2016 Nissan Leaf 30 kWh

[FiestaST]

"Nissan is once again transforming the performance, practicality and perception of EVs with the introduction of the LEAF 30 kWh - an updated Nissan LEAF that gives drivers 250 km of motoring range, beating all of its competitors in the segment."

"The LEAF's new 30kWh battery delivers a longer range with no compromise on internal packaging. Available on Acenta and Tekna trim grades, it has exactly the same exterior dimensions as existing 24kWh unit and only a modest 21 kg increase in weight. The result? A car that goes significantly further while offering the same practicality and usability as previous versions."

Cough Cough at RRP.

30kWh does not mean 250km, unless it is only city driving. 30kWh is ~137km on the highway.

Sorry people.

500k? ek isi ### nie.

Hence the reason why I've yet to see a Nissan Leaf on our roads.
There are probably just a handful sold to tree huggers in Cape Town.
Make it R200K and they'll sell like hot cakes.

Make it R200K and they'll sell like hot cakes.

If the government was not corrupt they should be subsidising these cars using the CO2 tax levied on petrol/diesel cars.

All-terrain Nissan Leaf to tackle 10,000 miles of rough road in Mongol Rally

​

Based on its small size and limited range, the Nissan Leaf would usually be one of the last vehicles you'd choose for driving thousands of miles through remote areas of the world. But the electric vehicle advocates at Plug In Adventures are about to do just that. They've specially prepared the Nissan Leaf All Terrain Electric Vehicle for the 10,000-mile (16,000-km) Mongol Rally, where it will be competing against many more of the last vehicles you'd usually choose for driving thousands of miles through remote areas of the world.

Founded in 2011, Plug In Adventures works to make electric vehicles and open-road adventure intersect, advocating and educating along the way. Over the years, it has been working its way up to one, insane undertaking: 10,000 miles of pure-electric driving over road and dirt, from the UK, through the mountains, desert and steppe of Eurasia, including the heart of Mongolia, and onward to Ulan Ude, Russia. The rally doesn't follow any specific route between start and end points (teams are encouraged to be creative and invite the unexpected) and offers no support or backup along the way, beyond that which teams can cajole from the locals.

The Plug In team has done some trips around the UK to prepare, including the 1,650-mile (2,655-km) there-and-back between John O'Groats and Land's End, but this latest endeavor will be a whole different beast with a much bigger appetite. And PIA will be the first team to attempt it in an electric vehicle.
