Hi Dave, this might be of interest - Dave
Ahead of the model’s arrival into UK showrooms in 2018, Nissan is delighted that the all-new Nissan LEAF has been awarded Best Small Family Car in the Next Green Car Awards 2017. The New Nissan LEAF picks up right where the previous model left off. The Nissan LEAF 30kWh, launched in January 2016, received the same accolade at the 2015 awards.
There are a lot of videos that have surfaced today on the start up of the LEAF Production but all are basically the same, so here is one just for interest - Dave
The acceleration of electrification. 10,000 European customers order the new Nissan LEAF in two months. Strong and consistent demand for new LEAF across European markets confirms growing demand for electric vehicles. Production underway to support customer deliveries commencing February 2018 - Dave
Technology developed by Nissan for the 100% electric Nissan LEAF will be used in an electric bus project that starts testing next month in Japan, with the goal of making zero-emission public transit more widespread and affordable - Dave
Ray Massey Test. This Leaf is getting a Lot of very Positive comments lately - Dave
This is the real deal, designed for the real world at less than £30,000 and a smart car that owes much to a new ‘pedal power’ system. It looks and drives like a proper family car and is built in Sunderland. While the first-generation Leaf which has sold 300,000 worldwide and 21,000 in Britain since its launch in 2011 appealed to geeks, this one’s more conventional hatchback styling works well. It’s nimble in normal drive mode with instant acceleration that’s as quiet as a Rolls-Royce. A little blue button makes the accelerator pedal double as a brake when you lift your foot which means your driving is smoother.
