[CEATEC 2011] Nissan’s vision of the electric car has culminated in the Nissan LEAF which we have already taken out for a spin nearly half a year ago, and this time around at CEATEC 2011, Nissan decided to parade their “LEAF to Home” charging system that paves the way for electricity that is stored in your LEAF’s batteries to be used to power your humble abode. Yes sir, the next time there is a brownout or a power cut because you forgot to pay your bills, here comes your LEAF to save the day.
Of course, I would say that this bit of information comes in extremely handy only if it were to be applied in emergencies such as earthquakes and the like – otherwise, to have your electric car discharge its battery power so that you can boil some water with an electric kettle? It doesn’t make much sense, especially when you need to head off for work first thing in the morning, and public transport is not the mode of travel for you.

Environmentally conscious vacationers will be pleased to know that if they want to rent an electric vehicle (EV) or drive their own to Hawaii, if they were to stay at the Marriott Waikiki, they will have no problems charging their vehicle as AeroVironment has installed an EV charging station on the hotel’s premises.
A few days ago we reported that Samsung was reported to have requested for a ban of the iPhone and 3G iPad in the Netherlands, claiming that Apple had infringed upon their patents which included a form of wireless technology used for 3G communications, which explains why the WiFi-only iPad was left untouched. In our report we stated that Apple had scheduled a meeting with Samsung on Monday in order to discuss potential licensing fees, but now it has been revealed what Samsung is asking Apple to pay them.
The iPhone 5 is not out yet – but that does not mean third party manufacturers cannot come up with accessories for it, right? Japan has the honor of introducing the GETPOWERPAD Qi 1 wireless charger that not only plays nice with the iPhone 5, but is Qi compatible as well. The GETPOWERPAD Qi 1 wireless charger will juice up smartphones, mobile phones as well as other mobile electronic devices.
If you like the idea of marrying new technology with the old, perhaps this iPhone/iPod dock charger with a Bluetooth headset shaped in the style of a retro phone might appeal to you. As you can see from the photo above, the dock has been crafted in such a way that it appears to be rather vintage in design, and with the app running on the iPhone in the background, it looks like you could even make calls the old fashioned way by spinning the dial.
