We have a limited number of reviews for the 2014 LEAF, so we've included reviews for other years of the LEAF since its last redesign.

An affordable, fun ride for entry level EVers, BUT

I bought mine new in 2013. Only purchased it with level 2 (220V) charge capability. Started off with an 85 mile range, provided only some was freeway, without using AC or defrost/heat. In the first 10 years, I lost 22% of battery capacity, because Nissan chose not to manage temperature of the pack. (This despite charging to 80% most of the time, with a 100% charge once per month to treat the pack "gently"). In my case, I took it to a mechanic who was able to replace the 10 year old 26kWh pack with a 62 kWh pack from a crashed LEAF. That's great, but without that thermal management, the new battery lost range too. And by this time, the Chevy Bolt was available and it had Level 3 (440V, CCS1) charging. And I have to label Nissan greedy by them not making battery upgrading available, and forcing me to locate a mechanic and tow the car 245 miles to get the work done. (see above). I chose the mid-grade trim. That means the gray seats and seat belt need to constantly be cleaned with Woolite upholstery cleaner. The steering wheel is made of a substance that is said to compost well, which is a nice idea, but the paint doesn't adhere to it well. Pros: Super stereo and fun to drive. Once you drive it, you may switch to a different EV, but you'll never go back to a gas-burner.
