Electric car grant boost for Nissan's new Leaf
The Journal
|November 22, 2025
THE new version of Nissan's trailblazing Leaf qualifies for the Government's Electric Car Grant scheme, offering drivers the full £3,750 discount.
The decision means the North East-built model joins 39 other models from major brands such as Ford, Vauxhall and Citroën. Workers at the Sunderland plant are preparing to produce the Leaf from next month.
With an extended range and new technology features, Nissan hopes the third generation Leaf will repeat the success of its predecessors - including the first iteration which became the world's first mass market electric car. Customers will begin to take receipt of the new Leaf from February.
