About
Japanese Electric Vehicles Japan has been building mass-market electric cars for longer than almost anyone, which means the used market there is deep and the prices are sensible. Every electric vehicle in this collection was selected at auction by our own branch in Osaka, imported under our own licence, and complied in-house at our Dandenong workshop. What We Import The Nissan Leaf is the backbone of it, in 40 kWh form with around 250 km of realistic range, and as the long-range 62 kWh Leaf e+ at roughly 350 to 400 km. Early 24 kWh cars come through as well and are cheap to buy, though range is limited and more affected by age. We also see the e-NV200 electric van from time to time.

The trade-off is planning for longer trips, which is genuinely easier now than it was five years ago but still requires a little thought. Every vehicle is supplied with a Roadworthy Certificate, clear title, and the original Japanese export certificate and auction report, complied and prepared in our own workshop and signed off with a 35-point pre-delivery inspection.
