Does the thought of driving an all-electric vehicle give you range anxiety? Do you have fears of being stranded on the side of the road with a dead battery? Take a deep breath â€“ the 2018 Nissan Leaf S is here to quell all of your worries. New and improved for this model year, the EV now offers an extended range, allowing you to go farther than ever before.

The 2018 Leaf S is energized by a 40-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, which powers the motor to create 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Combined, this lets the plug-in vehicle run for 150 miles before needing to recharge, which is almost double the distance of the first-generation Leaf that was released in 2011.

When it does come time to refresh the battery, the 6.6-kilowatt onboard charger will have you up and running to 80 percent power in about 40 minutes when using a 50-kw CHAdeMO DC fast charger. However, if you are using a 240-volt Level 2 station, charging time will increase to about 8 hours, but many drivers use this time to juice up the battery overnight. By morning, youâ€™ll be ready to tackle your busy commute with confidence â€“ nothing is going to slow you or your EV down.

Curious to see how it handles on Seattleâ€™s city streets? Contact our team at Kirkland Nissan for your test drive in an all-new 2018 Leaf S.
