Dear Darby,
I’ve been saving up to get the new 2018 Nissan Leaf, and I’m finally ready to buy! How far does it go before needing more juice?
Thanks,
Celeste
This is the perfect year to invest in an environmentally-friendly car. The new 2018 Nissan Leaf is better than ever with upgraded electronics and a longer driving range.
Powered by a 110-kW fully electric motor fed by a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, this nifty hatchback can travel for up to 151 miles. You can head off on the weekends to Mt. Rainer National Park for a quick getaway. The onboard 6.6 kWh cable makes replenishing the energy stores easy. You can be back to 80% in as little as 30 minutes.
If you opt for the SV trim level, it will include safety features such as blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning/intervention, and adaptive cruise control. All of these functions work in unison to help prevent accidents on the road. They come in quite handy on road trips.
