The largest gathering of electric vehicle owners in Japanese history was a perfect chance to touch base with one of the men leading the push,  Nissan’s s Corporate Vice President of Zero Emissions Hideaki Watanabe.

The Nissan Global Media Center began asking him the aim in bringing the LEAF owners to Oppama.

There is now a way to enjoy the freedom of zero-emission driving without owning an electric vehicle. You can begin and end your journey anywhere in town – and you don't even have to pay for parking.

All this is possible thanks to Twizy Way by Renault, an innovative car-sharing scheme recently inaugurated in the French agglomeration of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. The model is proving so successful that there are already plans to extend it to other areas.

Users can sign up for the scheme online or at a new boutique in the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines train station. Via the internet or a mobile web app, they can then locate and reserve one of the service's 50 Twizy vehicles. Throughout their reservation, parking is free in town, and to return the vehicle, they simply leave it anywhere in the agglomeration, ready for the next user.

Vehicle owners in New York and New Jersey have been struggling to find gasoline since super storm Sandy hit the East Coast.  But people with fully electric vehicles like the Nissan LEAF are having an easier time charging up and getting to where they need to go.

After Sandy, millions in New York and New Jersey were affected.  Offices, homes and subways flooded. Trees tore through structures, and even now with much of the electrical power restored and debris removed, it is not easy to get gas.  Long lines at filling stations are forming all across the area.  Even at two in the morning, vehicles are backed up for miles.
