Nissan ‘Switch Scheme’ launched to encourage electric vehicle adoption

Nissan is offering customers up to £2,000 plus trade-in value on their old vehicle to ‘switch’ into a 100 per cent electric, zero-emission Nissan LEAF.

The Nissan Switch Scheme, gives additional support to owners of cars and LCVs with pre-Euro 5 engines, to help them replace their vehicle with a zero-emission, 100 per cent electric LEAF, or one of Nissan’s new passenger cars.

Drivers of vehicles registered before the end of 2009 with a pre-Euro 5 engine will be eligible and will be able to receive up to £5,000, plus trade-in value for their current car, off a new Nissan model.

Or they can receive up to £2,000 plus vehicle trade-in value off of an approved-used Nissan LEAF 24kWh.

Alex Smith, managing director of Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd, commented: “Nissan’s campaign isn’t just about new cars. We’re including our latest efficient conventionally-powered models, but uniquely we’re delivering an attractive trade-in offer on our stock of approved-used all-electric LEAFs.”

The scheme will run until 30 September 2017 and is only available to UK residents, excluding the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
