European Nissan LEAF drivers travel more than 50 percent further a year than the average diesel or petrol car in Europe

Over 31,000 Nissan LEAFs have been sold in Europe to date, and 150,000 sold globally

CarWings telemetry reveals that LEAF drivers are ahead of the European Transport average for car mileage

Nissan reveals that European owners of its 100 percent electric car, the Nissan LEAF, travel more than 50 percent further per year (16,588 km) than the European average for a traditional internal combustionpowered vehicle (10,818 km[i]).
Spanish Nissan LEAF drivers come out on top, covering on average more than 367 km each week, Swedish drivers (339 km) come second and the UK third with 324 km.

According to the latest figures, drivers of traditional petrol or diesel powered cars covered an average of 208 km per week.

Thanks to the CarWings telemetry in the LEAF, which records real life driver data, Nissan has been able to report that its European drivers amass on average 319 km a week in their LEAF* all without any exhaust emissions.

Further research from the automaker indicated that 89 percent of LEAF drivers charge overnight at home, benefiting from a cost per mile of just two pence or less.

This insight into LEAF driver habits, comes just four years since the car's launch, in 2010, as one of the first massmarket, pureelectric vehicles.

It is now the bestselling electric vehicle in history, with over 150,000 LEAF vehicles sold globally, more than 31,000 of which have been sold in Europe.

The launch follows on from the success of the Nissan LEAF, its allelectric car, which has collectively clocked up an impressive one billion kilometres worldwide.
