Tokyo, Oct. 8 (Jiji Press)–Nissan Motor Co. said Wednesday that it will start accepting orders for the third-generation Leaf electric vehicle in Japan on Oct. 17. The new model can travel 702 kilometers on a single battery charge, about 50 pct more than the second-generation Leaf. The Japanese automaker positions the Leaf as the next mainstay car, encouraging consumers to switch from gasoline-powered or gas-electric hybrid vehicles. Nissan already launched the new model in the United States in late September and plans to do so in Europe in spring 2026. The company has sold over 700,000 units of the Leaf globally since its first-generation model was released in 2010 as the world’s first mass-market EV. END [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.]
