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.

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

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

Brazil joins a 5-year international mega project to combat plastic pollution on the coast with scientific monitoring, new environmental policies, and integrated actions that promise to reduce waste in strategic coastal cities of the country.

Workers were digging to build a railway in northern Mexico and found beneath their feet a 1,200-year-old village with underground houses, ancient burials, and rock engravings.

The scientists did not expect it, but they found fossils of mysterious species in a cave among volcanic ashes over 1 million years old, revealing an ancient history.

Six 400,000-year-old teeth found in China contained a protein that was believed to exist only in the mysterious Denisovans: the discovery reveals that Homo erectus interbred with this extinct relative and left a genetic trace that still lives in human populations today.

Forget the basic popular car: used sedans like Passat CC, Kia Cerato, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Volvo S60 show that it’s still possible to buy more performance, comfort, and technology for less than many new compacts.

Used Honda Civic: 3 versions of the Japanese sedan with naturally aspirated engines of up to 155 hp, fuel consumption of up to 13.8 km/l, robust automatic transmission, and a reputation for reliable mechanics still dominate the used car market in Brazil.

Toyota Hilux becomes a ‘cargo truck’: automaker declares a new era for the pickup with greater capacity, reinforced chassis, 2.8 turbodiesel engine, raised suspension, 1,525 kg load capacity, and targets Ford Ranger Super Duty, which tows an impressive 4,500 kg.
