The vehicle was originally launched in 2010.
Japanese car giant Nissan says its compact hatchback called Leaf has become the first electric car to exceed 400,000 in sales.
The model was the bestselling electric vehicle in Europe last year, Nissan said. In the U.K., the Leaf's newest version has a recommended retail price starting at £27,995 . While electric vehicles are becoming the car of choice for an increasing number of drivers, they nevertheless face challenges, not least when it comes to perceptions surrounding range and charging infrastructure.
Efforts are being made to remedy this, however, and a number of major businesses are investing in charging infrastructure. In January, for example, Volvo Group Venture Capital, a subsidiary of the Volvo Group, invested in a company that specializes in the"high power wireless charging of electric vehicles."
The plan would see the introduction of 66 on-street charging points spread across 14 hubs, authorities said in a statement.
