WSJ ride along in the Nissan Leaf (w/Video)



The Wall Street Journal had the opportunity to pilot the Leaf around Nissan's Oppama facility in Japan and shot the whole ordeal so you can experience what it's like to ride in a production Leaf. The brief video gives you a feel for the car and the electric experience that comes along with it.

The video captures the near-silent acceleration, gives you a peak under the hood and a glance at the Leaf's futuristic interior. Unfortunately, the WSJ reporter doesn't have anything interesting to say, just the usual ignorant negative EV comments about range bla bla bla so if you want to avoid having to listen closely to decipher the heavy accent, you're not missing much.
