The Consumer Electronic Show is an annual event that takes places in the early part of the year; for 2017 this happened to be in the first week of January. This wonderful event gives companies an opportunity to show off some of the coolest and most fun gadgets that will find their ways to shelves during the year.  Some car companies, also made the trek to the Las Vegas stage, including Nissan, who revealed the latest plans for redesigning their electric car, the Nissan Leaf.

 

In order to compete against the new Chevy Bolt EV and the Tesla Model 3, Nissan has invested countless hours into perfecting their own long-range electric car. The new Leaf is a part of Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility project, which is working on developing new and better electric cars and autonomous cars. It’s all but certain that these two forms of transportation will be the face of driving within the next couple of years, so Nissan is working to get a head start in the competition. The Nissan Leaf already was one of the most affordable and longest range electric cars on the market, and these latest changes only add even more.

 

Along with displaying a prototype that featured all the new updates, Nissan mentioned that it will have several new features. The range will be boosted to around 200 miles, a substantial leap from previous versions. It will also include better handling and more intuitive regenerative braking so even new drivers will be able to operate an electric car with ease.  Nissan is also planning on adding #ProPILOT technology in the near future that will self-drive the car on single-lane highways.
