The first sensible sized electric car at a sensible price, ideal as a second car for short suburban runs or for use in the city, drives and handles very well indeed, the best EV so far.
Limited range of 100 miles means it cannot fully replace a petrol, diesel or hybrid family car, limited supply and at £25,990 not cheap.

Introduction
It's not often a car comes along that's genuinely exciting - something groundbreaking and innovative. But that's exactly what the Nissan Leaf is. It's designed as the first affordable, purpose-designed zero emission electric vehicle from a major manufacturer. This really is a very important car and one that could shape the future of motoring.
What you first notice is how normal the Leaf looks. There's no hint that this is an electric car - it could very well just be a standard hatchback. And that's the point. Nissan wants people to consider this a 'real car', not a weird and wonderful electric vehicle. It also explains why it's a family-friendly five-door hatchback, with all the room, comfort and practicality you'd expect.
The Leaf will go on sale here in March 2011 and will be the first of a range of five electric vehicles from Nissan which will include a small city car, a sports model and a small van. Of course new techology is never cheap and the Leaf is no exception. It will cost £25,990 when it goes on sale and that includes the £5000 discount from the Government incentive. True, that's far from cheap. But the Leaf is a groundbreaking car that doesn't need fuel and has zero VED, so running costs are minimal.
