Charging is one of the most important factors to consider for electric vehicles. The charging time for the Nissan LEAF depends on the trim level and charging method. For Level 2 charging, the S model can be recharged in eight hours, while the SV Plus needs about 11 hours of continuous charging. If you stop by a public station for charging, you can expect charging times of 40 minutes for the S model and 45 minutes for the SV Plus.


Both models are equipped with Nissan’s collection of advanced safety technology to help prevent accidents on the road. The Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite includes technologies like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. 

S

The first-tier S model has a 149-mile electric range when the battery is fully charged. The AC 40 kWh electric motor produces 147 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Key engineering features include a direct drive transmission, front-wheel driveline, and a brake-actuated limited-slip differential to maximize traction on slippery roads. 


The S model has a 60/40 folding rear bench seat to make space for extra cargo, like a bulk grocery haul or supplies for your next interstate road trip. Cabin preconditioning is standard for this model. When you remotely start the LEAF, the HVAC unit can automatically heat or cool the cabin so the EV has a comfortable climate as soon as you enter the vehicle. 

SV Plus

The upper trim has an estimated driving range of 212 miles, thanks to a more powerful 60 kWh electric motor, which generates 214 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. The energy efficiency for this model is 121 MPGe in the city and 98 MPGe combined. Other key upgrades for the SV Plus include a high-output quick charge port, 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, and heated side view mirrors. Heated front seat cushions are also standard. 


On the technology side, the SV Plus comes with NissanConnect EV, a more advanced infotainment unit with an integrated navigation system and voice-activated services for your on-road convenience. A three-month trial for SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link is standard. This model also has ProPILOT Assist as an advanced driving assistant that reduces driver fatigue and optimizes vehicle performance in certain traffic conditions.
