Going electric comes with some suprisingly pleasant cost-of-ownership benefits like low maintenance costs.

It’s an experience unlike any other, thanks to the 100% electric motor. There’s the first time you accelerate and feel 100% instant torque push you to the back of your seat. There’s the wonder at the intensity of performance coming from a car with such a quiet interior. Then consider no gas or tailpipe emissions, and your everyday drive turns into something truly extraordinary.

LEAF Performance

Feel the electric rush

There’s nothing quite like 100% electric driving. There’s no power band – just straight power for a rush of instant acceleration every time you hit the pedal. And all this performance comes without so much as a drop of gas, absolutely zero tailpipe emissions, and amazingly smooth operation.

100% torque off the line

Unleash the full power of LEAF’s drivetrain every time you hit the accelerator for a rush of electric performance no ordinary car can match.

Handles like a dream

The Nissan LEAF is just as much fun through the twists and turns. The floor- mounted battery pack creates a low center of gravity for a great ride and smooth handling, helping the Nissan LEAF corner with minimal body roll.

How does the Nissan LEAF work?

The Nissan LEAF is an all-electric vehicle, its motor doesn't require gas at all. It's not a hybrid, instead it gets the energy it needs to drive the electric motor mounted between its front wheels from the large lithium-ion battery mounted along the floor of the car. Charging is a simple as charging your cell phone, plug it in, and let it go.

Add up the benefits of 100% electric driving

Owning a Nissan LEAF keeps getting better with numerous benefits to going electric beyond lower cost of ownership.

And depending on where you live, you may qualify for potential state and Federal tax incentives, HOV lane access, and more[[2]][[8]]

No Gas, No Emissions

No gas means no tailpipe. No tailpipe means no tailpipe emissions. So forget gas stations and put emissions testing behind you – in the 100% LEAF, they’re truly a thing of the past.

No Oil Changes

LEAF isn’t powered by an internal combustion engine, so there’s no oil needed for lubrication, and no oil changes required to keep it running smoothly. Ever.

No Tune-Ups

Spark plugs, timing belts, fluid top-ups – forget about them. LEAF is 100% electric, so get used to less maintenance, and less hassle.
