NISSAN WELCOMES ELECTRIC VEHICLE INCENTIVE ANNOUNCEMENT

Nissan welcomes today’s announcement by the Government to offer consumer incentives for electric vehicles.

In doing so the Government has signalled that Britain is serious about supporting new low carbon technologies and is serious about helping consumers to make more sustainable choices.

Consumer incentives will bring electric vehicle ownership within reach of UK motorists and make cars like the Nissan Leaf a financially viable alternative to conventional petrol and diesel-powered cars.
