The Nissan LEAF offers a truly impressive range for an all-electric car, while providing plenty of performance for city driving, as well as the power you need on the highway.
This video demonstrates the LEAF’s ability to accurately display the remaining miles left on a single charge while being put through its paces in some varied driving around the UK. Starting the day off at a little over 100 miles indicated on a full charge, the LEAF is test driven at different speeds and on different roads. Watch the video to find out how far it got.
To explore the LEAF for yourself, head to Dirito Brothers Nissan of Walnut Creek and schedule a test drive with us. For inquiries, visit our website or call (925) 478-3182 today.

While your car’s new paint is designed to retain its lustre and color for years, there are many outside factors that can come together to damage its finish. If you are able to better understand what can damage your car’s paint, you are better equipped to prevent that damage from happening. Read on to learn about how you can protect your car’s paint job from certain environmental factors.
Factors that Contribute to Paint Damage
The sun is your paint’s worst enemy. You may be familiar with UV rays, or ultraviolet radiation—even if you live in a cloudy region, UVA rays easily penetrate cloud cover and do a number on you car’s coat. These rays can actually enlarge the pores in your car’s paint, allowing them to trap more dirt and debris. Not only does this make you car dirty, but corrosive material can become trapped and begin to eat away at the protective layers of your car’s paint.
And let’s not forget about bird droppings, which are highly acidic and cannot only eat straight through a clear coat, but right through the metal of your car. Lastly, that lovely Oceanside air leaves salt on your car’s skin which, if left untreated, can do some serious damage, especially if it is allowed to get down to sheet metal.
Protecting Your Car’s Paint
One of the greatest things you can do to keep your car’s skin looking good is to wash it regularly. This removes dirt and other deposits from the road, though you should always remove bird droppings as soon as possible. Speak with a representative at your dealership for recommendations on a good car wax that you can use to further bolster the layers of protection. Even with this protection, it is always good to consider parking in a garage or investing in a car cover.
