New version of Nissan Leaf? (Joke)

[coach]

So here is an article from the BBC site on using seaweed to power vehicles in The Caribbean. I thought at first it was perhaps fuel for electricity generation but it then goes on to mention conversion kits for the cars.

It show a Nissan Leaf in the picture to be running on said fuel (ambiguously possibly)

Slight anomaly is that I don't recollect there ever being a version of the Leaf that was fuel conventional (Normal fossil/alternative) powered. Just electric.

From two thirds of the way through the article - "Watching the successful test drive of a biogas-charged Nissan Leaf "

I would take that to mean that the Leaf's battery was charged with electricity from a generator running on biogas from their process.
Producing biogas from waste of various sorts is in widespread use. The novelty here is the adaptation of the process to use Sargassum.

Oops missed that in the article, thanks chaps. Was too quickly triggered by what I perceived as poorly written article/poor journalism when in fact it was my lazy reading!
