Nissan Leaf: 10 Facts You Probably Didn't Know

The Nissan Leaf is one of the most popular and best-selling electric car models in the world, it’s affordable price and premium features making it the number one choice when it comes to shopping for a budget EV that can perform amazingly well. The 62 kWh model has a range of 226 miles and 214 hp, but you probably knew that, here are some interesting facts you might not have known. It has some great features when you compare it to a Tesla.

I've driven my 2019 over 120k miles in 2 years, 5k miles a month, saved $1000 a month in fuel, costs about $5 to charge up on my home electric bill. Life is good.

I have owned a 2011, 2014, and currently a 2015. It's not too expensive if you buy a used one. I was rear ended HARD in my 2011 and had to replace everything from the rear tires back. I was taken to the hospital on a back board but was ok. The LEAF protected me from the huge box truck hitting me at about 50mph while I was stopped signaling a turn. It took two months to get the parts from China. I am very happy with my LEAF!

I own a 2020 Nissan Leaf SV 40 kwH. It is my first electric vehicle and by far the best car I've ever owned. Maintenance is virtually zero since you don't have an internal combustion engine. The extent of the maintenance is regular service, tire rotations, and the occasional replacement of tires and brakes. Loved it so much that I bought out my lease! The only negative I have is the range anxiety. Since I dont have the 60 kwH battery, I get 160 miles and I've just encountered the first battery degradation to 144 miles after 2 years of ownership. Still enough for what I need it for.

I love the recycled material fact. I did not know that! So glad I went with the Nissan Leaf!

We've had ours for 3 years and are very happy with it.

Love my 2019 e+ SV. It’s a hatchback, heat pump, and one pedal driving

I have one of the first Leafs (# 712). Still get over 60 miles and the battery still charges to all bars because I was careful in how I use it. Normally charge to 80% or if 100% never leave it fully charge for more than a few hours. Best thing about the car was the maintenance cost. Over the decade I've spent less than $500 on it (incl. flat tire replacement, 2 key fob batteries, 1 accessory battery).

I have a 2019 Nissan Leaf SL Plus. After over 3 years of driving, the vehicle drives perfectly, and the only maintenance I have ever done is rotate and balance tires.

The new Leafs are using the NMC532 million mile formulas. We just did 133% of the EPA range in my wifes 3yo Leaf. Great car. The Leafs are the safest EVs. Most reliable, most economical, and now the longest lasting EVs.

I love my 2019 Nissan Leaf. I got it Feb 2020 but it took 5 months as I got mine to do ride share in NYC (Uber, Lyft). I can go 160 miles on one charge and Electrify America will let your charge go to 98% whereas Evgo only 85% before it stops automatically.

It drives well, feature rich and is VERY comfortable even after sitting in the drivers seat 12 hours!! 🚘 This morning I charged it and it had 179 miles because I drove 30 miles per hour to the charging station, about 20 minutes from where I was. 🚘 I will update in 6 months to let everyone know how it's going! 😀🚘

Hello There, a really useful and informative as well as decent video throughout, thank you so much for sharing this, it's much appreciated. Kind regards Peter :)

[oldfilthynorseman]

I've had mine for a year now(25000 km), just had the first service. No issues, no hickups, great dealership.

[peteowens]

Enjoyed the presentation. I bought my first EV last May. A slightly used 2019 Nissan LEAF PLUS. Love it! I was a little surprised that even after having driven mine several thousand miles now I still learned a few new things from your video. Mostly about the recycled materials and after use recycling of these cars. Great job!

[jacksonbangs]

Good review of the 2020 Nissan Leaf. I currently drive a used 2015 Nissan Leaf. I got a great deal on the car and it fits most of my driving needs.

The title is "Nissan Leaf: 10 Facts You Probably Didn't Know" not "Things unique to Leaf" . Two things I like about my Leaf - It tells you what the speed limit is (I am famous for asking my family "Does anyone know the speed limit here?") and it has a digital speed read out which is very helpful at 20 mph. Nice work on the video - thank you.

[davidradzieta]

The Leaf also uses a very safe battery formula. Zero battery fires and it doesn't heat up as much during charging as other battery formulas that require cooling systems to prevent fires.

[samirtohme]

I have the 62 KWh model. I have also a traditional car. This EV car with its ProPilot and its embedded intelligence and wireless connectivity with outside world is not too far from the future generation of intelligent autonomous car. Very nice video. Many thanks.

This really is just an ad for the 2020 Leaf. I have a 2010-1/2 (It was the dealer test car, and had 360 miles on it even though technically it was "new.") It would be neat if my car did half this stuff, especially the larger battery (I have 11 bars left of a 2015 24kWh battery). I think the use of recycled materials is also true of mine. The one-pedal driving is mostly true of the Eco Mode. I saw the Bird's Eye View on a Honda in 2015. Trace Control sounds like a safety bonus; probably a standard feature in a few years, like ABS or the third taillight.
