LE
Concept Is To Be An All-Aluminum Production Model
The
LE concept, which can travel at least 100 miles (161 km) on
a single charge, has all-aluminum body panels that will
translate over to the production model. The LE concept has a
synchronous electric motor that produces 134 hp and 240
lb.-ft. (325 Nm) of torque. The lithium-ion battery pack is
rated at 24 kWh, the same as in the Leaf. The Infiniti EV
will be an all-new sedan but will draw upon the Leaf's
battery technology.
The Infiniti EV will be the first electric vehicle with inductive-charging capabilities, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn says. The wireless charging takes place as the EV is parked over an electrified surface. The LE concept uses a "coil safely encased on the garage floor," Infiniti says, adding the high-frequency AC 3.3-kW charging can be controlled via a smartphone. Although all production Infiniti EVs will have inductive-charging capability, whether the technology will be offered in every country where the car is sold "depends on government regulations," Palmer says. "It's executable in some countries but not in others." Stylistically, the concept will be similar to the production model, although the grilles will be somewhat different, Palmer says. A crescent-cut rear pillar and Infiniti's signature double-arch grille are present on the concept. The LE concept’s interior has both digital and analog displays. The center cluster houses a twin display using an Intel Atom processor. As with some other Infiniti models, the car’s aesthetics were inspired by Japanese history, with the seat and door trim derived from the "Eriashi" or collar of a kimono. Violet accents are used in the seats' suede-and-mesh fabric, while seat sides are swathed in semi-aniline leather.

LE Concept Update
Information from Ward Automotive and Bradshaw Infiniti |
Here
are the Highlights:
Population:
400,492
Growth (2000-2010): 32.5%
Once
known for textile manufacturing, Greenville has become an
international powerhouse, hosting companies from all parts
of the globe. Greenville, along with Spartanburg, Anderson
and other nearby towns known as "The Upstate,"
boast more than 250 international firms, including BMW
(Germany), Michelin (France), GlaxoSmithKline (United
Kingdom) and Kyocera (Japan).
International
flavor is derived from our textile past. People have
traveled to the Upstate of South Carolina from all over the
world to buy, sell and study manufacturing techniques fueled
by the hugely successful textile industry that existed here
for decades. BMW, which arrived in nearby Spartanburg in the
mid-1990s, is already on its fourth expansion. The factory
has spawned other enterprises that supply parts and services
to BMW.
We
have many things to be proud of as Greenville, Greer,
Easley, Anderson and Spartanburg Residents. Those of us in
the Upstate are surrounded by the beauty of the foothills,
the culture rich, engaging Downtown Greenville, and Now the
confidence that we live in one of the fastest growing cities
in the U.S.
Get out there and experience it! - Bradshaw Infiniti -
