Nissan LEAF: Gas Powered Everything commercial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 май 2011
- Nissan North America has unveiled a new ad campaign that asks "What if everything ran on gas?"
Created to promote their electric powered Leaf model, the commercial takes a humorous look at the advantages of electricity. More interestingly, Nissan takes a swipe at the Chevrolet Volt which is a range-extended electric vehicle that uses a petrol engine to extend its 25 to 50 mile (40 to 80 km) range on electricity alone.
Nissan will begin airing 15-second teasers later this week, before debuting the full commercial on June 12th during the NBA Finals in the U.S.

I had to watch a commercial to watch a commercial....
+RUclips aholic what ever
Yeah, I noticed that.
STONKS!
So true
Why is that a thing.
The showed the volt being filled with gas! Shots have been fired!!!!!!
Yep, we have a Leaf and a Volt. I have not put gas in the Volt yet, but expect to in about 6 months
GM should die for that half-step joke
@@anthonybha4510 Chevy Volt is a badass car I've driven it about 70,000 hard miles and it keeps on going. 198K on the odo
Its funny how they take the chance to bash the Volt :P.
That bash is pretty hard to understand. It's basically free publicity for GM there.
well. it is a hybrid vs BEV, so a good shot to take, especially at that time.
Am I the only one that is so into steam punk that all of that stuff REALLY made me pause the video and admire it?
Don't you mean 'Diesel Punk'?
@@epaminon6196 don't you mean 'benzopunk'?
and which part exactly was a steam engine or punk?
This is still one of the BEST commercials I've ever seen....
That was an awesome commercial! Well done ad agency! Well done.
honestly I low-key want a computer you can rev up that would be so sick
Somebody needs to hook up a game steering wheel (w/ pedals ofc) to control PWM fans...
There are actually U.S. military plans to have battlefield electronics driven by tiny internal gas turbines fueled off off butane cylinders.
Don't even start your car engine in a closed garage...
And don't try similar things in a room...
People have died from that.
People have died from a fancy gas oven in the living room or from the exhausts of a generator in the basement or from the car exhausts in a closed garage.
Proud to own the first generation of leaf 2011. 7 years, no issue what so ever. Never buy a gas car again!!!
Still driving the leaf?
Still driving yo leaf brother
I love that they knock the fact you have to gas the Chevrolet Volt at 0:46!
FOR ALL THE MORONS OUT THERE Who keep spouting about the car being powered by coal. First, you need to examine how much electricity (and hence coal) is burned to refine your gasoline from crude oil. I mean, if we're going to start comparing fuel production, lets talk about BOTH sides of that argument. Secondly, even if it were powered by 100% coal, it is still cleaner than gasoline and coal is a domestic energy source! Better economy, security, and environment all in one. Go COAL!
Can’t believe this ad already has 9 years.now I have my Tesla Model 3, never gonna put any gas anymore
Nissan thanks a billion for this commercial, and offcourse for the Leaf
The Nissan Leaf gets its energy from power plants that use fossil fuels. (:
@@MeowStationOrignal Oil companies use fossil fuels to drill, refine, transport, and store oil.
@@MeowStationOrignal Me a Vancouverite swimming in hydroelectricity:
This has got to be one of the funniest commercials I have ever seen.
I'm watching this on my gas powered tablet!
GAS POWERED STICK
Ever since this has come out, it to me has been one of the FUNNIEST commercials I have ever seen! lmao! Love it!
Am I the only one that thinks that would be a kick ass way to start up a computer?
Saving the gas powered part, of course.
Valiant Weaver back in the day, computers DID have keys; but they were to lock the case from tampering and component theft. Someone out there needs to rig a computer with an ignition switch instead of an on button.
Sure, just connect a game steering wheel (+pedals ofc) to your computer and have a program control the PWM fans with it!
Also, the gas powered printer
But if I switch from my gas powered toothbrush to electric I'll have full brush anxiety...I will always be afraid of not brushing my teeth completely. (Sarcasm if you couldn't tell).
