In 2011, Nissan shook the automotive industry with the unveiling of the Leaf - an all-electric vehicle powered by laminated compact lithium-ion batteries designed for mass-market appeal. Since then, popularity has grown, spawning several generations and earning the title of best-selling EV.Â

And today, we're taking a look back to the first-gen 2011 Leaf SL-e, which is available for sale on our preowned lot. Just think - you could own a piece of history!

Under its sleek design, which has been aerodynamically engineered to reduce drag, the 2011 Leaf SL-e is powered by a 24kWh Lithium-ion-manganese-graphite battery pack, which powers the 80kW motor and produces 107 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. Recharging at home with a 220-volt charger will take 4-8 hours, but, according to Edmunds, a commercial quick-charge station can drop that time down to 30 minutes. Fully juiced, the Leaf promises a range of 100 miles, which is about a third of the cruising range available in a conventional car, but that compromise comes with zero gas costs.

And even though this is a 2011 model, it still comes well-equipped with some cool features that aren't always found on current model year vehicles. That's because the Leaf has always been ahead of its time, bringing innovations to the masses. This includes a standard spoiler-mounted solar panel, which stores the sun's energy for future use, and a rearview camera that makes maneuvering through parking lots a breeze. What's more, every Leaf comes standard with Nissan Connection, which is a remote vehicle access system that reports battery recharging data and can activate the climate control via a smartphone.Â
