Nissan begins limited test-drives for Leaf EV


Nissan Motor on Friday kicked off a week-long test-drive event for its Leaf electriccar, saying it had a combined 20,000 orders in Japan and the United States six months before the car goes on sale.

Japan’s No. 3 automaker is inviting 500 journalists, shareholders, government officials, and some customers who have placed reservations to drive the five-seater hatchback at its test track near Tokyo in an exclusive preview through June 19.
