We love our leaf. Having our own solar installation allows us to charge ecomically at home. We enjoy the freedom from oil products and the conforts our leaf has installed.

Know that your mileage is limited to 200 plus on a full battery so you need to know where you can get.battery refills. I’m retired so I don’t put on a lot of mile🉑.

Great EV for Us

We have driven the Leaf EV+ for a year and like everything about it. Great features and electric drivers seat . This is the only car I could find that had an electric seat. I have only purchased about 30 gallons of gas in the last year for my other car. I am a larger person, and the Leaf has plenty of room for me to drive in comfort. The Lear is easy for my wife to enter and exit and she likes to drive this car every time she needs to go someplace. We are older and seldom drive over 50 miles and never fear running out of charge. Perfect for every day driving.

More problems that what's the car worth

Overall, the price is fair for an entry electrical vehicle, it's nothing special with a driving range of 220 per full charge. With the clean air and tax rebate, it's a great buy compare to many other competitions, but for us, it was a nightmare to own. Our typical commute per day is about 100 miles a day, with gas prices at all time high, we are saving money each time the car was driven; but unfortunately, the car broke down within 6 months; and sits in the shop for about 1 and a half month to fix; tow into the shop 2 times; fixing a minimum of 10 things in order to get the car running again; with that aside; cargo room practicality is very reasonable with big trunk and folding seats; the seats aren't as comfortable compare to some other Japanese brands, the on board infotainment screen is unresponsive and laggy; Apple Carplay is hit or miss; (!!Per dealership serviceman: There are no fixes; simply don't use Carplay will be the fix!!), compare to some other new EV in the market; everything seems lacking. Overall: if you just want to save gas and get some good incentives; this will satisfy that aspect; if you are looking for more; I don't recommend the Leaf or Nissan with my current experience.

A great urban vehicle

We purchased our Leaf in March 2023, when there was a chip shortage affecting cars. As a result, we paid full list price. Fortunately, on our purchase date, it qualified for both a federal tax credit ($7,500) and a State of California credit, so the effective cost to us was little more than $17K. The Leaf is a lot of fun to drive, the ePedal is great, and it is highly maneuvrable and easy to park (and access.) So it has some really strong points with respect to practicality. The biggest negative for our base-trim Leaf S is the driving range: somewhere around 150 miles (depending on speed and weather.) If you are a 2-car family with jobs relatively nearby, the Leaf is a great choice. My wife and I are now retired and have gone down to a single car. We have done modest roadtrips in the Leaf but it is a pain to recharge on the road (even in Southern California), and you will likely need to recharge it at least once on a roadtrip. (We almost always charge it at home on a normal 110 volt outlet.) If we get another EV, we will likely seek greater mileage, now that we have lived with a lesser range and endured some range anxiety as a result. (The infrastructure will get better, but it still has a ways to go.) Beyond that issue, we greatly enjoy driving the Leaf.
