You don’t need an upper trim vehicle to enjoy next-level technology and performance. The 2017 Nissan LEAF S is a wonder car that’s an environmental champ. The all-electric, zero-emissions auto ushers the world into the future, providing owners with sensational efficiency, mileage, and fuel cost savings throughout the year. YouTuber “†has the word below.
Here’s how this progressive vehicle works: The 2017 LEAF S is outfitted with an 80 kW AC synchronous motor. The car’s electricity is stored in a 30 kWh, 360-volt lithium-ion battery, which offers power to the engine on demand. How much juice are we talking here? You may be pleasantly surprised—despite its compact nature, this auto still cranks out 107 horses and 187-lb.-ft. of torque.
Consumer reviewer “bmhsonic†loves how easy—and economical—it is to juice up this EV. The LEAF has a 3.6 kW onboard charger that, when plugged into a 220-volt power outlet, can be entirely filled from “empty†to “full†in approximately only seven hours. After this stint, you can take the vehicle out on the roads of Renton, Seattle, and Bellevue and journey for up to 107 consecutive miles before having to stop again.
