Benefits of electric

Offering an all-electric range of between 168 and 329 miles

With a fully electric Nissan vehicle, you’ll enjoy a quieter, more serene drive while saving money and contributing towards a sustainable future. Not only that, the instant torque on electric cars means swifter acceleration and more dynamic performance.

Government incentives – electric vehicles are subject to a number of government-funded grants, including help with home-charging installation.
icon of money
Low running costs – not only is a 100% electric vehicle very affordable to run, it’s cheaper to maintain than any other type of car. This is because an EV’s drivetrain features fewer working parts than a regular combustion engine.
icon of leaves - environmental benefits
Environmental benefits – zero CO2 and NOx emissions on pure electric models means eco-friendly motoring.

        FAQs

        When making the switch to an electrified vehicle you’re sure to have some questions. We’ve answered some of the most frequent below, but please get in touch if you have any further queries.​

        Which is best: electric or hybrid?

        Close

        This depends on your everyday driving patterns and personal preferences. For impartial advice based on your particular motoring needs, please get in touch with your local Renault Retail Group team today.​

        Which is the most environmentally friendly type of motor car?

        Close

        A fully electric vehicle, such as the Nissan Leaf or Nissan Ariya, is the most environmentally friendly vehicle. These cars produce no harmful CO2 or NOx emissions. ​​

        I wish to buy a mild hybrid or full hybrid vehicle – will I need to charge it?

        Close

        No, mild and full hybrid vehicles are self-charging, meaning the battery is charged by the engine and via regenerative braking, which captures energy and stores it. ​​

        Is it more expensive to service a hybrid or electric vehicle than a regular car?

        Close

        No. In fact, an electric vehicle typically requires less maintenance because its drivetrain is comprised of fewer working parts.
