Car Nissan Leaf is the best-selling electric car. Over 7 years of production in different parts of the world, more than 280 thousand copies were sold. Not so long ago, the creators of the popular novelty decided to improve it, adding the so-called e-Pedal to the control system.

E-Pedal allows the driver to control the car by pressing only the accelerator pedal, that is, in fact, the brake pedal in the updated model can not be used. In this case, if necessary, at any time you can switch to the traditional method of control.

The idea appeared in the process of experiments conducted by Nissan specialists. It turned out that the sharper the car brakes, the more efficient the charging of the batteries. At that moment, the idea arose of abandoning the brake pedal in exchange for the ability to perform movement in the optimal mode.The braking process is always accompanied by the lighting of brake lights, so the vehicles behind the Nissan should not have any difficulty with the movement.

The PR director of Nissan and Datsun in Russia notes the high interest of the representative office in bringing electric vehicles to the Russian market, but the process is fraught with difficulties. For example, the price of a new model definitely cannot be called democratic. Nissan Leaf in Japan now costs about 2 million rubles, and, given the trend of growth in the exchange rate, it is possible that in the coming months the cost of cars will increase significantly.
