Nissan Leaf Review

The Nissan Leaf is an innovative fully electric car that has been setting records since it was launched in 2010. As the name implies, it’s an eco friendly car that aims to leave a minimal ecological footprint that’s comparable to the falling of the leaf. In Kenya, we are yet to adopt electric cars let alone hybrids. The infrastructure and laws required to stimulate their adoption are non existent.

It’s only a matter of time before we start seeing more and more of them. You can Read more on why electric cars are gaining traction in Kenya here.
