Nissan's Sunderland plant marked its 250,000 LEAF production milestone with a festive-themed stunt.
The North East factory lit up its 32-foot Christmas tree and reindeer models using its V2X technology, which can turn the car into a mobile power bank. The landmark comes more than 10 years after electric vehicle production launched at the plant.
The manufacturer was keen to show off its V2X system to media, which is yet to be available for UK consumers but is being marketed in other parts of the world. The technology provides 'vehicle-to-grid' capabilities that can also turn the car into an energy hub which could feed a building or other devices when needed.
