The Nissan LEAF remains the best-selling 100-percent electric vehicle in the U.S. along with the world, using more than 100,000 units bought in the U.S. and most 238,000 units worldwide (by fall 2016).
For 2017, Nissan LEAF again provides drivers with the space and range to fulfill everyday needs; a great value proposition resulting from zero spending on gas, lower operating and maintenance costs; plus a starting price after tax incentives just like a similarly sized gas-powered car.
For 2017, all LEAF trim levels provide the 30 kWh battery which had been previously just available on LEAF SV and SL grades. Combined with 100-mile plus range, the 30 kWh battery may be quick-charged to 80 percent (with the low battery charge warning) inside of 30 minutes. Charging on the home charging system (Level 2, 240V) is estimated for taking about six hours while using 6.6 kW onboard charger.

The advanced lithium-ion electric battery carries an industry-competitive limited warranty4 of eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Beneath New Electric Vehicle Limited Warranty, Nissan will control battery capacity loss below nine bars of capacity as shown over the vehicle’s battery capacity level gauge to your first eight years or 100,000 miles.
The 107-mile Range
Nissan is really a leading developer of lithium-ion battery technology for longer than Many years, and also the 30 kWh LEAF battery is a good type of how rather than just increasing battery capacity, this company achieved an account balance between capacity, packaging, durability and affordability.
Often when battery capacity is merely increased, the battery’s durability and compatibility with quick chargers may deteriorate. The 30 kWh battery design adds capacity without increasing battery package size by enhancing the cell structure from the laminated lithium-ion battery cells. Improved electrode material with revised chemistry ends up with higher power density and results in enhanced battery durability upon charge and discharge.
The 30 kWh battery’s modules contain eight cells per module (192 cells total). Unlike conventional cylindrical batteries, the skinny, compact laminated cells offer more flexibility in packaging and style applications. The 30 kWh power supply weighs just 46 pounds in excess of the earlier 24 kWh power supply and possesses identical size and footprint.
The battery powers a high-response 80kW AC synchronous motor, with a rating of 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque, which drives the leading wheels by having a single-speed reducer. The 2017 LEAF has MPGe ratings of 124 city, 101 highway and 112 combined gas mileage.
As in past years, the front-wheel drive LEAF works with a dedicated Nissan EV platform with batteries housed in the floor for optimum vehicle packaging and weight distribution. Our bodies design carries a rigid-mounted battery frame, which assists provide greater body rigidity over a conventional compact car.
The 2017 Nissan LEAF provides a variety of charging options, which has a charge port found in the front body with the 240V charger and portable trickle-charge cable (110V). Electric powered port light and lock are standard. The accessible Quick Charge Port (standard on SV and SL, optional on S) allows charging to 80 % capacity inside of Thirty minutes at charging stations working with a CHAdeMO fast charger. Gleam standard photovoltaic solar power electrical spoiler on SL models, which assists charging of the 12-volt battery for vehicle accessories.
LEAF SV and SL grades incorporate a 6.6 kW onboard charger that, by using a 240V outlet, bills you it to Totally inside 6 hours. It is undoubtedly an option on LEAF S, which in standard form works on the 3.6 kW onboard charger. All LEAF models contain a standard portable trickle charge cable.
Unlike a regular car engine, LEAF has virtually Totally of the company’s torque you can buy from start, delivering smooth, consistent acceleration and driving feel similar to a conventional V6 engine. Smooth ride and handling are offered through use of an impartial strut suspension with stabilizer bar in front along with a torsion beam rear suspension with integrated stabilizer bar. Nissan LEAF works with a vehicle-speed-sensitive electric power steering system, while responsive braking is available by power-assisted front vented disc/solid rear disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA).
Because Nissan LEAF does not need an interior combustion engine, Nissan has incorporated an “Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians” system, that’s built to alert pedestrians that a vehicle is approaching. When driving at low speeds, the system emits an audio at a speaker in front on the vehicle. When the vehicle’s speed reaches 19 mph, pedestrians are capable of hear the motor car moving plus the “approaching sound” automatically turns off. If your vehicle speed drops below 16 mph, the sound turns on again.
