The second-gen leaf has been developed under Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility programme which has three pillars; Intelligent Power, Intelligent Driving and Intelligent Integration. 
First up is Intelligent Driving. By far the greatest development for the leaf comes in the form of Nissan’s e-Pedal. This switchable system increases the regenerative braking when you lift off the accelerator to 0.2g, or around four times a lot more than regular engine braking in a petrol or diesel car. It indicates you can deal with 90 per cent of driving using just the accelerator, Nissan claims.
