NISSAN AND NICHICON PARTNER TO LAUNCH LEAF-TO-HOME POWER SUPPLY

摘要

Japanese automeker Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has announced the launch of the LEAF-to-Home power supply system, which can supply electricity from batteries onboard the Nissan LEAF electric vehicle (EV) to homes when used with the EV Power Station unit developed by Nichicon Corporation. LEAF-to-Home is an industry first backup power supply system. Nichicon, an innovator in power supply systems, is providing the technology to move the electricity from the vehicle into home. Its EV Power Station units enable electricity stored in high capacity lithium ion batteries onboard a LEAF to be sent to an ordinary home by connecting the car to the home's electricity distribution panel with a connector linked to the LEAF'S quick charging port.
