Nissan Unveils First Design for Its EV Platform: The Leaf

We were worried that we’d see Nissan unveil another Prius-like design for its 2010 EV Platform sedan but the soon-to-be-release Leaf has a better look than your average electric car, though nowhere nearly as interesting as GM’s Volt.

This is a smart move for Nissan. The design will be appealing to the average car buyer and should give other manufacturers a run for their money, especially if Nissan’s claims of the model being “affordable” are true.

Also smart is Nissan’s claim that the car will achieve 100 miles on a charge (compare that to the Chevy Volt’s current claim of about 40 miles).
