Getting to terms with your new Nissan LEAF? Thinking about switching to an electric vehicle? Or simply looking for a little more information on Nissan's EV range? We've got you covered! With this blog you can find out everything you need to know about Nissan and it's electric vehicles, from the LEAF's charging to the benefits of choosing electric!
Charging your Nissan LEAF is incredibly convenient and fast, making it perfect for everyday driving. With a competitive all-electric range of up to 212 miles, and an engine of up to 214 horsepower, the LEAF can accelerate from 0-60mph in 7.9 seconds. With the game-changing DC fast charging, you can power your LEAF to 80% in as fast as 40 minutes! And, an ever-expanding network of public EV charging stations means you’ve got a lot of options for your next charge.
With your home charger, installed for free by Cars2 when you purchase an EV, your full charge can be achieved in just under 8 hours. At Cars2, we make switching to electric easier than ever! When you purchase a Nissan LEAF or any other electric vehicle, we offer free home charger installation—saving you time and ensuring you can charge your LEAF overnight, right from your driveway.
One of the key advantages of the LEAF as an EV is its regenerative braking system 'e-Pedal' which recaptures energy during braking, feeding it back into the battery. This results in improved energy efficiency, extending your driving range, especially in city driving where frequent stops and starts occur.
With manufacturers racing to meet the 2030 deadline of no new internal combustion engine cars, consumers are now spoilt for choice! With low or zero road tax, zero emissions, and most important of all, cheaper running costs than your standard petrol or diesel motors, the benefits of a hybrid or electric motor are endless and make it an even easier choice to switch.
Whether you've already made the switch to electric or you're a committed EV customer, here at Cars2 we have a huge variety of new and used electric vehicles for you to choose from, including Nissan. EV technology is rapidly evolving, offering more power, longer ranges, and advancing features every year. Regardless of if you're the eco-conscious driver, or looking to save some money by choosing electric, Cars2 are here to support your decision.
On average, the cost to drive an EV is about 60-70% cheaper per mile compared to a petrol or diesel powered vehicle. In addition, there’s no need for oil changes, and brake wear is significantly reduced thanks to regenerative braking. Over the course of ownership, EV owners can save hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds compared to traditional vehicles. To top it off, EVs do not produce harmful emissions, so directly reduce air pollution and contribute to cleaner cities and communities. EVs have been proven to be far more energy efficient than their petrol or diesel competition, as well as having the ability to be fitted with renewable energy sources. Why would you say no?

So why go electric with Nissan? Well, by using exclusive technology such as NissanConnect and Zap-Map®, Nissan allows you to make the most of your electric vehicle. The NissanConnect app allows you to control your EV directly from your smartphone. That means you can lock or unlock the car from anywhere, know where your car is at all times, heat it up or cool it down in advance, and even set your car to recharge when off-peak electricity is available. The Zap-Map® app offers all the information you need to find your nearest charging point on the go, or from the comfort of your home.
Nissan stands out above the rest with its e-POWER technology - Nissan e-POWER is a unique electrified vehicle technology that delivers a more responsive, quieter & efficient way to experience city driving, free from the need to plug in. With e-POWER, hybrid is reinvented. Because the battery is kept full by the petrol engine, you can begin long journeys free from range anxiety; simply refill at an everyday pump and you'll be back on the road. This impressive increased range will also keep you away from the pump for longer, decreasing your overall fuel costs! As if it couldn't get any better, you can activate e-Pedal Step with the flick of a switch: a single pedal for accelerating and braking. Nissan's e-Pedal Step removes the need to jump between two pedals in stop-start traffic, or when driving uphill. Pair this with the quiet engine and you'll feel nothing but relaxed behind the wheel.
Nissan's e-4ORCE all-wheel drive technology controls torque and braking for each wheel individually, prioritising those with the most grip. It also reacts up to 10,000 times per second, constantly adapting to changing conditions and tricky terrain.
