Tesla Sales Fall By 49% In Europe Even As Electric Vehicle Market Grows

he second new vehicle to be launched in Europe in 2025 also represents the return of a historic nameplate, LEAF – a badge forever associated with the pioneering EV which started the mass-market electric vehicle revolution when it was introduced in 2010. The third generation of Leaf will attract buyers thanks to its eye-catching aerodynamic shape. It has been developed on Nissan's CMF-EV platform, architecture it shares with its larger sibling, the Ariya. The European version of the new LEAF will be manufactured at Nissan's state-of-the-art production facility in Sunderland, in the north-east of England. It forms part of Nissan's EV36Zero project– a blueprint that will transform Sunderland Plant into a flagship EV hub, bringing together electric vehicles, renewable energy and battery production.
