NISSAN PRESENTS
100 DAYS

TRYING TO TURN YOU ON TO 100% ELECTRIC DRIVING
WITH NISSAN LEAF
Hi, I'm Vincent.
On my blog, vinz.com, I talk about things
that excite me: cars, travel, and books.
Today it's the Big Turn On challenge for the Nissan Leaf.
Fact – 175 kilometres, the range of Nissan Leaf
Challenge – use them to take a very special city tour
So, the best of Paris.
We'll see the great monuments, go up high,
check out the centre too.
We'll find some nice things to do.
It's like being in a spaceship.
Not what I'm used to.
It's surprising, in a good way.
We're off.
House - 10km - Ile St Louis
My challenge is to go round my city
and bring back a souvenir from each place.
Now for Ile de la Cité, to see Notre-Dame.
Ile St Louis - 3km - Ile de la cité
I've been monitoring the battery.
I keep hammering it
but it's barely dropped.
A magnificent cathedral:
Notre-Dame.
The heart of Paris.
We'll check out a lovely district:
Saint-Germain des Prés.
We did it! We're good.
We've found Gérard Mulot, a well known pastry chef
in the district.
The range is good. We've driven around a lot.
The battery's still charged.
I was wondering about the car's responsiveness.
It seems very responsive, it brakes well, you feel safe.
For now, everything is positive.
I'm pleasantly surprised.
So how about we go...
to the Eiffel Tower.
Arc de Triomphe - 8km - Eiffel Tower
Eiffel Tower - 12km - Montmartre
Montmartre, Sacré-Cœur, is a landmark,
it was an obvious choice.
We'll pick up a souvenir.
The challenge was to tour the city.
Paris is pretty spread out.
I was wondering if we'd have enough range.
I've driven around a lot but it's no problem,
it can go another 100km.
We've done at least 60 today,
so that is close to the 175km figure
claimed by Nissan. Sorry,
I'll have to get back now...
