Click above to read a full review of the Nissan Leaf
The Nissan Leaf is the world’s very first mass-production plug-in electric vehicle. A writer at Autoblog recently had the opportunity to test the real-world range of the vehicle, and through a test cycle that included stop-and-go traffic as well as highway cruising, the car traveled 116.1 miles on a single charge. This overshot Nissan’s quoted 100-mile range, and indicates that the midsized vehicle would satisfy the primary vehicle needs of many consumers. The car has a price tag of around $32,000, but after Federal incentives that price comes down to around $25,000. Additional state incentives are available in certain areas, and consumers in California can score one of these green rides for about $20,000, putting the Nissan Leaf in a price bracket that normally would include cars that are much smaller and less versatile.
