Nissan Leaf is a vehicle generally for personal use which is manufactured by the organization Nissan few years back in 2010 and the first product was launched in japan and then the vehicle penetrated the markets of USA followed by Europe and various other parts of the world.

I have been quite convinced with the idea and I believe that the vehicle will go far with such ideas and make it big in the industry.
