![]() The S trim is the base model for the LEAF and in recent years, comes with features that used to be reserved for upgraded trims or add-ons, such as Apple or Android integration. Starting in 2019, Nissan added the LEAF Plus, an option with a larger, 62 kWh battery, an extra 75 miles of range, a bigger motor, and more horsepower. The Nissan LEAF comes in three main trims: S, SV, and SL. In 2019, Nissan added in the Plus version, bringing available range to 226 miles, and increased fast charging speed to 100 kW. The on-board charger was switched entirely to 6.6 kW, and CHAdeMO fast charging up to 50 kW was added. LEAF "Gen 2" increased the battery size from 24 to 40 kWh, modernizing the available range to around 150 miles. In 2014, the range was increased slightly again to get 84 miles per charge, but the first big redesign came for the 2018 model year. Heating, regenerative braking, and aerodynamics were all improved, and a 6.6 kW on-board charger was made available. In 2013, vehicle efficiency was updated to increase the range rating from 73 to 75 miles. The LEAF has been around for a decade so it has a long history. A used LEAF Plus, from 2019 onwards, can get from 135 to 280 miles on a charge. Used ranges for older models (2013-2018) are between 64 and 176 miles, while newer LEAFs all get at least 100 miles per charge. With original purchase price around $30K - much less than the Roadster - it allowed many drivers their first taste of the EV life. Although technically predated by the Tesla Roadster, the Nissan LEAF is by many accounts the first commercially viable lithium-ion powered battery electric for sale in the US.
