Nissan offers several SUVs, but Armada is the largest and somewhat most spectacular. Last week I test-drove the 2020 Nissan Armada Platinum Reserve 4WD Auto and was impressed by its old, non-renewed mechanism that remains reliable. Yet, the V8 engine of Armada consumes a lot of gas.

Last week I was reviewing the 2019 Nissan Leaf PLUS SL trim. Here are my pros, cons and the bottom line. The 2019 Nissan Leaf PLUS SL trim has a long EV range. It has a great infotainment system operable with a touchscreen. It has a spacious interior and provides a comfortable drive. Plus, it also has an over-the-air update.

Last week we at Torque News got our hands at the 2019 Nissan Leaf PLUS and have been enjoying the test-drive. One of the things that people were asking us was how the new Leaf PLUS compares to Tesla Model 3, Hyunday Kona and other popular electric cars in terms of price and range. I decided to tackle those questions in this story.

Overall across the globe, EV sales are up, and the future looks bright. But in the U.S. recent changes in national fuel economy and smog requirements have caused EV sales to drop here. Tesla seems to be the only U.S. automaker who is not holding back, and their growing sales numbers show that many buyers want EVs.

EDIT 5/27/19- Fiat Chrysler submits formal merger proposals to both boards of directors of FCA and Renault in a 50/50 acquisition. Both companies want to consolidate. The fact is that they really can benefit from each other, so as long as it isn’t about another LeCar econobox or Alliance compact!

Public charging, replacing, and upgrading an ion battery to a BEV apparently got a little easier and maybe even cheaper to do when two startups recently announced they inked a deal to combine their services onto one menu. Fenix Power and ChargeShare, two young companies worth keeping an eye on, are looking to make BEV ownership easier, cheaper, more accessible, and convenient, and believe they’ve found a way to bridge both the new sales and after market parts arenas in the BEV industry.
