Whether you want to reduce your carbon footprint or slash your monthly fuel costs altogether, a preowned all-electric 2013 Nissan Leaf S is an obvious choice. Best of all, you can find a four-year-old used model for under $10K, like at our dealership in Seattle, Washington.
 
The 2013 Leaf S is energized by a 24kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which is mounted beneath the floor. The 80kW/107-horsepower motor churns out 207 lb-ft of torque and can easily go from zero to 60 mph in about 10 seconds with a top speed of 90 mph. 
 
As for the cost of ownership, Nissan claims its very affordable with a full recharge estimated at about three dollars, which equates to an 84-mile range. When compared to the rising cost of gasoline, this amounts to huge savings over the life of the EV.
 
But, one of the nicest features about this Leaf is how it drives. Aside from its whisper quiet operation, the 2013 Nissan Leaf S drives and handles like any mainstream vehicle, thanks to its smooth as silk regenerative braking system. The electric power steering is also light and nicely weighted for both highway and city driving.
