Cities all over Europe will be invited to embrace electric driving and encourage their communities to support Nissan’s campaign – ‘The Big Turn On’ – in a bid to win 30 quick chargers from Nissan.
The quick chargers are part of a wider initiative from Nissan to get one million consumers switched onto electric driving, in just 100 days. The basis of ‘The Big Turn On’ campaign is to engage the public and support their cities’ bid to win a new electric driving infrastructure from Nissan.
These chargers improve the speed of charging electric cars and help improve the infrastructure for a new zero-emissions future. A quick charger, which complies with the international CHAdeMO standard, can recharge an empty battery to 80 per cent capacity in just 30 minutes, as opposed to the standard charger type, which takes approximately eight hours.

Watch this fail video as one after another, multiple drivers tried to make it around the city of Portland, Oregon. Snow on top of ice caused extremely slick roads, which brought about very hazardous conditions. There were approximately 30 vehicles involved in these crashes from driving in the snow with no injuries. If your still bored, check out/add my profile/videos if you like 'fails' or are into that sort of thing.
The race is on to get Lewis and Heikki's cars to the Italian Grand Prix in Monza -at a maximum speed of just 56 mph - aboard the team's Mercedes Transporter, driven by Hugh and Roy.
Hot stunts with rally cars let almost melt down the snow at the event "Dakar on snow" in
Flachau last weekend. In a clip we have put together the best pictures of the spectaculous Touareg-jump show.
More states are allowing a relatively new breed of vehicle on public roads, but crash tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show why the mix of low-speed vehicles (LSVs) or minitrucks and regular traffic is a deadly combination. LSVs are designed for tooling around residential neighborhoods, and minitrucks are for hauling cargo off-road. While these vehicles have a lot of appeal as a way to reduce emissions and cut fuel use, they don't have to meet the basic safety standards that cars and pickups do, and they aren't designed to protect their occupants in crashes.
why do people love Classic Mini cooper so much? Hung and other members had established Hong Kong Mini cooper fan club since 1993. The mission of the club is to share their experience in Min Driving as well as in perserving and collecting Minis.http://www.so-u.tv
