As with the 2014 Saleen Tesla, both models will offer all available driveline options and Saleen specific technology such as the motor cooling systems and driveline enhancements.

With a starting MSRP of $124,500 after federal tax credits, the newly updated vehicle and configurations on the 2015 all-electric Saleen model will receive updated badging as well; The Saleen ST.

ST | 380
The 380HP base model will receive a myriad of additional upgrades including aerodynamics, aesthetics, braking, and Saleen specific suspension components as standard equipment. New for this model year is the 2+2 Saleen performance seating which is now standard on all ST models. Optional equipment will continue and include the Saleen specific 11.39:1 final gear ratio and Saleen carbon ceramic brakes.

ST | 691
This model is the ultimate in all-electric performance and provides a unique track capable throttle response, acceleration, and torque management efficiency worthy of any world-class Supercar. When configured with the Saleen specific features and optional drive ratios, the 691HP all-wheel drive dual motor configuration is expected to accelerate at a seat planting 0-60MPH in under 3 seconds.


car2go Announces Over 13,000 Members In First Month Of Brooklyn Operation And Releases User Behavior Data

Leading Carsharing Service Also Announces New Mobile Access Feature

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- car2go North America LLC, the largest, fastest-growing global carsharing company, announced today that the company has over 13,000 Brooklyn members in its first month of operation in the Brooklyn borough, marking it car2go's fastest-growing market to date. In celebration of the milestone, car2go has also shared Brooklyn user behavior data since its launch, including that its unique fleet of smart cars have been driven 55,000 miles, the equivalent distance of traveling across the U.S. – from coast to coast -- over eight times.

The car2go Brooklyn service, which launched on October 25th, provides 400 car2go vehicles for shared use, allowing members to use the service by the minute, 24 hours a day, seven days a week – without committing to a specific return time or dedicated location. As the only true, point-to-point car-sharing service in North America, car2go Brooklyn members are able to pick up and drop off a car2go anywhere within the Home Area, which includes neighborhoods such as Williamsburg, Park Slope, Red Hook, Coney Island and Sunset Park, among others.

"We couldn't be more thrilled about the launch in Brooklyn – it has truly become our most successful market," said Paul DeLong, CMO of car2go North America. "Its incredible growth is testament to our unique offering, and how the progressive people of Brooklyn needed an alternative public transportation option when traveling within their borough. The acceptance has been humbling, and we are energized to continue helping Brooklynites get from Point A to Point B with ease."

In celebration of the one month milestone, car2go has shared the following Brooklyn user behavior data:

- 22.45 Minutes – The average car2go trip time in Brooklyn.
- Over 55,000 Miles -- Total number of miles driven by car2go Brooklyn vehicles. 55,000 miles is the equivalent of traveling across the country – coast to coast – over eight times.
- The G Line -- The most popular subway line to end rentals. car2go's busiest stop was near the G line Broadway stop and the J/M line Lorimer Street stop. With over 300 trips ending within a 0.1 square mile radius of the area, car2go has truly served as a complement to public transportation by bridging the gaps between the first and last mile.
- The Barclays Center, Prospect Park and Williamsburg – The most popular destinations for car2go Brooklyn members. car2go saw nearly 600 trips to the Barclays Center, 700 just north of Prospect Park, and over 1,300 trips to Williamsburg.
- New Jersey, Connecticut, Upstate New York and Montauk – The furthest trips by a Brooklyn car2go vehicle. car2go has seen its vehicles travel into all five boroughs on a daily basis.

In addition to the Brooklyn data, car2go also announced today the launch of Mobile Access, an upgraded app feature in its iOS and Android applications that allows members to not only search for and reserve a car2go vehicle, but begin their car2go trip via their smartphones. Mobile Access will serve as an alternative to the company's member card, which was, until now, the only way to access a car2go vehicle and end a ride. To use Mobile Access, members must first update their iOS or Android car2go app to version 2.0.

Available to car2go's over 900,000 registered members, the new feature works on car2go's entire global fleet of over 12,500 car2go vehicles. With Regional Access, members are able to use the service seamlessly in each of car2go's 15 locations across North America, when traveling for work or play outside of Brooklyn.

Effective until December 21st, car2go will offer free car2go membership, along with 30 minutes of free drive time at brooklyn.car2go.com using promotional code BKLYN.

Today, car2go is the fastest-growing global carsharing company in eight countries and 30 cities, including Brooklyn, Austin, San Diego, Washington, D.C., Portland, Miami, Seattle, the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul), Columbus, Denver, Los Angeles (South Bay), Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and Montreal.

NISSAN OFFERS FREE PUBLIC CHARGING FOR NEW LEAF BUYERS IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA – As customers flood local stores this week looking for Black Friday deals, Nissan is offering Atlanta buyers of the all-electric LEAF its own money-saving holiday special: no-cost public charging for two years.

Nissan is today announcing "No Charge to Charge" for Atlanta, a program that offers no-cost access to more than a dozen quick chargers spread throughout the Greater Atlanta market for two years with the purchase or lease of a new LEAF electric car. These quick chargers can charge a LEAF from zero to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes, providing drivers additional range to extend the use of their car.

"Atlanta is America's biggest market for LEAF, and access to free public charging can enhance the convenience of driving an electric car and motivate additional consumers to make the switch to Nissan LEAF," said Brendan Jones, director, Nissan Electric Vehicle Sales and Infrastructure. "As the top-selling electric car brand, Nissan is actively working with key partners to ramp up charging infrastructure in Metro Atlanta to make more charging options available for the thousands of area LEAF owners."

While "No Charge to Charge" kicks off today, Nissan is extending the program to LEAF owners who purchased or leased their vehicle on or after Nov. 1.

Atlanta has been the number one LEAF market since mid-2013 due to a variety of factors, including an available Georgia state tax credit, single-occupant access to high occupancy vehicle (HOV) and high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes and a number of major companies who now provide workplace charging for their employees. This along with strong word-of-mouth support from existing LEAF owners to family, friends and co-workers, are the reasons LEAF's popularity in Atlanta has soared.

Nissan now offers "No Charge to Charge" in 13 of the top markets for Nissan LEAF sales, including San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Nashville, Phoenix, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and Chicago. By mid-2015, Nissan plans to offer the "No Charge to Charge" program at LEAF dealers in at least 12 additional U.S. markets.

With more than 147,000 global sales and more than 66,000 in the U.S., Nissan LEAF is the world's best-selling electric car. LEAF features seating for up to five passengers and boasts an EPA-estimated* driving range of 84 miles on a fully-charged battery and MPGe ratings of 126 city, 101 highway and 114 combined.

The starting price of a Nissan LEAF is about $17,000** in Georgia after maximum available federal and state tax credits, and LEAF offers the benefits of lower running costs and less scheduled maintenance. Nissan manufactures LEAF and its battery pack less than 250 miles from Atlanta at its plant in Smyrna, Tennessee.,.
