Nissan's Leaf EV has become part of a new tourism promotion in Japan, through the launch of a Leaf sharing service aimed at helping tourists better explore the "onsen", or hot springs, and other natural features. The company is also offering discounts on its electric car to encourage more people to buy one.
Nissan's Leaf EV has become part of a new tourism promotion in Japan, through the launch of a Leaf sharing service aimed at helping tourists better explore the "onsen", or hot springs, and other natural features.
