Nissan Electric Vehicle News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
Owning a vehicle comes with a lot of costs – there are the usual suspects like financing and insurance fees, as well as regular maintenance and repairs. Add in rising fuel prices and it can feel like your pay check disappears before it even hits your bank. And, if you are driving an older model year gas guzzler, it certainly might!
 
Instead, why not consider a preowned all-electric vehicle, like a 2015 Nissan Leaf SL? This battery-powered performer will not only excite you with its range and smooth performance, but it will also eradicate expensive gas station visits for as long as you own the car. 
 
 
The 2015 Leaf runs on a 24-kWh lithium-ion battery, which sends electricity to the 80 kW AC synchronous motor that produces 107 horsepower and 187-lb.-ft. of torque. Charging is managed by a 6.6-kWh charger, which restores a fully depleted battery in four hours when a 240-volt Level 2 charging station is used. DC quick-charging is also optional, which lets you recharge the battery to 80 percent of capacity in about 30 minutes at more than 500 CHAdeMO sites nationwide. The range on the 2015 Leaf SL is rated at 84 miles and will only cost you a few dollars in electricity costs – less than your daily premium take-out coffee. 
 
To learn more about the 2015 Leaf SL and how you can kiss traditional fossil fuels goodbye, contact us at Kirkland Nissan to schedule a test drive.
Seattle, in honor of Earth Day, which is less than a month away, why not consider slipping into something more eco-friendly, like a preowned 2015 Nissan Leaf SV? This all-electric vehicle is made for commuters in the PNW, boasting full plug-in performance and great range, allowing you to commute to work with zero emissions.
 
 
Under its sleek design, the Leaf is powered by an 80-kW electric motor, which draws power from its 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Combined, this provides drivers with 107 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque, along with a range of 84 miles on a single charge.
 
And, speaking of charging, the 2015 Nissan Leaf SV is equipped with a 6.6 kW on-board charger that can be used with any 220V power source. It can juice up a fully depleted battery in about five hours, which is faster than the base S trim.  
 
Inside the EV, the mid-range SV model sports a 7-inch display, six-speaker audio system, navigation, and the CARWINGS app integration. Cruise control is also standard, which complements the Leaf’s whisper quiet operation, and the recycled cloth upholstery is a nice touch as well.

2015 nissan leaf for sale in seattle washingtonAn unfair uncertainty often plagues the electric vehicle market with drivers overlooking the plug-in segment based on ill-advised myths of poor range, high electricity costs, and jarring on-road dynamics. But, Nissan has worked hard to change these negative notions with the availability of the 2015 Leaf SV. 
 
This plug-in performer is anything but unreliable, expensive or fickle. Instead, it's a great preowned EV well-suited for life in Seattle, delivering both efficiency and performance in equal measure.
 
Under its aerodynamic exterior, the 2015 Nissan Leaf SV's motor is powered by a 24-kWh lithium-ion battery, which outputs an impressive 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. With a front-wheel drivetrain, integrated Vehicle Dynamic Control System, and sturdy rack-and-pinion steering, this EV takes full command of the road, but with a whisper quiet operation that's smooth, engaged and refined.  
 
On a single charge, it yields an 84-mile range, which is enough to quell even the most anxious of commuters. And when it comes time for a charge, you won't be left with empty pockets either, since the 2015 Leaf can be refreshed for as little as three dollars in less than five hours. That's cheaper than your two-coffee-per-day habit!
 
See for yourself how efficiency and performance come together in the 2015 Leaf SV. To schedule your test drive, contact us at Kirkland Nissan today.
