...more than 90 m.p.h. (145 km/h) and its range is 100 miles (160 km) on a full charge. A 30-minute quick charge reaches 80% capacity. And with its lithium-ion battery placed under the vehicle floor, the Leaf has room for five people. While the Leaf will be built first at Nissan's Oppama plant in Kanazawa prefecture, production is also planned at the company's Smyrna, Tenn., plant.

The center estimates that owner-occupied households spent $122.6 billion on remodeling and repairs last year, compared with $139.1 billion in 2007.
