Post Nissan pokes fun at Volt, claims 367 mpg equivalent for Leaf EV

08-11-2009 12:29 PM

Filed under: Etc., Marketing/Advertising, Chevrolet, GM, Nissan, Alternative Fuel

Nissan Leaf EV - Click above for high-res image gallery

Not content to let General Motors grab all the shiny happy tree-huggy headlines today with its 230 mpg claim for the Chevy Volt in city operation, the gang manning the NissanEVs Twitter account needled GM's range-extended EV messiah, tweeting:

Nissan Leaf = 367 mpg, no tailpipe, and no gas required. Oh yeah, and it'll be affordable too!

Given that the methodology of how the feds will ultimately arrive at the official mileage numbers (or mileage equivalents) for many of these next-gen greenmobiles is not yet finalized, we'll take all the hype and scoreboard pointing with a grain of salt until we see actual, final numbers posted at FuelEconomy.gov. (Nissan says its 367 mpg figure was derived by using the Department of Energy formula.)

In any case, a Twitter spitball fight between GMBlogs and NissanEVs over this stuff would be kind of entertaining to watch. Sorta like the nerdy opposite of the ZR1 vs. GT-R debate.

from what i was reading in a road and track nissans plan to make it affordable is to lease out the fuel cell battery seeing as how the battery makes up half the cost of the current prius so if it was leased and you bought the car the car would become very affordable.
I would be down, or instead say f it, and bring in the k cars. I think smart cars are dumb, and I see alot of them on the streets and I think that a kei car would do just as well.

nissan please dont make that car ... let GM have their 15 minutes and boost up their economy first before introducing more competition and thus crapping our economy.
