Nissan Leaf (2011 - 2018) Acenta 5d Auto Owner Review

Quietest, smoothest drive you'll probably ever experience. Great features like mobile app that allows you to do things like turn your heater or charger on. Roomy inside and good sized boot. Range anxiety is a huge myth. Even on a cold day you'll get 60-80 miles which equates 20-30K a year. Granted you can't do journeys over 150 miles without multiple charges but if you do 20k + miles per year you can hire a car for those rare long journeys with the massive saving you make on fuel. It's still zero tax under the new regulations and service costs are a fraction of petro/diesel equivalents. Downside is the reduction in range during winter, sitting in traffic you can see the range dropping. Nothing to do with Nissan but Ecotricity who run the rapid charger network on the motorway network have gone from being free to £6 for a 30mins charge that buys you about 50-60miles of range. That's more expensive than an efficient diesel which is a shame and a rip off.
