where to buy a preowned Nissan Leaf in washingtonIf you’ve been pouring over online reviews about preowned all-electric vehicles, you may have come across complaints about poor range and extended charging times. But, don’t let these assessments steer you away from the segment – zone in on the Leaf EV instead. 
 
Since its release in 2011, Nissan has been perfecting its best-selling plug-in vehicle with each model year. And for 2013, the automaker made some smart enhancements to the Leaf, allowing it to go farther and charge faster than earlier versions.
 
One of the key improvements to the 2013 Leaf is that it was engineered with an available 6.6 kW onboard charger, which cuts the 220V’s charging time in half to just four hours. For commuters, this is especially important since it allows them to refresh the EV’s battery while at work and have it ready for the drive home.
 
Nissan also improved the Leaf’s aerodynamics, allowing airflow to travel up and across the low compact hood, pass over the car’s shoulders and exit via the large rear spoiler. The result is less drag and better efficiency, which allows the Leaf to achieve 15 percent more range, totalling 84 miles on a single charge. 
 
It drives beautifully too, with a whisper-quiet operation that Seattle drivers love. To experience it for yourself, contact our team at Kirkland Nissan to learn more about the 2013 Leaf SV today!
