100% Electric, driving the future

Imagine a vehicle that’s cheap to run, more environmentally friendly and instantly responsive. At Nissan, we have long understood the advantages of a battery pack powering a silent electric motor. Nissan electric vehicles offer improved range and performance to make your drive as efficient as possible. The advantages of driving an electric vehicle are numerous, but to make the most of them, there are some things to consider.

Electricity creates motion

Electricity creates motion

Electric vehicles use electricity stored in rechargeable high-voltage batteries to power an electric motor. The motor then converts the electric energy into mechanical power to drive the vehicle.

Car plugs-in

Plugs in like any other device

Electric vehicle batteries need to be charged with electricity supplied from a power outlet, such as a plug socket at home or a public charging station.

Wastes no energy

Wastes little energy

With regenerative braking, energy produced while the vehicle decelerates is converted and stored in the battery. The energy is produced when the accelerator pedal is released by the driver and the momentum of the wheels turns the electric motor. With less need to use the brakes and other mechanical parts, vehicle parts can last longer.

Electric car being charged through a domestic plug

Home plug

Plug your car into a dedicated domestic socket (one with a direct line to the circuit breaker and no other sockets) using your EVSE cable, and the battery will top-up overnight. That’s probably all you will need if you just have a short commute or you don’t use your car every day.

Home AC charger

The best place to charge your electric vehicle at home is using a dedicated AC home charger. With power outputs ranging from 3kW to 22kW, depending on your electricity supply and vehicle capability, AC home chargers allow much faster charging times than using a 3-pin socket. 

Furthermore, the Government EV chargepoint grant can provide support towards an EV chargepoint installation, subject to eligibility. Further details can be found at:

Electric car charging at a public charge point.

Public charge points

According to information from Zap Map, there are over 42,000 charging points across the United Kingdom, including more than 6,700 rapid and ultra-rapid charges installed. You can even benefit from free parking while you charge at some stations and workplaces.

Take care of your battery

Most electric vehicles won’t experience significant battery decline under normal everyday use. A simple tip to keep your battery in shape is to avoid letting the charge drop below 5%.

Plan your trips

Your electric vehicle’s battery is fully sufficient for your day-to-day journeys. When going on long trips, just make sure to let it take a break and charge while you stretch your legs and grab a bite to eat.

Optimise your driving

Just like with a petrol car, small details can make a big difference to your driving efficiency charge. Speed, accelerating and braking behaviour, road conditions, the number of passengers and amount of luggage, tyre pressure and even the air temperature all play a role in the car's range.

Remote monitoring

With the NissanConnect1 Services app, you can use your phone like a remote control for your car. That means you can lock or unlock the car from anywhere, know where your car is at all times, heat it up or cool it down in advance, and even set your car to recharge when off-peak electricity is available.

Smooth and responsive drive

Electric motors provide 100% torque, which means smooth, powerful acceleration every time, with no engine vibration and near complete silence. Just push for instant power and ease off to slow down. One pedal helps you stay in control, with the brake pedal reserved for responsive braking.

Bank notes

Low maintenance, low running costs

The first saving you’ll notice is never having to buy petrol again. 100% electric vehicles also have far fewer moving parts, which reduces maintenance costs. Even wear on brake pads is reduced because electric cars use the motor to slow down, which also feeds power back to the battery.

Zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving

You can say goodbye to tailpipe emissions whilst driving and enjoy driving knowing you’ve joined the electric revolution.

Qualify for 100% discount on the London Congestion Charge

Owners of an electric car do not need to pay the London Congestion Charge, while many other vehicles pay the full £15 per day. For somebody living outside the congestion zone but driving into it five days a week for a year, this could mean an annual saving of over £3,750.

Live richer with 2% BIK for electric company-car drivers

In April 2021, the UK Government introduced new benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax rates3 for the tax year 2022/23. This means company car drivers of 100% electric vehicles pay 2% BIK. We’ve worked this out as an average saving of £3,496 in the first year4. So, why not give yourself the equivalent of a pay rise by switching you petrol or diesel company car to a 100% electric Nissan LEAF.
