In an effort to make EVs easier to adopt, Nissan has partnered with BMW to build out the U.S. electric infrastructure. The two automakers have covered 19 states thus far, installing over 120 chargers to-date. These DC Fast Chargers can refuel a battery to 80% capacity in under 30 minutes. Even more exciting is that these DC Fast Chargers aren’t OEM-specific. Meaning that you can charge your Nissan LEAF or BMW i3, but also other brands of EVs. The only requirement is that the car supports one of the two connections built into each charger (CHAdeMO or CCS). Nissan’s EZ-Charge cards also work with the new stations, providing even more ease and convenience. Nissan leads a growing number of automakers who recognize that the “electrification” of our vehicles is not just a trend, but an inevitability that requires a significant supporting infrastructure. If you haven’t yet driven the award-winning 2016 Nissan LEAF, what are you waiting for? Stop by Cardinale Nissan in Seaside today, and join those in the know. When it comes to the best value in MPGe, we’ve got you covered.

LEAF Outsells Model S by 2 to 1

Cardinale Nissan 2_LeafvsTesla

Despite Tesla’s strong year-to-date sales, the Model S still hasn’t caught up to the Nissan LEAF. Sales of the LEAF are around 200,000 worldwide – twice as many as the Chevy Volt, and outpacing the 60,000 US buyers of Tesla’s flagship EV. The all-new LEAF will hit dealer showrooms very soon, and the Tesla Model X impacting Model S popularity, it’s not hard to understand that sales of the LEAF may very well eclipse that of Tesla’s Model S. Another factor contributing to stronger sales of the LEAF than the luxury Model S EV is the price tag. The Model S typically sells for more than $100,000, while the LEAF is far more accessible to the masses, at just a fraction of that cost. Stop by Cardinale Nissan in Seaside today, and test drive the 2016 LEAF. Be sure to ask about year-end specials, and get excited! The LEAF is one of the most acclaimed EVs in its class, at a price that is truly attainable.

Nissan LEAF Gets “Vehicle 2 Grid” Tech

By

Cardinale Nissan 1_V2G

Get excited! Nissan has come up with a way to use the multi-kWh battery in its LEAF electric vehicle as a mobile power plant for homes, offices, or for returning energy to the grid. Similar to Tesla’s Powerwall, Nissan’s “Vehicle 2 Grid” (V2G) technology could save you money by powering your home during peak hours. At night, you could then charge the LEAF’s battery, leveraging the lower energy prices during off-peak timeframes. What’s more, by sending excess power back to the grid, you could even receive a discount on energy bills. Initially, V2G would ideally be complemented by a renewable energy source like solar. In a partnership with energy company ENEL, Nissan’s V2G charger runs around $900 – significantly less than Tesla’s Powerwall system, which will cost you a whopping $3,000. The V2G system launches in Denmark, followed by pilot programs in Germany, Netherlands and other northern European regions. To receive updates, or to test drive the LEAF, visit Cardinale Nissan in Seaside. During the month of December, we are selling every new car at invoice. That’s correct – not “$X over invoice”, but AT INVOICE, or in some cases, even less. Stop by today, and get excited! There has never been a better time to buy your new Nissan.

Cardinale Nissan 1 charging station

Nissan’s free electric vehicle charging program, “No Charge to Charge”, expands to the Twin Cities. Previously, the markets covered included Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Salt Lake City and Austin. The program, which is limited to public (not home) charging, offers two free years of charging for anyone who buys a new Nissan LEAF. It works like this: buy a new LEAF, receive a card that grants access to multiple charging networks. It’s easy to get a 30-minute DC fast charge, or a one-hour Level 2 charge; enough time to go from 0-80%. The EZ-Charge cards are created by NRG eVgo. The card can be used at four charging station brands: ChargePoint, Blink Network/Car Charging Group, NRG eVgo, and AeroVironment. If that’s not reason to Get Excited, we don’t know what is! Stop by Cardinale Nissan today in Seaside, and get ready to turn over a new LEAF, with some great year-end lease options.

CEO Says Nissan’s Electric Cars Are for the Masses

If you ask Carlos Ghosn, CEO of The Renault Nissan Alliance, bringing electric cars to the masses is their focus. You won’t see Nissan “going niche” to compete with Tesla in the luxury electric vehicle segment. That said, any specialization with electric cars will be in the crossover category, according to Ghosn. CUVs are currently experiencing a boom in the U.S., Europe and China. More immediate focus is on rolling out the next-generation LEAF, expected in 2017 or 2018. Nissan’s only electric car in the U.S., the LEAF is reported to receive a significant battery upgrade, as well as body redesign, in the coming model years. With MSRP starting under $30k, the Nissan LEAF is certainly more attainable for the masses than some of its luxury competitors. If you’d like to learn more about the automaker’s roadmap for electric vehicles, drop by Cardinale Nissan in Seaside today. Go green and get excited!
