Thinking of making the switch to plug-in power, but you donâ€™t want to invest a whole lot in case itâ€™s not for you? The preowned market is filled with quality EV models to get your feet wet, like this 2011 Nissan Leaf SL. With its affordable used pricing and all-electric powertrain, this platform is a solid introduction to the segment.

The 2011 Leaf is powered by an 80-kilowatt synchronous electric motor thatâ€™s generated by a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack to make 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. With this combination, the EV can travel up to 100 miles on a single charge, which is an energy efficiency equivalent rating of 106/92 mpg city/highway. Charging needs about 4 to 8 hours using a household 220-volt line, but opting for the quick-charge port will have you back up to 80 percent capacity in 30 minutes at a public charging station.

Inside the cabin, the Leafâ€™s hatchback design makes for a roomy interior, providing no shortage of legroom. The supportive seats are also comfortable and made from recycled materials, which add to the EVâ€™s eco-appeal. Youâ€™ll love the standard features on the SL trim too, which include a spoiler-mounted solar panel, automatic headlamps,Â foglamps and a rearview camera. This model is also equipped with Bluetooth and navigation for your convenience.

To see if plug-in power is for you, contact Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington, to take a used Leaf for a spin.

If youâ€™ve test driven the Toyota Prius or the Kia Optima Hybrid, but are holding out for a fully electric vehicle, consider the 2011 Nissan Leaf SV as your plug-in powered ride. This car is what started the EV craze in North America and has spawned two well-received generations since its unveiling in 2011.

Unlike conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, the Leaf runs on an 80-kilowatt synchronous electric motor that is generated by a 24kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which is hidden under the cabin floor. Combined, this allows the EV to put out 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque, while also reaching a range of 100 miles on a single charge. If you are a numbers person, that equates to an EPA equivalent of 106 mpg city and 92 mpg highway. For most Seattle area commuters and weekend errand runners, the Leafâ€™s range more than suffices.

On the exterior, the SV trim looks sharp with 16-inch alloy wheels and LED headlamps. Inside, full power accessories are found throughout the cabin, while keyless ignition/entry and cruise control cut down on tedious tasks. For your comfort, the height-adjustable driver seat is complemented by a tilt-only steering wheel and automatic climate controls. Bluetooth is also standard on this trim level.

This fall, slip into something more eco-friendly by purchasing a preowned Leaf from our team at Kirkland Nissan in the Seattle, Washington, area. To schedule your test, call us today.

In 2011, Nissan shook the automotive industry with the unveiling of the Leaf - an all-electric vehicle powered by laminated compact lithium-ion batteries designed for mass-market appeal. Since then, popularity has grown, spawning several generations and earning the title of best-selling EV.Â

And today, we're taking a look back to the first-gen 2011 Leaf SL-e, which is available for sale on our preowned lot. Just think - you could own a piece of history!

Under its sleek design, which has been aerodynamically engineered to reduce drag, the 2011 Leaf SL-e is powered by a 24kWh Lithium-ion-manganese-graphite battery pack, which powers the 80kW motor and produces 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Recharging at home with a 220-volt charger will take 4-8 hours, but, according to Edmunds, a commercial quick-charge station can drop that time down to 30 minutes. Fully juiced, the Leaf promises a range of 100 miles, which is about a third of the cruising range available in a conventional car, but that compromise comes with zero gas costs.

And even though this is a 2011 model, it still comes well-equipped with some cool features that aren't always found on current model year vehicles. That's because the Leaf has always been ahead of its time, bringing innovations to the masses. This includes a standard spoiler-mounted solar panel, which stores the sun's energy for future use, and a rearview camera that makes maneuvering through parking lots a breeze. What's more, every Leaf comes standard with Nissan Connection, which is a remote vehicle access system that reports battery recharging data and can activate the climate control via a smartphone.Â
