How is the Nissan Leaf on the road?
The 2015 Nissan Leaf is smooth, quiet, and mostly serene on the road, especially at 40 mph or less, compared to any compact vehicle with a gasoline or diesel engine. You may hear a bit of low whine from the electronics and electric motor from time to time, but otherwise, it’s smooth and notably free of vibrations.
How much does it cost to charge a Nissan Leaf?
We bought our 2015 Leaf SL for an around town car. It’s perfect for any trip of 35 miles radius from home (70 miles round trip). When traveling further there are loads of Free charging stations to be found. Home charging cost is about 2 cents per mile driven based on the local FP&L 10.6 cents/kwh electric cost.
What does the dead FOB do on a Nissan Leaf?
It contains the mechanical key, which does open the car, although it sets the alarm off when you open the door until you present the dead fob to the start button, at which point the car detects it, switches off the alarm and allows the car to be started.
Is the Nissan Leaf good for long commutes?
If you have a long commute without access to workplace charging, an 84-mile electric car isn’t going to be the vehicle for you. (Consider a Bolt EV, Tesla Model 3, or second-generation Nissan Leaf as each car becomes available in your area.)
Is the 2015 Nissan Leaf an electric car?
After one year of driving of a 2015 Nissan Leaf electric car, I was surprised to find that daily driving with a gasoline car requires more sacrifice than with my electric.
Why did Nissan change the warranty on the Nissan Leaf?
The changes came in response to concerns over fast battery degradation in a very small number of Leafs in extremely hot areas–Phoenix, specifically. The revised warranty also protects U.S. Leaf owners against battery-capacity loss during the car’s first five years or 60,000 miles.
How old do you have to be to buy a Nissan Leaf?
This is due to at least two factors. First is unfamiliarity: With less than five years of history, buyers just don’t know how used Leafs will fare when they’re 10 or 12 years old. Second, though, is a financial quirk. Remember that buying a plug-in electric car can qualify you for a Federal income-tax credit of $2,500 to $7,500.