Petrol powered toothbrushes are so much better compared to electric ones!!
If I switch from my gas powerd smart phone to my electric powered smart phone, I might run out of juice while watching RUclips! Great advertisement Nissan!
But toothbrushes are not practical unless you can brush your teeth for 8 hours straight ;)
Maybe Toyota/Lexus should take note of this with their recent mockery of EV's with their "self charging" hybrids.
i want a gasoline powered computer!
I want a gas powered coffee maker now ._.
Just a Random Dude it would be great for power outages!
@@digitalrailroader I have seen videos where people have powered their homes from the Nissan Leaf battery. Time to go solar.
Gas powered Espresso Machine that runs the compressor. That might actually work.
Colin furze will make it
Technically a percolator heated by a gas-fired camp stove is a practical idea.
@mvpol31 That's true, unless you're driving a Leaf in France, where 80% of the electricity is from nuclear energy, and thus driving a Leaf would be truly emission free. Of course, then everyone is going to point out the Japanese nuclear crisis of March 2011 (in which no one died), and then nuclear becomes out of the question.
I really think nuclear is a great option, most other human beings just don't because of fear which is totally understandable.
Nuclear is great if you are prepared for large part of your country to become totally uninhabitable for decades and all the produce from that area and surrounding water table or sea becoming inedible.
@@SuperMadpom Yes. Humans make mistakes, and they program machines, so machines may also make mistakes. Making a mistake with nuclear is much more dangerous than making it with solar power, even if more people have died from solar energy (did panels fall on people's heads?) than nuclear energy.
I live in a state that is almost completely powered by nuclear, and it's still habitable. So, no.
0:40 That drill looks absolutely terrifying.
I don't wanna receive treatment delivered by a tremendous gas-powered dental jackhammer.
I bet old Bob Lutz blew a stack when he saw this commercial lol !
The ad agency who created this should win an award. Polar bear ad was also awesome.
Honestly can say we acquired LEAFs partly because of these ads.
Never been influenced by an ad before.
As a Leaf driver, I find that there are more outlets in public- than gas stations. If I actually ran out (which I never have) almost any building has outside 110V outlets. Yeah, sure, you are taking 15 cents worth of electricity, but it's an emergency! Electricity (220V) is already distributed everywhere in the US....after rural electrification in the 20's.
anyone else think it's awesome that the ad for this video is the ad in this video?
This documentary was filmed in Australia.
I remember watching this at 3 years old and it making my brain look like melted ice cream cake love it
Great! I love this ad. Looking forward to seeing Leaf run on the street in Jeju, Korea.
There is so much detail to this commercial.
This commercial is a direct attack on Jeremy Clarkson lol
I like when the maintenance guy is checking the oil on the office printer
I want a gas powered computer
who doesn't
Best commercial ever!
Thumbs up this commercial is very creative!
Great commercial for being 10 years old.
I think the commercial is too ahead of it's time! I'd like to see it with the new Leaf.
seriously? Are you making me watch an ad before I watch this ad?
notice the volt :D
don't buy the volt. buy the leaf. here is a commercial to help convince you.
Love it! Great commercial
Great commercial. Loved it.
i love the volt in the background xD
Everything ran on gas? A world where everything kicks ass! awesome!
This is basically with the industrial revolution. Stuck to gas powered instead of going crazy, electric, alternate history. and that’s alternate history Is not bad. :)
Wow, I have to watch an ad to get to the ad I wan tto watch.
Little baby stack on the alarm clock is so cute.
Amazing commercial
Love this ad, made me chuckle :)
Nissan: What if gas powered everything?
Me: Well depending on how you look at it, it would be either be heaven or hell.
It would be hell no question. Mass suicide in office buildings would be a start.
No sane or right-minded person would consider it heaven. But then again you have two malevolent nuclear superpowers whose populations were gullible enough to elect Republicans, Trump and Putin, and continue to defend them no matter how heinous they are.
Another perfect commercial
BEST car commercial EVER.
