Surge in EV interest
Securing the order of LEAF Acenta stock comes on the back of record electric vehicles enquires, prompted by fuel price hikes after panic buying in September and the recent climate-change publicity sparked by the COP26 Conference in Glasgow.
EV searches on the web have risen by as much 1500% in recent weeks and the arrival of new EV stock has been welcomed by New Car Performance Manager Dean Naylor. “This vehicle order landing is fantastic news for West Way”, said Dean. “Nissan’s factory in Sunderland is working flat out to get these LEAFs off the production line. And the great news for Nissan owners is that they qualify for a £2,250 contribution towards their finance deposit when they buy through Nissan with representative 2.99% finance, plus there’s a saving of £1,143 exclusive to West Way.”
At the time of writing, the Government’s Plug In Car Grant was still offering £2,500 off the price of 100% electric vehicles, making the LEAF even more affordable.
