The blog posts answered simple questions about hybrid technology, the inner workings of the Nissan Leaf 100 percent electric car and the practicality of an electric vehicle for commuters and students.

Through content on the Matt Castrucci Nissan website and social media channels, the goal is to further educate and inform the public about the power of electric vehicles and remove the mystery behind the innovative technology. Over 22,610 Nissan Leafs were sold in 2013 and the number is expected to continue to grow as more drivers embrace vehicles powered by gasoline alternatives.

The 2015 Nissan Leaf scored good crash test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and earned the highest rating in moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints and seat tests. The small overlap crash test measures a vehicle's active and inactive safety technology when it hits a narrow object off-center and was the only test the 2015 Nissan Leaf receive its lowest rating.
