UK predicted to be the biggest market in Europe for electric vehicles, Nissan is expecting to sell 100,000 of its LEAF product here by 2015.
The public can see the car under the O2 tent until early next year when it will embark on a nationwide tour.
Editor-in-chief of What Car?, Steve Fowler said, “Electric cars will play a huge part in our motoring future – not only because they make sense environmentally, but, as Nissan’s LEAF has proved, they do all the normal things you need your car to do and will put a smile on your face, too.
Pure electric vehicles have been talked about for some time, but we’re now reaching a genuine tipping point where they become a credible option for a large number of people.”
The free exhibition also features driving simulators, a virtual car design programme and interactive games that show visitors of all ages how electric vehicles can change the way people will drive and live in the future.
