Aronus Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Proof that an electric vehicle can be affordable, the Nissan Leaf is gasoline-free for under $30,000. That makes the transition from fuel pump to charging station easier to justify, but despite the Leaf's inexpensiveness, its drawbacks include a slower 50 kW DC fast-charging maximum capacity and a short 180 miles of range on a single charge according to our 75-mph highway test. A shorter range with slower charging is a recipe for frustration, but if your travel needs are close and local, the Leaf hatchback makes sense. For more driving range for roughly the same price, we'd suggest reading about the Hyundai Kona Electric and Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV. Nissan announced its plans to discontinue the Leaf, moving its focus and efforts to its more expensive and larger EV, the new Ariya. 2024 Nissan Leaf Review, Pricing, and Specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
