The future of driving has arrived in Seattle, Washington, with the availability of the 2018 Nissan Leaf. This next-generation all-electric vehicle incorporates e-Pedal, which is a revolutionary innovation that transforms the way we drive.
Â
With the flip of a switch, the technology turns the accelerator into an e-Pedal, allowing motorists to accelerate, decelerate and stop – all-in-one. Drivers can even come to a complete stop on hills, holding their position until they are ready to resume their course. Available as standard equipment on all 2018 Leaf EVs, e-Pedal promises to take care of 90% of drivers’ needs, making the on-road experience much more engaging, exciting and comfortable, especially in heavy traffic.
