Without a question, the Nissan Leaf electric car surpasses expectations. It also
eliminated range anxiety for me. That was purely based on it’s performance based
traction battery. Although the range was typically about 100 miles, with the regenerative
braking, the tests resulted in 120 mile range.

So many cars come and go but I’m ALWAYS in pure happiness with an all [electric](https://greenlivingguy.com/2006/08/tesla-roadster-unveiled-in-santa-monica/)
car.

# Basics

For the 2014 [model](https://usa.nissannews.com/en-US/releases/us-2014-nissan-leaf-press-kit)
year, the estimated driving range for LEAF on a fully-charged battery is rated at
84 miles and MPGe ratings are 126 City. Also 101 Highway and 114 Combined. For the
LEAF is assembled in the United States at Nissan’s Smyrna, Tenn.  That’s at an assembly
plant, with battery production taking place next door. All in the country’s largest
lithium-ion (Li-ion) automotive battery plant.

worldwide**
 There are a lot of reasons why the [2014 Nissan Leaf](https://greenlivingguy.com/2013/02/green-research-sustainability/)
announced great things. I mean that the 100 percent electric Nissan LEAF posted 
record sales in Europe in 2013. Thereby making it the best-selling electric passenger
car in that market.

Pricing of the Nissan Leaf is competitive for a secondary car that will last a long
time. As a $30,000 car with no oil, no gas, no brake pads, no real maintenance proves
to more and pay for itself over the lifetime of ownership.
