If you are eager to reduce your carbon footprint by driving a zero emissions vehicle, the 2015 Nissan Leaf SV is a great preowned option for Seattle area commuters. Boasting 100 percent plug-in performance and great range, traditional fossil fuels will be a thing of the past with this EV as your chariot.
Â
The 2015 Leaf SV gets its muscle from an 80-kW electric motor, which draws power from its 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Combined, this provides drivers with 107 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque, along with a range of 84 miles on a single charge. When you crunch the numbers, this equates to an EPA rating (MPGe) of 126 mpg city and 101 mpg highway or 114 MPGe combined. Amazing!
Â
On the exterior, the SV trim is appointed with upgraded 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and a sleek five-door design for a unique look that is all Leaf. Charging is managed by the 6.6 kW on-board charger that can be used with any 220V power source. It can fire up a fully depleted battery in about five hours, which is quite quick. A seven-inch display, six-speaker audio system, navigation, and the CARWINGS app integration are also standard on this mid-range trim.
