A practical electric car in Kenya | Nissan Leaf Review

The original Nissan Leaf was among the very first mainstream electric cars to go on sale. It was such a pioneer, in fact, that by the time other manufacturers caught up and started offering EVs, Nissan was already on to this second-generation Leaf.
The first gen Nissan Leafs weren't so great. Kenyans most likely had these as their first interaction with an electric car, probably from a ride in the electric car taxi company, Nopea.
The Leaf Mk2 is available with two battery options. The first is a 40kWh battery, while the second is a 62kWh battery offered from 2019 onwards in the Leaf-e model. You can expect a range of up to about 140 miles from the smaller battery, or 210 miles from Leaf-e, which represent solid but not class-leading numbers.

Electricity is too expensive in Kenya for electric vehicles if we're being honest. You can also survive with a thousand Bob on non-electric in a week. I would recommend getting a non-plugging hybrid for that amount of money. Great review though 💯
