Nissan Electric Vehicle News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
used nissan leaf dealership near kent newcastle renton washingtonWell-reviewed for its quiet and smooth operation, plus spacious cabin that can seat five, the 2012 Nissan Leaf SL has become a top contender for Seattle area drivers wanting a more eco-conscious ride. Best of all, you can’t beat this platform’s price. For less than $8,000, all-electric driving can be your reality.
 
Running on an 80-kilowatt motor and a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the 2012 Leaf creates 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque, providing ample power at your disposal. Range on this model is also favorable, ringing in at 73 miles when fully charged. When it’s time to refresh the battery, a depleted pack will need 7 to 10 hours to juice back up. Most EV drivers choose to charge their cars overnight to limit downtime.
 
Part of the Leaf’s allure is its silent operation that you’ll notice as soon as you pull away from the curb. On the road, it provides solid handling with little road feel or body roll for a relaxed ride that drives more like a conventional vehicle. The SL’s standard features are notable, too, with 16-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth capability, navigation and a six-speaker audio system.

Consider a 2016 Nissan Leaf SV! This preowned model boasts solid crash test scores, as well as key standard equipment for your peace of mind.
 
When the U.S. News & World Report reviewed the 2016 Leaf, they gave the vehicle a glowing 8.2 out of a possible 10 for safety. What sealed their confidence in the EV is its solid scores, including Good ratings in four out of five Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crashworthiness categories. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also gave the Leaf an overall four out of five stars, plus four stars in frontal, side and rollover crash tests.
 
Part of what makes the Leaf SV so safe is its standard inclusions. On this trim level, you’ll benefit from antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front side airbags and side curtain airbags. The SV boasts a rearview camera to avoid pesky accidents in parking lots as well. To help you always find your way, this model is equipped with a navigation system.

If you’ve been skeptical about the drivability and range offered by an all-electric vehicle, consider giving the 2016 Nissan Leaf SL a try. This eco-friendly option is fully battery powered and boasts a 107-mile range, which is more than adequate for commuting or booting around Seattle, Washington.
 
 
Under its stylish exterior design lies an 80-kW motor, which generates power from the Leaf’s 30 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Combined, this allows the EV to deliver 107 horsepower and 187 lb of torque, and it can reach 60 mph in just 10.2 seconds flat. 
 
Charging is managed by the Leaf SL’s quick-charge port, which comes standard and can be used with a high-power station to recharge the battery to 80 percent capacity in 30 minutes. However, if you are charging at home, the 6.6 kW charger and 30kWh battery take about five hours, which is reasonable for most drivers.
 
And seeing that the SL is a top-level trim, Nissan didn’t skimp on the details. Automatic headlights, foglights and a solar panel for efficient device charging are all included, as is leather upholstery, heated seats (even in the rear), and a cargo cover to keep your purchases secure.

If creeping fuel prices are dragging you down or you worry about the damage your old gas-guzzling sedan is causing the environment, quell your discomfort with a preowned 2013 Nissan Leaf SV. This all-electric plug-in runs solely on battery power, thus eliminating gas station visits and harmful emissions for as long as you own the vehicle.
 
 
The 2013 Leaf is powered by a 24-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, which is neatly hidden under the car’s floor. It generates power to the 80-kilowatt electric motor and produces a respectable 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque. Even with its battery power, the Leaf EV is relatively quick off the line. According to The Car Connection, it achieves a 0 to 60 mph jaunt in 10 seconds and maxes out at 90 mph to conserve energy. Now, this is not "track star" performance, but it’s adequate for daily driving around Seattle, Kirkland and Auburn.
 
As for the 2013 Leaf SV’s range, you can expect to achieve 84 miles before you need to stop for a battery refresh using the standard onboard 6.6-kilowatt charger. In about four hours, you’ll be up and running again. The Leaf’s smartphone app makes it easy to manage your charging times, so you don’t have to stand around waiting. It will alert you when the EV is juiced up and ready to roll.
