A quick charge option will allow it to recover 80 per cent of its charge in 40 minutes.&nbsp;

Also in 2018, an additional cost will provide a higher range, higher power performance version of the car.&nbsp;

Nissan is built with a&nbsp;&quot;revolutionary e-Pedal&quot; feature.The regenerative braking that is applied when the pedals are released&nbsp;allows single pedal driving and returns energy to the battery. The car will begin to accelerate when the pedal is kept down.&nbsp;

The car&#39;s interior is adorned with a 7-inch full-colour TFT touchscreen display featuring the new Safety Shield tech. The display shows what is going on around the car.&nbsp;

Nissan Leaf is expected to go on sale on October 2 in Japan. The deliveries are said to begin in January 2018 in the US, Canada, and Europe.&nbsp;

The Japanese company&#39;s up gradation of the existing car with better, stronger battery and longer range is said to be available at a price below the rival electric cars.&nbsp;

The company had introduced the Leaf in 2010 which emerged as the world&#39;s best selling Electric vehicle. However, it lost its fame after the release of new cars from<a href="http://www.wionews.com/science-tech/tesla-seeks-115-billion-to-help-fuel-model-3-launch-13449"> Tesla</a> and Chevy.
