Currently reading: UK-built Nissan Leaf in "very strong position" for new EV grant

Sunderland-built crossover is set to benefit from new incentive – but UK boss denies rules were written for Nissan

The boss of Nissan has said the new, Sunderland-built Leaf is in "a very strong position" to benefit from the maximum £3750 Electric Car Grant (ECG) – and that the government was right to draw up rules that reward British manufacturing.

The ECG will be available on EVs that cost £37,000 or less and meet science-based targets for emissions, both from its maker and the country in which it is manufactured.
