Paul Kateregga owns a purely electric car, a Nissan Leaf 2014 model. It is a five seater sedan he has owned since November 2019, with a maximum speed of 160km/hour.
Among the interesting features it has is the mortar that replaces the ordinary combustion engine, a battery that stores power upon recharging, an inverter, which converts power from the battery from direct current to alternating current and forwards it to the electric mortar, which then rotates the wheels to enable the vehicle move.
