help Nissan Leaf (S) FAQ
How far can a Nissan Leaf S travel on one charge?
The answer depends on the model year and battery. Nissan's 2016 US listings gave the 24 kWh Leaf S24 an EPA range of 84 miles and the 30 kWh S30 an EPA range of 107 miles; an older battery may deliver less.
Does every Nissan Leaf S have CHAdeMO fast charging?
No. On the 2017 Leaf S, the optional Charge Package added a 6.6 kW onboard charger and the Quick Charge port, so the car's VIN and physical charge ports should be checked before buying.
How does the Leaf S differ from the SV and SL trims?
In the 2017 lineup, the S was the entry trim with 16-inch steel wheels and a 5.0-inch display. The SV added features such as 17-inch alloy wheels and a 7.0-inch navigation screen, while the SL added leather-appointed equipment.
What should I inspect on a used Nissan Leaf S?
Battery health is more important than the dashboard range estimate, because Nissan notes that temperature, driving style, heater use, and battery age affect range. Check charging behavior, service records, the charge ports, and the battery condition before relying on the 2016 or 2017 range figures.
