Cheaper, stripped down version of Nissan Leaf?

There's too many electronics that I don't want or need such as gps, navigation, power windows, etc. I just want a simple car without all the bells and whistles that will keep the cost of the car and electric consumption low. So anybody thinks that there will be such a model sometime next year or two?

Keep an eye out for Nissan Comercial Launch there may be a small electric delevery car. Totally stripped down. GPS system is necessary to help owners find charging stations and the screen radius gets smaller and smaller as battery charge is used. A feature you will want if you need a Whole Foods Market or Nissan Dealer 30 minute Quick charge to get across town. Web Site for "better place" shows electric Renault versions.

Yes, it is called the Wheego Whip LiFe, available now, unfortunately not much cheaper.

I agree the the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt are overly complex. I don't need to know what the charge in my battery is while I'm in New York and the car is sitting in my garage in LA. What GM and Nissan are not including is that you either have to keep paying On-Star or a cell phone company to keep that connectivity going. Both cars use the cellular phone network's internet services (aka 3G or 4G) and we all know they charge for that. Full featured On-Star is $28.90 a month with a bargain plan for $18.95, you don't pay it stops working.

40 miles is sufficient for my each and every day commute, comparable with maximum individuals. The volt could be mostly electric powered for me. there are cases, working errands and stuff, whilst i could use the gasoline generator, yet i would not ought to apply too lots gasoline. yet that gasoline generator turns into quite reachable once you think of roughly long journeys, which does ensue in many cases sufficient. The Volt could additionally double as an emergency generator for the duration of potential outages or camping out or regardless of. It has large versatility. The Leaf grants a splash extra beneficial cushion with a bigger battery %., in spite of the undeniable fact that it incredibly is nonetheless basically a commuter vehicle. With a Leaf, you nonetheless desire a 2d vehicle for longer journeys. The sequence hybrid is a thank you to choose for me, and for many individuals, until fee cases come down on the battery packs. at that element, optimistically charging retailers that could supply you a speedy fee, would be extensively obtainable. they ought to be, they do no longer seem to be that confusing to make and set up. Then i'm going to make the change. I basically choose GM could supply us extra gasoline suggestions. With one among those versatile platform it may be basic sufficient to grant a diesel version, or possibly a propane version. there is a lot versatility because you do no longer care approximately potential bands or low rpm torque, or crimson strains. You care approximately one style, potential at top performance. it quite is why the engine could be lots extra convenient and final lots longer. they could even supply a flex-gasoline turbine generator. How cool could that be?
