  1. @light4darkness Quote a source saying 100 years, you’ll find a vested interest making the claim! Even BP were busted BS their reserves.

    You’re forgetting major fields like the North Sea are running dry. New reserves must be found as fast as the old wells run out otherwise volume decreases. New reserves off Brazil are in ultradeep water (read: ultra expensive). If those are the only places they’re making new discoveries then oil prices HAVE to rise to justify the expense of drilling for it.

  2. @tsport100
    what about the huge new reserves discovered off Brazil, Uruguay, and west Africa?
    What about replenished wells that had supposedly run dry?
    Officially, just last month I heard a major news network, perhaps PBS, say that there are now certified 100 years worth of reserves, and that we had panicked prematurely about peak oil?

  3. @light4darkness 300 years my arse.

    The Arabs claim most of those reserves yet
    1) they refuse to allow ANYONE to verify it
    2) the numbers NEVER go down despite them continuously pumping out millions of barrels a day for decades.
    3) their reserves miraculously increase in response to OPEC rule adjustments.

    Peak Oil simply means production volume can no longer continue to increase, that has already happened.

    there are enough known resrves at the current usage rate to last for 300 or so years, and as usage will drop due to alternatives, it will last forever. Old “dry” oil fields are replenishing as more oil seeps from the deep. It appears oil is not just dead plants and dynosaurs, but chemicals which naturally make up the earth.
    Coal can be converted to oil, and the US has about 1000 years reserve of that.
    Peak oil is old science. Read the news.

  5. @thembones12 The world may run out of oil in 65 years, BUT, gasoline will become unaffordable in just a few more years…..PEAK OIL
    is here, and there is no way to turn back the clock……People will flock to hybrids, pure electrics as this one, and later to hydrogen fuel cells, which are already running in California……OUR WORLD IS ABOUT TO CHANGE……..

  6. “gazillions” is the price of this car.
    IT’s PRICELESS AT THIS TIME.
    Could be $20k - $28K

    at 100 miles per charge that’s awesome.
    But require 16 hours charge in you home.
    Or 8 hours if you got 220 volts system at home.

    Anyway, electricity is NOT free. It cost 2 1/2 cents per mile for this electric car. Compare that to gasoline=15 cents per mile.

    NOTE: THE WORLD WILL RUN OUT OF OIL IN 65 YEARS FROM NOW!

  7. Nissan will announce pricing in April, but a spokesman says the price will be similar to that of a base-level Toyota Prius hybrid, which starts at $22,800.

  8. what the price?

    Comment by jimprice09 — February 26, 2010 @ 1:43 am

  9. @goku1940, I love what you have to say. I thought I was the only one.

  10. What a shame Honda is not producing one of these.

    Comment by bravecat100 — February 26, 2010 @ 1:43 am

  11. battery breakthrough 2010 is here, its made from carbon fiber by imperial london college. no more lithium batteries.

  12. I REALLY hope they’re not lying about this one

    Comment by imacrazydude9999999 — February 26, 2010 @ 1:43 am

  13. This sounds wonderful, anything to get away from all of these stupid ass Dodge RAM’s and F150’s. With this I’ll be able to charge it from rooftop solar panels and wind turbines. This is the future, it is the death of the ICE engine and the birth of advanced technology. Soon, back yard mechanics will be a thing of the past and only computer techs (like me) will be able to fix cars. Not to mention, there is only going to be a rotor or two and NO transmission, engine, or exhaust to worry about!

  14. Great commercial I hope it wont be too expensive to buy. I really want one.

    Comment by kunghenry — February 26, 2010 @ 1:43 am

  15. Great commercial

    Will the affordable price tag be all inclusive(in cluding the battery) or will there be hidden extras such as monthly battery lease paymments?

    Will the battery system eventually be available from 3rd party manufacturers in a similar fashion to tires(ex: given the specifications are ok you can by tires from any tire manufacturer that meets your needs)

    Comment by Rickdeckard2020 — February 26, 2010 @ 1:43 am

  16. I´m going to buy one =D

    Comment by 4nDr3z40 — February 26, 2010 @ 1:43 am

  17. how affordable ?

    Comment by monstercameron — February 26, 2010 @ 1:43 am

  18. It’s about time that a commercial describes the product in fairly good detail, without fanfare rather than some autobabe swooning over the hood.

    Thanks Nissan. I’m interested.

  19. @homertalk, I know what you meant about the rooftop solar panel on top of the Leaf, but as you can see liveoilfree was talking about their solar panels on the roof of their home. When I talked with a Nissan rep at the Leaf Tour event he said that the Leaf’s future rooftop solar panel was not certain. The Aptera supposedly will use a rooftop panel to power it’s climate control system so I don’t see why Nissan couldn’t do the same thing. The Koenigsegg Quant does it even better though.

  20. @homertalk Actually, it only takes 250 kWh to run our Toyota RAV4-EV more than 1000 miles per month…that only takes a solar system of 1.3 kW. Ours is 4.2 kW, so we make enough electric for our three EVs plus all our domestic electric — and we donated $220 in electric to the grid, more than we used.

    Comment by liveoilfree — February 26, 2010 @ 1:43 am

  21. Ican see this selling well much better than toyota and there hybrids .

    Comment by paulb4uk — February 26, 2010 @ 1:43 am

  22. This car will never generate even close the power it needs from roof-top solar panels to run it. Its meant to supplement the climate control system.

    Comment by homertalk — February 26, 2010 @ 1:43 am

  23. Great commercial. The only thing they left out is that it can be powered by your rooftop solar system, so that you can drive on power you make yourself, and just sail right by gasoline stations.

    Now, just a matter of will they really build it, and will they really sell it without trick or artifice.

    NO BOOMERANG “gm slime” LEASES!! If leased, make sure there’s a purchase option.

    Comment by liveoilfree — February 26, 2010 @ 1:43 am

  24. WOW TERRIFIC!

    It seens the New World Order and the global enslavement agenda are doomed!

    WOOOHOOOOOOO!

    First was Tesla, then Phoenix, now a dozen companies are building pure electric cars!

    Thanks for uploading this.
