Nissan has turned the Leaf electric hatchback into a rugged emergency response car that can be deployed to restore power following natural disasters.

Dubbed the Re-Leaf, the off-roadish concept acts as a mobile power supply to aid the recovery process, with an integrated energy management system that can run medical equipment, communications, lights and even power tools.

The Re-Leaf features two weatherproof sockets on the outside, with 110 to 230 volts, and a third one mounted in the boot. According to the automaker, it can provide the electricity to power an average European household for around six days, or it can be used to operate an electric jackhammer, pressure ventilation fan, intensive care medical ventilator or 100-watt flood light for 24 hours.

“Concepts like the Re-Leaf show the possible application of EVs in disaster management and demonstrate that smarter, cleaner technology can help save lives and provide greater resilience for the future”, said Helen Perry, Nissan Europe’s chief of EVs and Infrastructure. “By having thousands of EVs available on standby, either as disaster-support vehicles or plugged into the network through vehicle-to-grid, they’re uniquely capable of creating a virtual power plant to maintain a supply of energy during a major outage.”

Finished in a unique color scheme, the Re-Leaf rides 70 mm (2.8 in) higher than the regular Leaf and features 90 mm front and 130 mm (3.5/5.1 in) rear wider tracks. Custom wheel arches have been added, as well as underbody protection, mud flaps and 17-inch motorsport wheels, shod in all-terrain tires.

The concept has a roof-mounted LED light bar, 32-inch LED screen that extends with a pullout desk from the boot and increased load area when removing the rear seats and a leveled floor, separated from the front by a cage.
