1. About The Nissan LEAF®
This
vehicle uses two types of batteries. One is a 12-volt battery that is the same as the battery in vehicles
powered by internal combustion engines, and the other is the high voltage battery for the traction motor
which propels the vehicle. The high voltage battery is encased in steel and mounted underneath the vehicle.
The vehicle must be plugged-in in order for the high voltage battery to be recharged. Additionally, the
vehicle system can recharge the high voltage battery by converting driving force into electricity while the
vehicle is decelerating or being driven downhill. This is called regenerative charging. This vehicle is
considered to be an environmentally friendly vehicle because it does not emit exhaust gases.
