All Charged Up: Nissan LEAF Gets Battery, Range Boost Across Lineup

Are you curious about owning and driving an electric vehicle? Are you interested in the many practical and environmental benefits of EV ownership? If you’re ready to get off of the electric fence and join the many happy EV owners, we recommend taking a look at the 2016 Nissan LEAF.

Why the LEAF? Well, in addition to being the highest-volume electric car in the world, with 233,000 sold globally since December 2011, the Nissan LEAF now boasts even more range, making it a smart choice for potential EV owners.

One of the joys of EV ownership is never having to visit the gas station again—ever. The 2016 Nissan LEAF makes bypassing the pump (and the charging station for that matter) even easier, thanks to an upgrade to the EV's on-board battery.

All 2016 Nissan LEAF models are now fitted with a 30-kilowatt-hour battery, up from the previous 24-kwh capacity. The result is a boost in the vehicle’s EPA-estimated range from 84 to 107 miles.

Not only does the upgrade provide increased range for drivers, it also provides additional peace of mind. LEAF drivers already have access to a large network of charging stations across the country, but with the upgrade to the LEAF’s battery capacity, drivers can now travel even further before needing to recharge.

The Nissan LEAF is one of the most innovative cars of our time. That it produces zero emissions and requires only electricity to run demonstrates Nissan’s commitment to improving mobility while remaining sensitive to environmental concerns.

Hall Nissan Virginia Beach is also committed to improving your mobility. Whether that is with a cutting-edge EV or a traditional gasoline-powered model, we want to empower you with the information needed to make the best choice for your driving needs.
