Nissan Electric Vehicle News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
Each year, April 22nd marks Earth Day across North America – an important celebration where we honor our environment, look for new ways to incorporate sustainability into our daily lives and give the Earth some TLC with community clean-up initiatives. If you’ve been looking for a way to make your commute greener this year, consider a 2015 Nissan Leaf as your next eco-friendly vehicle.
 
Under its sleek and stylish exterior rests an 80 kW AC synchronous electric motor with a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery that generates 107 horses and 187 lb-ft of torque. Charging the EV takes about eight hours with the base 3.6 kW onboard charger, but you can upgrade to a 6.6 kW version, which will reduce the battery refresh time to five hours. 
 
 
Inside, the interior of the S trim is nicely appointed with heated seats throughout the cabin and a 4.3-inch display, which gives a clear view as you back out of parking spaces using the standard rearview camera. Bluetooth connectivity also enables hands-free calling, while premium sound is delivered via the four-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with USB and auxiliary inputs.
 
This Earth Day, call a 2015 Nissan Leaf S your own. To schedule your test drive in this preowned EV, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington to compare pricing and specs.
A distinctive design, whisper-quiet zero-emissions performance and an especially roomy interior have all earned the 2017 Nissan Leaf serious acclaim from automotive journalists and drivers alike. If you haven’t test driven one, we suggest you check out the SL trim level, which boasts impressive range from its plug-in-powered motor.
 
Unlike traditional vehicles that utilize expensive gasoline, the 2017 Nissan Leaf SL is electrified by a 30-kWh battery which supplies energy to the 80-kW AC synchronous motor. Together, they generate 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque, and can go 107 miles on a single charge. When it comes time to refresh the battery, the Leaf is equipped with a 6.6-kW onboard charger that can renew a fully depleted battery in about four hours from a 240-volt Level 2 charging station. 
 
 
On the exterior, the SL trim boasts stylish LED headlights, which use little energy for illumination, and an aerodynamic body that reduces drag. Inside, the Leaf comes equipped with leather heated seats throughout, a NissanConnect 7-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth connectivity for your comfort and convenience. A surround-view camera system and premium Bose stereo system are optional add-ons as well.

Owning a vehicle comes with a lot of costs – there are the usual suspects like financing and insurance fees, as well as regular maintenance and repairs. Add in rising fuel prices and it can feel like your pay check disappears before it even hits your bank. And, if you are driving an older model year gas guzzler, it certainly might!
 
Instead, why not consider a preowned all-electric vehicle, like a 2015 Nissan Leaf SL? This battery-powered performer will not only excite you with its range and smooth performance, but it will also eradicate expensive gas station visits for as long as you own the car. 
 
 
The 2015 Leaf runs on a 24-kWh lithium-ion battery, which sends electricity to the 80 kW AC synchronous motor that produces 107 horsepower and 187-lb.-ft. of torque. Charging is managed by a 6.6-kWh charger, which restores a fully depleted battery in four hours when a 240-volt Level 2 charging station is used. DC quick-charging is also optional, which lets you recharge the battery to 80 percent of capacity in about 30 minutes at more than 500 CHAdeMO sites nationwide. The range on the 2015 Leaf SL is rated at 84 miles and will only cost you a few dollars in electricity costs – less than your daily premium take-out coffee.

If you have a craving for a new vehicle that combines technology with zero-emissions performance, a 2018 Nissan Leaf S should be at the top of your test driving list. 
 
 
This EV eliminates the need for expensive gas station fill-ups since it’s powered by a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, boasting an EPA-rated range of 150 miles or 112 MPGe combined. The Leaf S also features a 110-kW AC synchronous electric motor, providing power to the front wheels and generating 147 horses and 236 lb-ft of torque.
 
Charging is managed by the 6.6-kW onboard charger, which takes approximately 40 minutes to refresh the battery to 80 percent when equipped with the 50-kW CHAdeMO DC fast charger. This is a huge improvement over previous models – now, in a 2018 Leaf, you experience less downtime and more emissions-free mileage. 
 
What’s more, the next-gen Leaf offers improved technology, making it smarter than ever. As you motor around Seattle or the PNW, the Traffic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC) system will automatically sense vehicles in front of you and adjust your speed accordingly.

A distinctive design, silent operation and a roomy cabin make the 2017 Nissan Leaf SL unlike any other vehicle on Seattle’s roads. If you’ve been thinking of slipping into something more efficient, consider test driving a preowned model at Kirkland Nissan.
 
 
Powered by a 107-horsepower 80-kw electric motor, the 2017 Leaf produces 187 lb-ft of torque without a single drop of gasoline. This EV draws its energy from a 30-kwh battery, which is neatly tucked under the cabin’s floor, and can be recharged from a fully depleted status within five hours using a 240-volt plug. All told, this will net you 107 miles of range or about $3 in charging costs. Expensive gas station visits are history with this plug-in as your eco-friendly chariot.
 
The Leaf’s sleek body is aero-driven in order to maximize efficiency, while the hatchback design offers acres of rooms inside the cabin. The back seat offers ample stretch out space for two adults (or three in a pinch), thanks to its 106.3-inch wheelbase. Even the Leaf's cargo area is deeper than you might expect, boasting 30 cubic feet of haulage with the rear row folded down or 23.6 with it in place.
 
Range, efficiency and versatility are the hallmarks of the 2017 Leaf SL. To see if this EV might be the one for you, contact our dealership in Seattle, Washington, for a test drive.
If you’ve been wanting to switch from your traditional gas-powered vehicle, but have been wary about the range of an all-electric vehicle, allow us to turn your attention to the 2016 Nissan Leaf SV. This plug-in performer combines advanced battery technology with an aerodynamic design to achieve a 107-mile range on a single charge, which is considered the best in its class for the 2016 model year.
 
 
The Leaf zero-emissions EV is fuelled by a 107-horsepower 80-kw electric motor that powers the front wheels to produce a healthy 187 lb-ft of torque. It draws its energy from the lithium-ion battery pack, which is mounted under the cabin floor. This 30-kwh battery is where the Leaf gains its admirable range from. Previous model years were equipped with a 24-kwh battery that was only capable of offering double-digit range, which wasn’t practical for some drivers. 
 
Efficiency on the SV model rings in at 112 MPGe or about $3 per charge, according to The Car Connection. With no need for gasoline, expensive fill-ups will be history and you’ll significantly reduce your carbon footprint as well.
