If you are the kind of person who is always looking for ways to better our planet, consider investing in a 2016 Nissan Leaf SV. Biodegradable straws aren’t the only way to help conservation efforts. Choosing to drive an electric vehicle (EV) is an incredibly impactful decision that drastically reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
So, how does the Leaf work? A 30 kWh lithium-ion battery pack powers the 80-kW motor. Producing 107 hp and 187 pound-feet of torque, this innovative model has a driving range of 84 to 107 miles. A 6.6 kW cable is can be found onboard for quick charging. Using this handy plug-in will have your energy stores back up to 80% in about 30 minutes.
The SV trim level includes 17-inch alloy wheels and an upgraded heating system that is perfect for the bitter winter months in the Pacific Northwest. The chain is decked in partially recycled cloth upholstery and features advanced functions like NissanConnect. The navigation system and rearview camera are both displayed on a 7-in monitor that operates with Bluetooth connectivity.
