Along with the more turbines, their average capacity has also increased. In 2011, wind turbines averaged 3.4 MW, up from an average of 2.9 MW in the first half of 2010.

The World Car Awards jurors observed that: "The LEAF is the gateway to a brave new electric world from Nissan. This 5-seater, 5-door hatchback is the world's first, purpose-built, mass-produced electric car. It has a range of over 100 miles on a full charge claims Nissan, takes around eight hours to recharge using 220-240V power supply and produces zero tailpipe emissions. Its low centre of gravity produced sharp turn-in with almost no body roll and no understeer. The good news? It feels just like a normal car, only quieter."

Analysis shows that the low-price design will result in a transformer that is $2,293 to $2,999 less expensive, depending upon wind conditions. However, the transformer will be less efficient. The loss in annual sales revenue alone of $346 to $413 is greater than the annual savings in principle and interest of $179 to $235. The loss in subsidy payments of $73 to $87 and increase in backup power costs of $88 to $108 further lowers profitability.
