Five years ago, the Nissan LEAF was the first mass-market electric vehicle to go on sale and it remains the best-selling EV of all time with almost 220,000 vehicles sold worldwide. With a new 155-mile range Nissan LEAF 30 kWh on sale across Europe, Nissan is pioneering affordable, all-electric technology for the mass-market. Having introduced electric vehicle production to Europe with LEAF in 2013, Nissan launched a second EV into Europe in 2014 when the e-NV200 van went into production in the Nissan's Barcelona plant in Spain – powered by the same European-built advanced lithium-ion batteries as the LEAF. Today, Nissan is the first manufacturer to look beyond the car and into the future with its pioneering Nissan-developed technologies - turning the LEAF into a fuel station for your house or workplace and a mobile power unit that makes Nissan customers money. UK Transport Minister, Andrew Jones said: 'This major milestone is great news for Nissan and yet another example of Britain leading the way in developing cleaner vehicle technology, which is good for the environment and supports jobs and growth. Our goal is for nearly every car to be zero emission by 2050 and we are investing £600 million in electric vehicles to make this a reality.' Launched in Europe earlier this year, the new Nissan LEAF 30kWh goes 25 percent further than the previous model, delivering up to 155-miles of driving range on a single charge, beating all of its competitors within the segment.
