After careful deliberation of their options, the Nissan Leaf was chosen as the official green car by Microsoft UK, the first electric car o join its staff company car scheme.
The Leaf will feel welcomed and at home at Nissan UK's headquarters, as two quick charging stations have been installed there. The first Leaf you see here is going to be used Alex Kureen, Microsoft UK’s partner/channel marketing manager.

Katie Colledge-Price, Microsoft UK’s car benefits manager said: “As you can imagine at a software company, when we announced the vehicle trial list we were overwhelmed with staff interest in an advanced piece of technology like the Nissan Leaf."

“During the trial the Leaf received consistently positive feedback for how enjoyable and calming it is to drive as well as being a comfortable family vehicle. We have installed charging points at our Reading HQ to encourage staff to consider electric vehicles to help reduce our carbon footprint so we’re now looking forward to welcoming more Leafs to Microsoft UK," he added.

Microsoft is also showing its support of the British economy, as the Leaf is now assembled in Sunderland.
