2014 Nissan Leaf

FRED BEANS NISSAN OF LIMERICKwww.fredbeansnissan.com

The Nissan Leaf is an all-electric, four-door compact car that seats five. When it debuted for the 2011 model year, it was the first mass-production all-electric vehicle to go on sale in the U.S. with a starting price of more than $30,000. With newer electric cars nipping at the Leaf's heels, Nissan has introduced a new base model for 2013 that starts at just $28,800. The 2013 Nissan Leaf is assembled at Nissan's plant in Smyrna, Tennessee, whereas 2011 and 2012 models were built in Japan.

LEAF is an acronym for Low Emission Automobile of the Future. A 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack powers an 80-kilowatt electric motor, good for 107 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. Improvements to the 2013 Leaf include improved aerodynamics, more efficient regenerative braking, and better vehicle energy management, resulting in better Environmental Protection Agency numbers to the tune of 130/102 MPGe City/Highway energy efficiency equivalent rating and an EPA-estimated range of 75 miles.

2014 Nissan Leaf 

Competitors were practically nonexistent when the Nissan Leaf debuted, but more automakers have stepped up with electric vehicle offerings. They include the Ford Focus Electric, Mitsubishi iMiEV, Honda Fit EV, and Smart ForTwo EV. Forthcoming electric models include the Chevrolet Spark EV and an electric version of Mercedes-Benz's newly announced CLA-Class. Those who have longer commutes or who suffer from range anxiety might also consider a plug-in hybrid such as the Chevrolet Volt, Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid, or the new Ford C-Max plug-in.
