Nissan, Staten Island news: LEAF batteries to power homes

In-home charger will be adapted to allow for more use

Jersey City, NJ (prHWY.com) August 25, 2011 - When Nissan released their first all-electric vehicle, the LEAF, it was a major step forward for green driving and technology. Now your friends at Hudson Nissan, Staten Island drivers' favorite source for high quality and fuel efficient vehicles, is proud to announce that the LEAF and its charging station will soon help owners in even more ways.

Currently, the LEAF and its lithium ion batteries are charged though an in-home charging station. In the future, this charging station will be able to be used in other ways as well. Nissan recently unveiled the 'Nissan LEAF to Home system,' which uses the LEAF charging station to draw from the car's lithium ion batteries and feed current into a home's electricity distribution panel.

Advantages of the system are that it could help users avoid having to mobilize a generator during a blackout. The new system could also allow the charging of a battery at night and then allow for the drawing on it during peak times to save consumers money.

Nissan plans to commercialize the system in Japan within a year. They also plan to make the two-way charging system available to LEAF owners in other countries after it's been adapted to local electricity systems.
