Electric machines have made immense strides in recent years and are now better than ever. Nowhere is that more evident than with the 2019 LEAF SV PLUS. This is Nissan’s latest EV (electric vehicle) and one that is utterly spectacular in the way it generates superlative performance.
This EV is seriously impressive. It comes with an electric motor and a brand-new 62-kWh battery pack that eclipses the capability of the outgoing 40-kWh unit. In sum, it offers a total range of 152 miles and can charge up from “empty†in only 11.5 hours. This means you’ll be able to roll around Seattle, Renton, and Kirkland without worrying about running out of juice.
The 2019 LEAF SV PLUS’s tandem of motor and battery generate 214 total horses, which is a huge increase from 147 on the outgoing model. As a result, you’ll be able to go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 7.0 seconds. Also, the inclusion of Nissan’s e-Pedal technology means you’ll be able to operate the vehicle (acceleration and braking) with only one pedal, should you so choose.
