GENERAL

The Nissan Leaf is a compact five-door hatchback electric car manufactured by Nissan and introduced in Japan and the United States in December 2010, followed by various European countries and Canada in 2011. More than 300,000 Leafs have been sold worldwide through January 2018, making the Leaf the world's all-time best-selling highway-capable electric car in history. On 2 October 2017, for the 2018 model year, Nissan launched the new generation Leaf with a number of significant improvements.

Introduced alongside a raft of design, technology and engineering updates, the longer range significantly broadens the LEAF's appeal - making it a true alternative to an internal combustion engine vehicle for millions of motorists and reinforcing its position as the world's best electric car.

Customers will be able to recharge from their homes, from public chargers, or from the network of Quick Chargers (3 phase, 400V) rapidly expanding across European - the best EV network available. Quick charging time remains at just 30 minutes to charge the LEAF from 0-80% - exactly the same period of time it takes the 24 kWh battery to achieve the same level of charge.

TECHNOLOGIES
