Passport Nissan

In 1969, one man came up with a vision to dedicate one day out of each year solely to raising awareness and education of the earth's natural environment. Fast forward forty-three years and we're still celebrating what's now widely accepted as Earth Day.

Nissan is aiming to revolutionize the automotive market with the release of their first ever all-electric vehicle. The Nissan LEAF is already available here at Passport Nissan, but soon it could be at dealership lots around both the country and the world.

This move could happen as soon as within the next few years, which would make the LEAF the world's first globally accessible electric vehicle. Nissan isn't just aiming big with LEAF…

The release of the Nissan LEAF marked an important milestone for our favorite Japanese automaker, and one that others are still trying to achieve. In creating the LEAF, however, Nissan has forgotten to diversify their lineup with models other than pure electrics, which is something that they're actively working to change.

In fact, new reports are indicating that Nissan could have a plug-in hybrid variant of the already popular Nissan Versa in the works…

Nissan's green ventures start with the LEAF, but if you think that's where they end, then you're wrong. We here at Passport Nissan are happy to say that ever-popular Japanese automaker aims to develop a zero-emission global community of cars, and the Nissan LEAF is only the beginning of things to come.

Nissan realizes that the concept of a zero-emission society might seem a bit abstract and incomprehensible to some. But, that…

Nissan is expanding the reach of their green initiatives from vehicles, right into the homes they're parked in. Earlier this month, Nissan announced a partnership with City Ventures to pre-wire 190 houses in California, and we here at Passport Nissan couldn't be more thrilled for what this means for the world of zero-emissions driving.

Of course, we realize that we should clarify what they are pre-wiring houses for. Specifically, Nissan and City Ventures…

To promote electromobility, the European Commission has just launched a four-year initiative called Green eMotion. Nissan Renault is among the many partners involved in the initiative.

According to Siim Kallas, Vice President of the European Commission and Commissioner responsible for Transport, "Electromobility will make an important contribution toward reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Green eMotion is intended to ensure fast-track success of electric vehicles."¹

For Nissan, stakes in the initiative are particularly high. They're…

Further proving their commitment to electric vehicles, Nissan has proposed a plan to build its first-ever solar-powered car-charging station at its Nissan Americas headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee. If approved by city officials, such an endeavor would be a significant advancement over the current electric charging stations currently housed at the headquarters.

Compared to Nissan's current charging stations, which rely solely on power from the national grid electric, the proposed 300-foot facility would use solar…

There's a mad rush of vehicles frantically trying to hop onto the hybrid bandwagon. The Nissan Altima, however, is one car that has been riding along in this market for years now - four to be exact. Each year, Nissan has perfected the look, performance, and comfort. Here's what the current model year has in store.

Online gaming and sites like Foursquare are blowing up - allowing users to have "bragging rights" over how many times they play a game, check into a restaurant, or how much they can use Twitter while driving (not that we condone texting as you drive - in fact we're pretty much against that practice).Nissan Leaf, which hopes to be the best selling all-electric vehicle on the roads of America, is getting into the gaming world…
