We said that the electric Nissan Leaf had a range of 235 miles and that you could drive the 400 miles from London to Edinburgh with one stop to get a recharge of 80% (“Nissan’s all-electric Leaf is charging ahead of the crowd”, Magazine, 8 July, page 41).
Between the writing and publication of the article, estimates changed because of the introduction of a different testing protocol aimed at harmonising tests worldwide. Under the new protocol, the vehicle has a range of 168 miles, so that driving to Edinburgh would require two recharging stops.
