Nissan develops cheaper, smaller charger for EVs

The basic model of the revamped charger will cost about half the price of the current model. Nissan has developed a charger for electric vehicles that s smaller, about half the price, and easier to install.Nissan Motor Co., Japan s No. 2 automaker, said the new charger will go on sale in November
in Japan and is planned later for the U.S. and Europe, although dates are not set. The basic model of the revamped charger will cost about half the price of the current model, which is stockier and has more parts, and costs 1.47 million yen ($19,000). The higher-grade model for outdoors will also be cheaper and cost under 1 million yen ($13,000), according to Nissan.
Yokohama-based Nissan, which makes the Leaf electric vehicle, is targeting sales of 5,000 of the new chargers in Japan by the end of March 2016. Zero-emission electric vehicles are drawing attention amid concerns about global warming and the environment. The Leaf is among the pioneering models in the technology.
But electric vehicles still make up a niche market. They have to be recharged, and recharging stations aren t that plentiful. Owners generally have to go through the trouble of installing a recharger in their homes. Right now, Leafs are being sold to mostly local governments rather than regular consumers.
The difficulty of installing chargers, which look like the filling machines at gas stations, is another reason. Nissan is hoping to sell the new chargers to highways, airports, shopping centers, convenience stores and gas stations, it said. Nissan has sold more than 13,600 Leaf cars around the world since they went on sale in December 2010. There are now 619 chargers throughout Japan, 32 percent, or 196, in the Nissan group, while the rest are with local governments, highways and other companies that promote EVs.
Competition in electric vehicles is likely to intensify in coming years as others, such as Japanese rival Toyota Motor Corp., enter the sector.
Toyota already offers plug-in hybrid cars, which run partly as EVs but switch to become regular hybrids with gas engines when they run out of the electric charge.
Armanti Edwards Panthers Nfl Draft 2010
Armanti Edwards Frederico eighth born March 1988 in Greenwood, South Carolina became the starting quarterback for Appalachian State Mountaineers football team from 2006-09. After a great college career, he was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
In September 2006, Freddie Edwards convicted of a 2005 murder and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Armanti Edwards was just rece santly prepared by the Carolina Panthers, looking to aspire to. His former coach at Appalachian State shall also have the same comments about him, and they are also convinced that the abilities of the player. Hurney thinks he is such a good player that will be transformed into pure gold for training throughout the year.
He is convinced that when they think about his decision next year they will not regret it. Although he played football as a quarterback, and has also won two national titles and two Walter Payton Award ever they want to see him as a receiver and a return.
“I think we are talking about a guy who has 60 passing and rushing touchdowns and a total of 15,000 meters. How can you not think this guy is a threat and can make a difference for the Panthers’ team. Edwards lined up at quarterback with Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams. Do not forget also Steve Smith and Dwayne Jarrett as receivers there. Edwards has a powerful arm, he has speed and is a prototype.
Donald Butler Approaches National Football Draft
Donald Butler is a two-year start, which had an outstanding senior season. Butler has good size and strength, but lacks great speed. He is a solid athlete with decent foot agility, balance and speed short range to close the open field. Butler must be more physical contact, but is a solid hitter between tackles.
In exchange for the 79th overall pick, traded the Chargers Arizona Cardinals at the 91st overall pick, the one hundred and seventy third pick, a fourth round pick in 2011, when his senior season at Washington in time, Butler considered the best late-round pick of a person seeking a player who has played more Linebacker positions. when he is said to be one of the main leaders of the American Christian Assembly, a social conservative group led by prominent Christian Right Reverend.
Butler needs a season or two to adjust to the NFL style of play, but at 245 pounds is a large organization that could help immediately on special teams. Representatives from 23 teams attended, including Baltimore Ravens linebackers coach Dean peas, Brown’s director of pro personnel Keith Gilbertson and the Seahawks linebackers coach Ken Norton. He is inconsistent to deter and throw blocks in the stack.
The Chiefs need better play inside Linebacker than they received last year from Demorrio Williams and Corey Mays. Maybe Derrick Johnson can deliver it this year. Butler has size, strength, instincts, strength and flexibility to contribute on special teams and add valuable depth to a club in his rookie season. San Diego Chargers trade up in the third round to select Linebacker Donald Butler of the University of Washington.
