This move is in line with the companies’ strategy to expand the rapid charging network on the nation’s motorways.
Nissan managing director Jim Wright said that the company is working to ensure that 100% electric driving becomes accessible for all UK motorists and the installation of a rapid charging network on the motorway offers EV ownership to thousands more motorists.
"The UK’s charging landscape is improving daily, and we are very proud to be the main power source driving the development of infrastructure that will ultimately provide further flexibility and peace of mind to our LEAF drivers," added Wright.
Currently, Welcome Break service stations have around 16 rapid chargers, with plans to install at the majority of Welcome Break sites by April 2014.
The newly unveiled EV chargers have increased the total number of rapid chargers to 97 in the UK.
