Loads of car makers doing it! BMW seems to be giving the biggest price cut. Just shows how these manufacturers were profiteering!

This is amazing that a Top Rated Footballer is Driving a Nissan Leaf for the Environment and not like some of his Team Mates with their Exotic Sports Cars - Dave 😉
Eden Michael Hazard (born 7 January 1991) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a winger or attacking midfielder for Spanish club Real Madrid and captains the Belgium national team.

My Life with a Nissan LEAF: Sparking change with Eden Hazard :

Whoops ! Then I found this from 2020 that the poor guy has or had a few other Cars 🥴 😋

Eden Hazard's car collection shows his very taste with an Audi R8 V10, an Aston Martin Vanquish, two Mercedes-Benz models, a Range Rover Sport and a BMW X6 SUV. He is a rather simple and conservative guy with a mild taste for extravagance. In fact, he prefers to stay under the radar and off the spotlight off the pitch as much as possible. But his move to Madrid means his life will come under intense media scrutiny as every media house wants a taste of his private life.

Audi Q8 ($68,200)
This is Hazard's most recent car as Real Madrid Auto Sponsor Audi gave the first team players and staff Audis of their choices. Hazard would opt for this fresh Audi Q8 that is priced at $68,200, which is a pretty sensible choice considering he is married with 3 kids and we know the Q8 fits the family bill with its spacious interior and three-row seats. The Q8 comes with an All-Wheel Drivetrain that utilizes power from a 3.0 Liter Turbocharged V6 engine that pumps out 335 hp and 369 lb-ft torque.

Audi R8 V10 - ($134,000)
The Audi R8 manufactured by German Automaker Audi AG was first introduced in 2006 and offers two engine options, a 4.2 Liter V8 engine or a 5.2 Liter V10 engine which is found in Hazard's ride. This 2-seater, the mid-engined sports car has a market value of about $134,000, an equivalent of about N48.6 million.

Aston Martin Vanquish - ($264,000)
The Aston Martin Vanquish was first introduced in 2001 as a successor to the famous Aston Martin Vantage. It comes with a V12 engine as standard and two options of transmission. In earlier generations, the 6-speed automatic transmission came standard but the most recent generation offers either a 6 speed automatic or an 8-speed Touchtronic III automatic transmission. The first generation engine was 5.9 Liter V12 could deliver about 460 hp while the second generation engines which Hazard's car falls in, is still a 5.9 Liter V12 but one that delivers better performance, putting out a solid 565 hp and 457 lb⋅ft torque. To have this sport machine in his garage, Eden Hazard had to pay for a cool $264,000 which is about N95.7 million.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GTR - ($130,000)
Obviously, Hazard has a somewhat well taste in cars, he comes off as being conservative but still loves them fast but classy, maybe not so extravagant. The AMG GTR is classy owing to the Mercedes-Benz brand but not so extravagant and not so cheap either when you consider its worth a good $130,000 or N47 million. The GTR was introduced in 2016 as a high-performance version of the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT. The sports car comes with a 4.0 Liter V8 M178 engine that delivers 577 hp and 516 lb-ft torque while hitting the 0-62 mph in just 3.6 seconds.

Other Cars
The other cars in Hazard's car collection include a BMW X6 which is valued at $79,000, a Range Rover Sport valued at $80,000, an Audi RS4 Avant which costs about $80,000 and the cheapest of all, a Mercedes-Benz C Class which cost nothing less than $42,000. Eden was also seen arriving at a Nike event in London last year, in a McLaren 12C supercar. We've not seen him drive that car ever since, so we assume it was a promotional ride just to hype the event and advertise the car especially to such a group of super-wealthy footballers. Check out the photos of the McLaren 12C and Hazard's other cars below.

Now it’s Pep with the Leaf - “Just like his passion for his work on the football pitch, Pep Guardiola – Manchester City F.C. manager, Nissan LEAF owner and Nissan Global Ambassador – reveals his excitement and anticipation for the electric vehicle revolution, describing the unique thrills and sense of pride offered by zero-emissions mobility.” - Dave 😋

Sebastien has now been used for a Leaf Ad which I suppose is OK as he is on Nissan’s Pay Books - Dave 😉

“In true testament to the satisfaction of zero-emission mobility, Nissan discovers European EV drivers are going the extra mile. In fact, on average they are annually travelling 630 clean kilometres1,2 (km) further than European internal combustion engine (ICE) drivers according to recent research commissioned by the automaker.” - Dave 🤨

Here is the Daily Mail report covering the same subject - Dave 😊
Nissan claims electric car owners across Europe are already covering more miles annually than those driving petrol and diesel cars, despite continued concerns about range anxiety. The average electric vehicle user travels 391 miles (630 kilometres) more each year than those with cars with combustion engines, according to the Japanese car maker's research.

.
I'm going to say that the way this is calculated is suspect.
My partner has a 40kWh Leaf and has covered nearly 2000 miles since last November.
I have covered approximately 7000 miles in the same time period.
Perhaps the data is for households where the Leaf is the only available vehicle.
