The Nissan Leaf turned up at the Beijing Auto Show this week and brought with it a Chinese name of 聆风 (Ling Feng) and a taste of the future.

Thankfully on Friday morning Carlos Ghosn himself was on hand to explain to the assembled media which were made up of local and foreign representatives alike. The Nissan Leaf is capable of traveling 160km on its own battery power, but can be charged up on home electrics, however this takes up to 8 hours, where as at a quick charging station it only needs 30 minutes to reach 80% fully charged, but after a 10 minute charge it can travel 50km no problem.

The Leaf will be imported into China, however it will be wise to remember that the Leaf will cost around $25,00USD in the USA when launched later this year. The Chinese market leaf will be priced at somewhere in the region of $30,00USD once import taxation has been added, however government subsides of upto 150,000 RMB will be available for new energy cars, which might make the Leaf attractive to some.
