Nissan was present at the CES this year where the Japanese automaker discussed the new features of the upcoming 2018 Nissan Leaf. Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Renault-Nissan & Mitsubishi, swiped at the EV's tech details including a highly-intelligent battery management system. This feature enables the vehicle to prevent rapid battery capacity loss.

Based on its sales figures, the Nissan Leaf is doing well in the automotive market. Its Battery Thermal Management System is actually a huge but unnoticed flaw by many car enthusiasts. Without this feature, the car cannot last up to eight years, according to Nseavoice.

Nissan's confirmation of a next-gen Leaf augurs for an improved battery management system. This feature helps the EV to adapt in non-compatible climates such as Arizona. The automaker also shared its plan to offer different range settings based on the market. So expect different Nissan Leafs in North America, Asia, and Europe.

Meanwhile, Ghosn revealed that the car will have a new ProPilot technology. This exciting feature enables the vehicle to be partly autonomous on one-lane highways where it could run above 200 miles per hour, says Takao Asami, a Nissan senior vice president of research and advanced engineering.

Another interesting feature that is being speculated is the new e-Power engine, which Nissan announced before. The engine is only designed to use electric power while a gasoline engine will generate power for the battery pack.

Everything remains vague about the 2018 Nissan Leaf which has been discussed for some time now. Consumers are left in the dark regarding the vehicle's readiness for launch. It does not feel like they are not getting close to the new Nissan Leaf at all.
