We have yet to launch them in the showrooms but our electric cars are already winning awards.
The Alliance EVs are the editor’s choice in this year’s Green Awards run by What Car?, the leading UK consumer motoring magazine.
The Editor’s Award is made by magazine chief Steve Fowler who said: “The electric car has come of age – and that’s down to the Renault-Nissan Alliance. While other manufacturers are still making plans and running trials, Renault and Nissan have beaten them to the punch with proper electric cars you’ll actually be able to buy and run by this time next year. You’ll want one, too."
Fowler added that cars such as the Nissan Leaf and Renault Fluence will change people’s perceptions of electric motoring for good.
We think that electric cars can be stylish, safe and have room for all the family. They can even be fun and Fowler agreed, saying: “We’ve already driven the production version of the Leaf, and it’ll certainly bring a smile to your face. Performance is strong and the car handles securely, but the most enjoyment comes from knowing what’s coming out of the tailpipe – precisely nothing. In fact, there is no tailpipe!”
The next few years will see many electric cars coming to market, but Fowler said they will all be playing catch-up with the Alliance.
