THURROCK mayor Steve Liddiard is showing off his green credentials with a switch to an allelectric car – the Nissan Leaf.
The decision to go for to the car, which costs 2p a mile to run, came after a test drive.
He said: “As soon as I stepped into the Nissan Leaf, I was hooked.” So he traded in his diesel car to save cash and make official travel more environmentally friendly.
The car was handed over by Darren Smith, Nissan Leaf specialist, at Toomey Nissan Basildon.