10 years later we're still fighting FUD and get lectured by petrol head environmental experts
The truth is all these “electric cars” use power plants for the energy and the power plants use fossil fuels. It really defeats the purpose of getting one.
I only dream of such an awesome world.
btw fuck electric cars n hybrids
based
@@canadiangunner0190 indeed so
*Dies of carbon monoxide poisoning, asthma, lung cancer and stroke at the same time*
@@evolt7553 eh, atleast its epic, based, and most certainly redpilled unlike a "safe" environment. you gotta live a little yknow.
WOW Nissan!!! your commercial is SUBLIMINAL!
anybody else catch the guy "PUMPING GAS" in the competing chevy volt? which is actually an ELECTRIC CAR. Nissan you thought you were so sneaky...
The point is that the guy is filling up with petrol. The Volt isn't a true electric car since it has a gas engine, too. It's very well placed.
@XtinasEdge its a plug-in hybrid, it says so on the top of the screen
@SuperHello311 That is a good point. Did you know around the year 1900 if you had a "benzine buggy" you had to special order your gasoline (usually from the local pharmacy!). Eventually the infrastructure was built and internal combustion power became the norm. I took many years to get were we are with gasoline. It will take time but eventually you will see apartments with assigned parking spots with outlets (they already exist in cold climates). It will probably become a selling point.
@KingKonstantin1 that's actually a serious concern. some japanese hybrid / electrics are being outfitted with noise makers / beepers to help alert pedestrians
Irony: to watch this commercial I had to sit through a commercial. Yo dawg, I heard...
It goes deeper than this. Whether it's gas or electricity or whatever it should be in harmony with the nature.
They should recreate this ad for the 2023 Leaf
Me too. Mainly cuz I've only used 8 gallons of gas in 10 months of owning my Volt. Oh yeah, I can go from my house to an Oakland A's game and back in my Volt. Couldn't do that in a Leaf. People complain about electric car owners stabbing each other in the back, and then they make a commercial putting down another electric car. I wish GM would make a commercial showing a Volt leaving town with a Leaf dead, on the side of the road because they went farther than their charge.
Ha lol, to watch this commercial i had to watch the same ad before video started :)
THIS WILL BE FCKN CRAZY :(
@XtinasEdge Chevy Volt is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.
The Leaf is 100% electric but the Volt can be driven longer due to the electric/gas powered engine. Plus the Volt looks better than the Leaf.
Brilliant!
love the chevrolet volt at the gas station
I love how they ripped on the volt, which was the only other commercially available electric car (yes I know it's a PHEV and not a BEV, but if you read into the Voltec powertrain, it is an EV with a gasoline backup) at the time. Also, volt owners are now laughing in the face of leaf owners as their batteries aren't depreciating whereas the leafs can now barely hold a charge.
i want literally everything in this video except the leaf
As a Leaf owner, it irrationally bugs me that the Leaf guy at the end doesn't close the little orange flap over the charging port before closing the main cover. The little flap is meant to keep rain out. It's sort of like how most gas cars have a little round cap under the flip-open cover. It's not the end of the world if you don't close it, but it still bugs me.
This is brilliant
I need a computer like that in my life.
Little do they know, the electric you use to recharge the car comes from an engine.
i still cant belive i have to watch a commercial... to watch another commercial...... godammit google....
@CarlChub - Why do people keep spouting these low sales numbers as proof of anything? They only sold 125 because that is all they produced. They sold every single one and each dealer has a long waiting list. GM and Nissan both are having a hard time getting production up. Next year when both manufacturers get production up, then lets talk about it. It took me 14 months to get my Leaf. I signed up on the first day.
The 8-Bit Guy wait are you real
Bruh
10 years later and look where the world is now, nationwide charging infostructure across two networks and millions of EVs on the road. We're not done yet, but its crazy to see how much progress has been made.
@@voltspc9394 Not only that, but the current charging network is sufficient enough you can make a coast to coast drive, but would only run into issues in Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota.
creative
and i had a volt commercial before watching this video comparing it :P
I just got a commercial about the commercial for the commercial i was going to see....
