the parking brake (often known as the "handbrake" but clearly that never landed with the nissan design team) is foot operated
Maybe not often seen in Europe, but not unusual on Japanese and American market cars. Nowt to do with it being electric.
Americans tend to call any parking brake an "e-brake", for emergency, which makes zero sense.

Quite impressed with the Nissan Leaf today - nice to drive, the single pedal mode actually works and spacious enough inside for three people and a cello.
Range is joke though. 35 miles of average driving, including some motorway, saw an 80-something percent charge drop to 40. So you’re looking at an optimistic high 80 maybe 90 miles on a full charge. Rubbish.
oh yeah - the parking brake (often known as the "handbrake" but clearly that never landed with the nissan design team) is foot operated - sitting above and to the side of where a clutch would be. Its not visible from the driving position. A little bit wtf...
