From collating data for a large, real-life trial of ultra-low carbon vehicles, Sarah spoke to many drivers about their experience of electric motoring. It was inevitable that the 100% Electric Leaf was a clear winner! After test driving the much loved Leaf; Sarah finds the ultra-low emission Nissan Leaf exceeds all her expectations!
The researcher from Oxford Brookes University found the Nissan Leaf exterior boasts a well-engineered, large, conventional hatchback with enhanced boot space in the rear, roomy, comfortable and stocked with hi-tech driver aids – putting her petrol run-around vehicle to shame!

After having a far deeper interest in electric cars since 2009, it is evident that the Nissan Leaf was full of surprises; exceeding Sarah’s knowledge and expertise on electric vehicles. With 124 miles on Eco mode and fully charged the Nissan Leaf is perfect for Sarah’s everyday seven mile commute and more before it needs a re-charge from the comfort of your own home or at a local charging station!
Not only did the Leaf exceed Sarah’s expectations, it also presented her with more range that she ever needs from her usual seven mile commute. Fully charged Leaf in Eco mode can travel up to a staggering 124miles before it needs a re-charge benefiting the usual petrol motor vehicle owner from a 75% subsidised or even free domestic charging point. On the motorway the Leaf more than held its own – with excellent acceleration and intelligent power saving vehicle the deceleration automatically replenishes the battery life.
