Its cutting-edge technology ensures that the B-Class Electric Drive is not only sustainable (because it offers local emission-free driving) and agile (because of its high torque and acceleration), but also fully networked.

The battery powers a high-response 80kW AC synchronous motor, rated at 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque, which drives the front wheels through a single speed reducer.

ENGADGET: Nissan starts US production of 2013 Leaf, vows faster charging and a lower entry price

The electric motor produces 107 horsepower and 201 foot-pounds of torque--more than enough oomph to merge safely and smoothly onto Detroit's notoriously high-speed freeways.

FORBES: Fueling Hope

Its two high-speed electric motors operate as one but can act independently (and incidentally, by using reverse torque instead of friction for braking, the motors convert the energy of your motion to help replenish the battery).