Best Volt ad ever.
This was for the Nissan leaf
@thejacobandjason The key difference here is that cars are not as efficient as power plants, cars average about 20% efficient right now, while coal fired power plants stand at about 31%, nuclear is similar, 33% for a pressurized water reactor and 30% for a boiling water reactor. Natural gas fired cogeneration plants (gas is burned to drive a turbine with resulting heat used to create steam to drive another turbine) get to 50% efficiency.
The whole saving the planet thing is a bonus for me, I just never want to pay another penny to an oil company! If someone sneezes the prices go up ten cents! I just read an article in the New York Times that said that a Saudi oil minister named Ali Naimi said “There is no rational reason why oil prices are continuing to remain at these high levels."
Parabens nissan pelo exemplo! Pena que.em meu pais vai demorar muito para alguem poder ter um.
Lol.. the commercial that played first.. is part of this commercial
Advertising as an Art Form.
Electric vehicles get their electricity from generators (almost entirely fossil fuel burning at that)
Using electricity from the grid actually creates a bit more emissions than in a normal gas powered vehicle. And there is plastic in these cars as well, which is a petrol product.
And the batteries are horrible things in landfills and such.
So if you buy one of these cars, you aren't exactly saving anything except a little gas money.
Someone from Chevron is watching this and going "hmmmm.." and thinking of making everyday devices that run on gasoline.
480 is still 480. The Volt could easily drive from, say, Detroit to Chicago in the standard 3.5 hours. For the same trip you'd need to add a couple hours to charge the Leaf in Marshall, MI and Gary, IN (and you would get shot in the latter).
i wish i could live in the gas powered everything world
That would be the second worst world you could possibly imagine, the first of course being one where the Nazis won WW2. Thank goodness neither of them came to be.
@dzlvs8 The volt gets ~40 miles to the charge. The Leaf gets 80-100 depending on where it's driven.
Way to go.
dooo... i would totally get a gas powered clock
@jfmanluke
My point still stands that a pure battery EV can switch fuels instantly without modifying the vehicle at all. that is the kind of flexibility that will lead to energy security. Gas prices can (and do) change daily. In this jurisdiction gas prices are regulated and subject to weekly changes. Electricity is, for the most part fixed and is only subject to yearly review. The utility provider has to petition the Utilities Review Board for any price increase.
This makes me really want that coffee machine...
this would actually looks fuckin badass lol, especially the computer you turn on with a key an rev up with a pedal. I mean, visually it looks awesome, but we would die in a few minutes except if there are exhaust to outside
You're basically proving the point of this commercial and why we haven't moved on from gasoline and diesel.
@@justintang2294 you're basically proving you take youtube comments to seriously. Obviously, I won't buy a gas powered computer cause it does not make sense. Cars and computers are totally different tho.
@@murdechoc Well of course I take things seriously because our environment is being jeopardized by climate change deniers and those who blindly support them. People who roll coal in their trucks just to "piss off libs," and stand in the way of finding better raw materials and energy sources than coal and fossil fuels.
And where does the electricity to power that Leaf come from? In America most of it comes from oil, natural gas, and coal. So guess what? The Leaf essentially runs on the same stuff it was mocking in the video!! And that doesn't even include the materials to make the Leaf--copper, lithium, aluminum, plastics, etc., etc., etc....
It is a clever commercial especially the Volt being filled with gas at the end--brilliant.
the hell coping! the idea for electric cars is the best ever! go green!
To all people concerned with the manufacturing of electricity. It's a slow process, but we are and have been using renewable resources, and while it will take time and require gas to make, it's a permanent solution.
Very creative! It seems Nissan is really going for the electric car business because with this commercial they actually discredit about 99.9.. % of their own business.
yeah.
@TheseYeahThese you are right on, I agree
@KingKonstantin1
powerful car audio + "sport car ringtone" must help :D
If everything ran on gas, they'd be a lot easier to fix.
