    A 32-foot Christmas tree and its shimmering reindeer are being powered by the vehicle's battery with the help of V2X technology. Thus, showing the ability of the EV to act as a mobile power plant.

    Alan Johnson, Vice President Manufacturing at Nissan Sunderland Plant, said: "Passing a quarter of a million Nissan LEAF is a tremendous milestone, and demonstrates the electric vehicle manufacturing expertise we have built up at our plant over the past decade.

    "This year we have completely electrified the plant's line-up with the new versions of Qashqai and Juke launched, so lighting up the Christmas tree with our original EV is a spectacular and appropriate way to end 2022."
