The new Nissan Leaf has arrived in Ireland for its European debut at Dublin’s Grand Canal Dock.
The Leaf is one of the first all-electric cars made available from a mainstream brand, others being the Renault Fluence EV and the Mitsubishi iMiev. This new electric vehicle is a zero-emission five-seater C-segment hatchback.
Nissan is already taking orders for the Leaf but the electric car will not be available in Ireland until February 2011 with availability in the UK starting in March 2011.
