Electric cars like the Nissan Leaf are becoming more popular every day, but there are still plenty of people out there that are hesitant to make the switch due to the pre-conceived notion that they’re not practical for trips longer than a drive to and from work. While that was certainly a valid concern in the early days of the electric vehicle, modern electric cars are more capable than ever before. In fact, cars like the Nissan Leaf may be even better for long trips than their combustion engine counterparts.
More Miles per Charge
At the beginning of the electric vehicle’s life, maximum range was limited to about 80 miles on a single charge, on the high end. Most mass-produced vehicles were closer to only 60 miles or so. This problem was only made worse by the fact that, in most cases, the only available charging options were expensive charge ports installed in the home of the vehicle’s owner.
The Nissan Leaf, however, is capable of traveling over 150 miles on one charge. That’s more than twice the range that was previously available. But is it enough to justify a long road trip?
Easy Access to Public Charging
Nissan has an extensive, ever-expanding network of public charging stations all over the United States. When you buy a new Leaf, you’ll be given two years of free charging at these stations but, even if you don’t have free access, topping off at a Nissan charging point is still less expensive than filling up a tank of gas. Due to the large number of stations available, you’re likely never very far from one, so there’s little need to worry about running out of juice when you’re not close to home.
As an added convenience, the car’s onboard connected system will help you easily locate and navigate to the nearest charging station whenever you need.
High-Tech Features for a High-Tech Ride
The Nissan Leaf’s high-end technology isn’t limited to its superior range and charging capacity. Connected onboard systems provide access to support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, providing you with instant access to your favorite mobile apps through the car’s touch-screen interface. The car’s companion app also provides on-demand access to important information like the current charge level, door locks, and even climate control.
A Car That Tattles When Something’s Not Right
One of the coolest features that the Leaf offers is the ability to receive customized alerts when something out of the ordinary happens. This is ideal on a road trip with multiple drivers. You can set the car to tell you when a driver exceeds the speed limit, when a valet drives the car outside of a specific radius, or when your teenage driver takes the car out of town without permission. Curfew alerts can also let you know when somebody’s driving the car when they’re not supposed to.
The Nissan Leaf is a much more practical vehicle than you might expect. If you haven’t checked one out yet, stop by a local Nissan dealership and take one out for a test drive.
