Come along on a test drive of the Nissan Leaf.

Ever wonder what one of those all-electric cars feels like when you're behind the wheel? Well, here's your chance. We'll start by getting the lowdown on what it means to be a "zero-emission vehicle" from one of the Energy Department's car specialists.
