Nissan Formula E launch tour gets a spark from Margot Robbie

Nissan continued its Formula E launch tour in Los Angeles with an event led by the company’s electric vehicle and sustainability ambassador, actress Margot Robbie.

The Academy Award-nominated actress spoke at yesterday's event about her experience driving an electric vehicle in the city, and about her pride in serving as an ambassador for Nissan’s electric vehicles.

"I’ve already seen many of Nissan’s initiatives, designed to bring cleaner air to roads and fairer access to power across the globe. And now, we have this – a fantastic new Formula E car," said the Aussie.

"I’m excited to see how it will help Nissan develop its EV offering further and bring new and exciting technologies to communities across the world."

Nissan - which will make its debut in the all-electric series 2018/19 season with its next generation racer - is the first Japanese manufacturer to enter Formula E.
