In 2011, introduced Nissan’s fully electric Leaf. The name stands for “Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car”.

The five-door hatchback has a range of approximately 160 kilometres. In 2013, the Leaf is renewed and grew the range to 199 km. There were three trim levels, making the Leaf not more standard rich equipment had. The levels from basic to luxury are Visia, Acenta and Tekna. Also is the trunk space 40 liters bigger of the model after the facelift.

For short distances the Leaf is a fine car, but you have longer to travel then you can wonder whether it is convenient, this is a Leaf to do. The question that you compared to can convert is or you for that single vacation and the one visit to your mother in law a year a polluting vehicle with a combustion engine need. Most of the rides are short. Take the kids to school, to do some shopping, return trip to work to 15 km. You’ve got a heavy fossil brandstofstoker, or you can take those miles at a comfortable and also milieuontlastende way to sit?

Electric drive cost of 3.5 cents per kilometre, fuel cost of 11.5 cents per kilometre. The costs can quickly add up if you are going to fast charge, but the maintenance costs of electric cars such as Leaf are much lower than for a car with combustion engine.
