The all-electric segment provides a variety of options for eco-conscious buyers, but if you are on a budget, preowned is the best bang-for-your-buck. With a 2013 Nissan Leaf SV as your everyday commuter, you’ll enjoy peppy, plug-and-play performance with solid range for as little as $130 monthly.
Â
Powering the 2013 Leaf is an 80-kilowatt electric motor that is generated by a 24-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. Combined, this allows the EV to pump out 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque, while achieving a range of 75 miles on a single charge. When it’s time to juice up the battery, the 6.6-kW onboard charger will have you back on the road in four hours using a 220-volt line.
Â
Earning “Good†scores across the board by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) – the highest score possible – the 2013 Leaf was also awarded a Top Safety Pick. Standard protective features on this model include side-impact airbags for the front seats, as well as side curtain airbags, antilock brakes, an electronic stability system and traction control. Choosing the SV trim also ensures great value with its 7-inch touchscreen and navigation system, along with Bluetooth connectivity, heated seats and 16-inch alloy wheels.
