15 years ago, Nissan rocked the world when it introduced the Nissan Leaf, the first truly popular all-electric car. It was the first electric car, incidentally, to win the prestigious European Car Of The Year award, and for several years would be the best-selling electric car in the world. Now that we have taken stock, now that we have absorbed the achievement, it’s time to consider the new Nissan Leaf. The original Leaf was a hatchback, but this new one has subtly altered its physique, so that it’s now more of an SUV. The Nissan Leaf can recharge, from a fast public charging point, at up to 150kW.
