Tired of having to track down the nearest gas station to fill your car with expensive fuel? Enjoy the affordability and predictability of an all-electric vehicle by purchasing a 2018 Nissan Leaf SL.Â
Â
According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, EVs offer drivers added convenience since they can be “fuelled up†at home using a 220-volt charger. Not only is this easier for those with busy schedules, but relying on electricity to power a vehicle is much cheaper than traditional fossil fuels. You’ll also save on maintenance since battery-powered cars are engineered to be much simpler compared to conventional gasoline variants. With no oil changes to pay for, spark plugs or timing belts to replace, and engines to tune, keeping your Leaf on the road won’t cost you a fortune.
Â
The 2018 Leaf runs on a 110-kW AC synchronous electric motor, which powers the 40-kWh lithium-ion battery to deliver 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Range on this model is incredible at 150 miles, plus you can refresh the battery in your garage while you sleep using the standard 6.6-kW onboard charger.
Â
Inside, the SL is designed with your convenience in mind and boasts a number of high-tech features that are sure to add to your enjoyment. This includes a surround-view camera system to aid in busy parking lots, as well as a 7.0-inch touchscreen display, navigation, and a Bose audio system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
