Hi Robert,

Iâ€™m thinking about upgrading my car and the 2018 Nissan LEAF has caught my attention. I donâ€™t know a lot about electric vehicles, and Iâ€™m wondering if using things like the air conditioning would reduce this modelâ€™s range.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi, Michael!

The 2018 Nissan LEAFÂ is a fantastic vehicle which you can only truly appreciate after you've driven one. It's correct that using electronic features on this model, such as the air conditioning system, will reduce the vehicle's range. Here's why:

This model's lithium-ion battery powers everything that the LEAF does. So, if you use this energy to do things other than propelling the car, it ultimately takes away from its range.

You can set the air conditioning in this model to activate while the vehicle is charging. So, when you get in, the cabin will already be at your desired temperature.Â This means the power to heat or cool the car will be taken directly from theÂ power point that itâ€™s connected to and not the carâ€™s battery.

Thanks for your question, Michael! Why not call down to Kirkland Nissan, Washington and take this model out for a test drive?
