Electric cars get a closer look in Japan after nuclear crisis

With the country steeped in power-saving mode, energy generation has become all the rage among Japanese automakers.


Nissan Motor Co on Monday unveiled a new charging system that gets electricity from solar power that can also be stored in the lithium-ion batteries used in its Leaf electric car.


The 488 newly installed solar panels at Nissan's global headquarters will produce enough electricity to charge 1,800 Leafs a year, allowing drivers plugging into one of its seven charging spots to travel on carbon-free energy.
