instantly begin moving again when you are ready.

The 2018 Leaf and the e-Pedal will be available soon for test drives at Cardinale Nissan. We are also offering a variety of summer sales on new and used cars like the Nissan Altima, so visit www.cardinalenissan.com to find all our latest deals.

Nissan Announces Plans For New Ride-Sharing And Taxi Service

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Along with making driving easier, autonomous car systems play a major part in reimagining the taxi and ride-sharing industry in Monterey. Many services such as Uber and Lyft are only just a tap on a smartphone away, but both depend on people to do the driving. A self-driving taxi would never need to take breaks and ultimately would be more efficient and cheaper. Nissan recently announced the autonomous Nissan Leaf, which will soon be available at Cardinale Nissan in Seaside, as well as a new venture into the ride-sharing industry using their latest self-driving cars.

–

Implementation

The biggest question when considering any new proposal is how it will be implemented. A standard taxi or pick up service will almost certainly be present in order to transport people around the city. Nissan is also considering a bus-like system, which would include a whole fleet of autonomous cars moving along a designated route and picking up passengers at specific stops. This would allow people who don’t have the money for or simply don’t travel enough to warrant a car to have another source of reliable transportation.

–

Affordability

Vehicles from Cardinale Nissan such as a used Nissan Sentra are already affordable and easy to finance, but access to more transportation methods is always beneficial. Because autonomous cars need no driver and could easily pick up many passengers, Nissan’s taxi service will do more for less. And thanks to the electric motors in autonomous cars, they won’t need to stop for gas and will emit no pollutants.

You can test drive the self-driving experience soon at a Monterey car dealership like #CardinaleNissan in Seaside with the release of the 2018 Nissan Leaf. To explore its many features, including an electric engine with a range of over 200 miles, visit www.cardinalenissan.com.

Thanks to the success of the 2017 Nissan Leaf and the rumors of self-driving capabilities, the 2018 Nissan Leaf is highly anticipated among car reviewers. Nissan has already released a teaser featuring limited shots of the new design, but recently the test version of the car was photographed during a live test drive. Here are a few things to know about the new Leaf before it arrives at Cardinale Nissan.

The 2018 Leaf will have a massively improved range, almost doubling the effective range to over 200 miles. Along with the added convenience, this makes longer journeys more manageable. To also aid with recharging, Nissan has constructed thousands of stations around the country which new Leaf owners can use for free for two years as part of the No Charge To Charge program.

It would be great to not have to go through this process, so what would your answer be if a stranger paid for your gas, then told you to go buy an electric car from a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan?

During this period the Nissan Leaf outsold the competition by far, including big brands like Tesla and Chevy. The race wasn’t even close, with the Leaf beating the next highest seller by 8,000 units. Looking forward, the Leaf is expected to perform even better with the release of the redesigned and more efficient 2017 Nissan Leaf.

The Nissan Leaf Works To Save Lives In Dire Situations

By
Posted in Uncategorized

Electric cars have several economic and environmental benefits thanks to not running on gasoline. This translates into the release of no greenhouse gases, fewer pollutants and no trips to the gas station. Electric cars are also quieter and are better integrated into your car’s automatic safety systems. What you may not have heard though is that electric cars can save lives in a disaster, and through Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility Initiative, the electric Leaf is more affordable than ever. It’s just one more reason why your next car should be a Leaf from Cardinale Nissan.

 

A disaster can occur almost anytime and anywhere around the world, and they often cut people off from power or supplies. This can leave families stranded and unable to access essential resources. Most other cars would be useless in a disaster like a flood, but the #Leaf provides power in a similar manner to a generator. This can provide the necessary electricity to charge a phone or a microwave in order to cook food.

 

Rescue crews can take some time to come to the aid of trapped victims, so it’s important to have a reliable source of power in the meantime. Thanks to the Leaf’s advanced battery, charging other devices consumes only a little of the stored energy, so once the roads are clear you and your family can drive safely to a different area. Nissan concluded that the Leaf, “can be recharged to work as mobile power sources, avoiding gridlock at gas stations and extending an essential lifeline to isolated areas.”

 

Whether you get stuck at home due to a flood or are simply navigating city traffic, a Nissan Leaf from a Monterey auto dealer like Cardinale Nissan will always be there for you. Come down and check out our inventory of new and used models like the Nissan Altima, or visit us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.

Check Out Nissan’s Latest Direct To Grid Electric Car System

By

Nissan Kicks Concept Reveal

Nissan has always been an industry leader in electric car technology. From releasing the first economic electric car to designing the first battery that can propel an electric car for over 100 miles, Nissan is always pushing the boundaries of technology. The company’s latest experiment has been more focused on creating efficient and emission free solutions for business, including a brand new fleet of test cars at their research facility in the United Kingdom.

 

At the Nissan Technical Centre Europe, Nissan is working on a new direct to grid integration system for its electric cars. This small project consists of eight company vehicles that are always charging. When an employee needs to travel for whatever reason, they are able to use these electric cars to get to their destination and back. The range on the cars is ideal for short trips into town or to meetings that employees are headed to, and being electric cars they produce no harmful emissions. Additionally, this system ensures the cars are always charged and ready to use, unlike a gas powered car which will need to be refueled after a couple of trips.

 

The most critical part of this system is its direct grid integration. Because of this, they can both receive electricity as well as give it back in times of greater stress. These cars essentially act as extra electrical storage for the entire grid, while still operating like a normal car whenever necessary. Vice President for Vehicle Design and Development David Moss added, “it gives us the opportunity to showcase to the world how the energy management systems Nissan is developing can work in a real-life business situation.”

 

Electric cars are rapidly becoming the way of the future, so head down to Cardinale Nissan for a look at the Nissan Leaf. We also have a great selection of the newest Nissan models, and you can find us online at www.cardinalenissan.com.
