Representing the EV phenomena, the 2011 Nissan Leaf is the first pure electric vehicle to be named a finalist. Powered by an 80-kilowatt synchronous motor that uses a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the Leaf is estimated to get 100 miles per charge. The battery can be charged with a special 220-volt charger in four to eight hours. The five seater midsize hatchback is a zero emissions vehicle that has consumers eager in anticipation of its arrival. In fact, all 20,000 Leafs allotted for the US have all already been reserved.
