Effortless and Very Pratical

First ... too many young folks who are supposedly experts in evaluation of cars tend to want speed, styling, range, and pizzazz. Beware of some of that nonsense. The Leaf has always been an EV from the ground up - and proven. Second, none of these smaller EV entries are sports cars and should not be pitted against each other in this way. If you want to spend $50 thousand w/o incentives go for it - just status symbol nonsense as well. The Leaf SV Plus my wife and I have had for a year .. has been flawless. If you drive as recommended, it is safe, reliable, clean looking in and out, more environmentally friendly that others inside, and does solidly well as a great second car commuter. We live out in the country in the midwest even and usually need about 60 comfortable miles to do what we need. This car loses a bit of mpg on cold days for sure, but with 62 group battery - we never feel range anxiety even on the coldest of day if we're 80% charged before going out on those COLDEST days of -10. Still learning some tech on preheating. I think visibility could be improved on both front and back pillars. I think also that a wider tire might be wise in the summer to smooth things out better IF you commute on curvy roads ... so it may be the case you'd lose some range doing that, but may be worth it somewhat. WE charge at home for the most part as I installed my own 'dryer' 4 spade recepticle no problem for the 220 power. Cost me $45.00 since I had a branch box in my garage. I do think Nissan should step and provide a new adapter ... for the 220 since the ChadeMo was made for the Japanese market and U.S. folks deserve the CCS as well as a customer loyalty expectation and care for their customers. They knew this when selling the 2020 - 2022 versions of my Leaf SV Plus and other models. Nissan should have a toll free number to discuss this at the corp level and not send folks back to the dealership who have no say about this issue. Overall , solid car. It corners a bit if pushed, the tires are stretched if cornered too fast (remember not a race car - stay within itself and speed limits folks), and the brakes could be improved as well. Would buy another ... but Nissan will have to work on these issues or the new Kia EV6 will take over as a good value going forward.
Worth it

So I got the leaf in November, I drive 50 miles a day round trip, i charge at work, i get to use the carpool lane solo, so I save 15 minutes in my commute each way and I just received my rebate check. At first u feel a bit paranoid about keeping up the charge, but then you get use to it. The car has some balls too when you gun it. Overall it's worth it, not the prettiest car but it gets me from point a to point b. I don't feel like a sucker for paying these high gas prices. Update Sept 2022 still worth it.

I am very satisfied with my Leaf. Its smooth, quiet, quick, powerful, and just plain fun to drive. My after hours charging rate at .0487 cents/ kWh will cost me very little to charge it.

Nissan LEAFS are extremely reliable. We've had a 2013 and now a 2020. They have one flaw, a major flaw at that. The Traction Battery is not heated or cooled. Almost every other EV has great Battery management. We don't abuse the Battery and in just 9800 careful miles, LeafSpy shows we have lost over 6% of the original Battery capacity. The fit and finish is very good but lots of hard plastics used inside. The material used for the Cloth Seats and armrests on Door Panels doesn't wear well. The Dealer told us it's made from recycled Pop Bottles. True/false? We don't fully charge or fully drain the Battery so don't really know its maximum range. Rated at 150 miles. When it is cold outside, the range really drops off. We left the car outside in 25 degree weather and charged to 90% and ran it down to 20%. We only got 78 miles of range where we should have gone at least 105 miles. The Chademo charging interface for 440 volt DC charging is slowly being phased out. Electrify America is no longer installing Chademo chargers. This could pose a problem long-term. Update: Our inexpensive 2-year Lease on the Leaf ended in August of 2022. Our lease pay-off was $20,500. Of course the Nissan Dealer wanted us to turn the car in. They had an identical Leaf in their lot, same year but more miles for $34k! Basically a new car price for a 2-year old car. But here in the Portland area, many People got bit by the Biden green bug. So we bought out the lease and sold the car within a week to a Mercedes Dealer for $29,500. So driving the Leaf for 2 years, we actually made a little money if you exclude the Auto Insurance. We would have kept the Leaf if it was the "Plus" model (extended range). We do not miss sitting at a charger waiting for the car to charge up which can be hours. We also had issues with broken public chargers, all chargers busy, or at times, an ICE vehicle blocking the charging station. And some chargers were $.55 cents a kilowatt. We do not plan at this time to rush into an EV again. They are a pain in the ass due to limitations in driving range, battery degradation, charging times, expensive insurance and registration. Back to driving our old car and every time we pass a charging station with People sitting in their cars for hours, waiting for the batteries to fill-up, it makes us happy with our decision to go back to an ICE vehicle.

I have it for almost 3 months and I am happy with my choice, the seats are very comfortable and there is no back pain after driving, no wind noise like other trams the ride is quiet and feels safe on the road, uses pedal 1 and fun to recover energy. Value for money
