Nissan Electric Vehicle News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
Do you have exciting summer day trips planned, but are on a modest budget? If so, consider a preowned 2015 Nissan Leaf S as your getaway car. This plug-in performer is not only cost-effective to purchase and own, but its all-electric powertrain eliminates the need for expensive gas station visits, making it an affordable vehicle to drive around the PNW.
 
 
Pop the “hood” and you won’t find a gas-powered engine in the Leaf, but a charging port that juices up the 24-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack. This component sends electricity to the EV’s 80-kW electric motor, which generates power to the front wheels. With each acceleration, you’ll enjoy 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque, which is quite impressive for a plug-in vehicle. 
 
On a single charge, you can expect to achieve a total range of 84 miles or an EPA city/highway fuel economy equivalent of 126/101 mpge. When you need to juice up the battery, the standard 3.6 kW onboard charger can get you up and running in eight hours, but a faster-charging 6.6 kW version is available. And the cost of charging? Well, it’s about the same as your two-cup-a-day take-out coffee habit, only running you a few dollars in electricity costs. How’s that for affordable?
