Concept explainers
The Nissan Leaf is an all-electric car powered by a 107-hp electric motor and a lithium-ion battery that stores 24 kWh and produces 394 V at its terminals when fully charged. The Leaf’s battery can charge at the rate of 3.3 kW from a standard 120-V power outlet, at 6.6 kW from a 240-V outlet, and at 44 kW using a special 480-V charger. The Leaf’s fuel economy is 3.38 miles per kWh, the equivalent of 114 miles per gallon in a gasoline-powered car. Find (a) the range of the Leaf, assuming the battery can be fully depleted, (b) the charging time for each mode, and (c) the current delivered by the fully charged battery when the motor is operating at full power.
