Third generation Nissan LEAF wins Company Car and Van 'Car to Watch' award ahead of UK deliveries
By Eve
The all-electric third generation Nissan LEAF, now in production at the Sunderland plant, has been named 'Car to Watch' for 2026 by Company Car and Van magazine. The model offers a maximum range of up to 386 miles and has won multiple awards including The Sun's Car of the Year before UK customer deliveries begin. Editor Andrew Walker cited generous pricing, excellent range, clever technology and decent handling as reasons for the award.
Why it matters
Fleet adoption of the British built LEAF with its 386 mile range will drive workplace and depot charging demand, particularly as company car schemes accelerate electrification. The model's competitive pricing and range position it to expand the addressable market for destination and en route charging infrastructure across the UK.

Nissan confirms 300 kW Navara Pro PHEV for Australia in 2027 with 2.0 litre turbo and eight speed automatic
Nissan Australia announced on 8 October 2026 that the Navara Pro Plug in Hybrid will launch in 2027, making Australia and New Zealand the first right hand drive markets for the electrified ute. The Australian specification uses a 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with an eight speed automatic transmission and integrated electric motor, delivering a preliminary 300 kW and 800 Nm through a four wheel drive system. This differs from the Chinese market Frontier Pro, which uses a 1.5 litre engine with a four speed dedicated hybrid transmission producing 320 kW.
Why it matters
The arrival of a 300 kW plug in hybrid ute in Australia signals growing electrification in the commercial and fleet vehicle segment, which will drive demand for workplace and depot charging infrastructure capable of supporting heavier duty vehicles. Procurement teams and charge point operators should monitor fleet adoption timelines as ute electrification accelerates across Oceania markets from 2027.
Nissan Leaf owner on gas loaner highlights EV cost and idling advantages during buyback
A 2020 Nissan Leaf driver in a buyback process reported spending 40 US dollars every few days on fuel for a petrol loaner, compared to free workplace charging for their EV. Posting to the r/ElectricVehicles subreddit, they said idling with climate control in the loaner feels wasteful, whereas the same behaviour in the Leaf had no perceived cost. The account, shared by The Cool Down, underscores operational cost differences that influence driver behaviour.
Why it matters
The testimony reinforces the total cost of ownership argument for workplace charging infrastructure, showing that free or low cost electricity can shift user habits and strengthen EV retention. For CPOs and fleet operators, it highlights how charging access directly affects driver satisfaction and the perceived value of electric mobility.
Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback EV launches at $37,745, $8,000 above Nissan LEAF twin
Mitsubishi has priced its 2027 Eclipse Sportback EV from $37,745 ($39,740 with destination fee), nearly $8,000 more than the base Nissan LEAF S+ despite sharing the same 75 kWh liquid cooled battery platform. The Eclipse Sportback offers 282 miles EPA range compared to 303 miles for the LEAF S+, with both models featuring native NACS ports for Tesla Supercharger access. The vehicle goes on sale this month as Mitsubishi re-enters the US EV market after discontinuing the i-MiEV in 2017.
Why it matters
The shared platform between Nissan and Mitsubishi EVs signals potential for standardised charging infrastructure requirements across alliance brands, while the native NACS port adoption reinforces the shift towards Tesla connector compatibility that CPOs must accommodate. The price premium for lower range may influence fleet procurement decisions where cost per mile matters.
