To Promote Electric Mobility, Nissan Presented Its Electric Car, Nissan Leaf, Demonstrating Its Ability to Generate Energy for Equipment and Even Homes

Nissan took advantage of the Electric Experience, an event held in the interior of SP with the mission to promote electric mobility, to showcase a bit more of the possible functionalities in an electric car. The company used the Nissan Leaf as a model to demonstrate the bidirectional charging technology. A DJ playing music with his sound equipment amidst a lawn would be a common scene if the equipment were connected to a conventional outlet; however, at the electric mobility event, the music that entertained the audience came from a table that was receiving power directly from a Nissan Leaf.

The Nissan Leaf was present at the event to demonstrate more about its unique bidirectional charging capacity, which allows the electric car to provide energy back to the grid through V2G technology or directly to electrical devices through V2X technology.

Therefore, the Nissan Leaf serves both to store and to generate energy like a mobile battery. The electric mobility technology of the Nissan Leaf can make the grid more sustainable and stable, in addition to contributing to the management of power supply for consumers.

According to Nissan’s marketing director, Humberto Gomez, the bidirectional system is yet another electric mobility feature of the Nissan Leaf, demonstrating once again how the company develops an electric vehicle with a focus on integrating into the new intelligent mobility ecosystem.

In addition to being a fully electric car that is enjoyable to drive, it is a real example of the new experiences the company wants to offer its customers. Nissan’s project for electric mobility was developed alongside Bosch.IO, as well as the Advanced Manufacturing Technologies Institute (IFAM) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (IAO). The electric mobility initiative is also supported by the German Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure.

Electric Car’s Range Is Not Much Affected During Continuous Battery Use

A Bosch software claims that the range and performance of Nissan’s electric car are not significantly affected, as only up to 30% of the Nissan Leaf’s battery capacity is used to provide energy for the home or electronic equipment.

If necessary, it is also possible to prioritize the complete recharge of the vehicle, for instance, before embarking on a longer journey. It is worth noting that the data collected on electricity usage is assessed anonymously. According to Stefan Losch from Fraunhofer IFAM, the data is accurate for making scientific assessments focused on the business models of bidirectional charging and identifying potential user groups.

According to Vicent Ricoux from Nissan Center Europe, the company believes that interest in this technology will continue to grow in the future, especially because more and more people are working from home and there is a huge potential to use renewable energy effectively, reducing emissions in transportation.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.
