Earlier this year, we shared a story about a Polish traveler named Arkady PaweÅ‚ Fiedler, who took a Nissan Leaf on a first-ever EV expedition across Africa. The trip was documented as part of the Electric Explorer African Challenge 2018 with photography by Albert WÃ³jtowicz, who joined Fiedler on his trip.

Just this week, Nissan shared another story of a globetrotting Leaf EV. This time, Polish adventurer, Marek KamiÅ„ski, recently completed a two-month journey in the plug-in vehicle, driving 13,000 kilometers from Poland to Dongfeng Nissan's Intelligent Mobility Experience Center in Beijing. He made stops through Kaliningrad, Lithuania, Russia and Siberia, Mongolia, China, and South Korea.

KamiÅ„ski's project, known as the No Trace Expedition, was created as a way to bring awareness to electric vehicles and how they are well-designed to travel long distances beyond their traditional urban confines. As an environmentalist, the adventurerâ€™s project also highlighted the benefits of all-electric powertrains and their positive effects on the earth.

The 2018 Leafâ€™s extended range of 150 miles made it easier for KamiÅ„ski to complete his passage, along with the vehicleâ€™s latest tech, like ProPILOT Assist, which is an advanced autonomous driver assist feature.Â

"I've been using ProPILOT on new Nissan Leaf, and it worked perfectly under all kinds of driving conditions during the expedition," said KamiÅ„ski in the press release. "The Nissan ProPILOT is energy-saving for long-distance driving. Of course, I still prefer to drive on my own, so I only activate the Nissan ProPILOT when I need some rest."

Where will the Leaf travel to next? Anywhere is possible! If youâ€™d like to hit the open road in the worldâ€™s best-selling EV, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, for a test drive.
