LEAF

Charging the Nissan LEAF is simple. You can charge it at home using the supplied cable, use a Rapid Charge Port or install a home charging unit.
 

Because the Nissan LEAF uses no petrol or diesel, filling up drains very little from your wallet. In fact, you'll be surprised by the savings you make once you go electric.

The Nissan LEAF’s impressive range will more than cover what most people need for a day’s driving, with up to 155 miles from a single charge.*
 

The UK Government offers an incentive for buyers of Ultra Low Emissions Vehicles. This grant covers up to 35% of the value of the car, to a maximum of either £2,500 or £4,500 depending on the model. This is automatically deducted from the price of your car. The scheme heavily favours buyers of 100% electric vehicles over plug-in hybrids, which combine traditional combustion engines and fuels with electric motors and battery technology. The 100% electric LEAF hatchback qualifies for the maximum £4,500 discount, while plug-in hybrids will only receive £2,500.***

Cars that are registered with the DVLA and have a fuel type of 'electric', like the Nissan LEAF, do not need to pay the London Congestion Charge, while many other vehicles will be paying the full £11.50 per day. For somebody living outside the congestion zone but driving into it five days a week, each week of the year, this could mean an annual saving of over £2,500.

To benefit from the discount, LEAF owners must register a customer account with TFL and set-up Auto Pay (£10 per vehicle per year). 

Because the Nissan LEAF uses no petrol or diesel, filling up drains very little from your wallet. In fact, you'll be surprised by how much extra you might get to enjoy every month.

Richard Whitehead MBE and his coach Dave Jackson have a bit of banter on the way to a training session in the 100% electric Nissan LEAF. Watch as Richard takes the time to explain the finer points of electric driving, to an otherwise skeptical Dave.

The LEAF is the latest chapter for Nissan in a history that spans decades of research and development. The story stretches back to the 1970s, when we revealed our first battery-powered car. We continued developing electric cars throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and in the 1990s adopted the lithium-ion battery – the precursor to the third-generation batteries that drive today’s LEAF. When it comes to electric cars, nobody can rival Nissan’s leadership and expertise.
