Nissan LEAF owners love their LEAFs. I know through experience that this is true. How nice it is that due to the efforts of Nissan innovators, the 2018 Nissan LEAF is now recognized and awarded internationally just like its original incarnation was. What am I talking about? As indicated in the title, Nissan reports that the new Nissan LEAF has taken top honours at the 2018 CES (Consumer Electronics Show).
Our EV charging conference last week delayed my monthly US electric car sales report, but the day has arrived.
Naturally, Tesla Model 3 bottlenecks are a bummer, so my Model 3 estimate* is moderate. Meanwhile, estimates for the Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X put these vehicles at #2 and #3. And the car that really stole the show in October was the Chevy Bolt.
The Siemens eHighway heavy-duty truck project continues in California, as the company has revealed a mile-long stretch in the port of Los Angeles and Long Beach for testing purposes.
Seven concepts — fungibility, ubiquity, loose coupling, electronics outperforming the physical, human nature, economics and the future already being here — make it clear that the future is electric.
We published 509 articles in October. It’s rather hard to read every single one — I’m not sure if anyone does, but I can tell you that I don’t have time for that and I’m the director and chief editor of the site!

Recently, I conducted an interview with Daniele Schillaci, Nissan’s EVP of Global Sales & Marketing, for CleanTechnica. Danielle reveals a little more about the new 2018 Nissan LEAF and its different design.
The CEO of Waymo told the press this week his company is about to begin a self-driving taxi service in Chandler, Arizona, in the very near future using autonomous Chrysler Pacifica minivans.
A few years back, I met Kitty Adams and got introduced to her incredible idea, Adopt A Charger. Ever since, the business model has matured and is now reaching across the US and now Europe.
We live in a world reliant on cell phone apps and beyond, losing a cell phone now is like losing a part of your mind (a helpful functioning part and the overly plugged in part). Data and data processing become king. All those small apps link to something — perhaps to mysterious and intricate quantum computers.
If you grew up in the 1980s, you might have fond memories of the Ferrari 308 that Tom Selleck drove in the Magnum P.I. series. And if you also grew up with that generation, you’ve probably also lusted after one. Would you scream sacrilege if one were converted to electricity?
