It looked to be in really good shape and only had 27,000 miles. I didn’t test drive it because I’ve never driven an EV and didn’t know how and I was also concerned about the charging. There are fast chargers and slow chargers, and different kinds of connections on different cars so a big learning curve.Jun 27, 2024

Just drove home in this new (to me) LEAF. It is really comfy, drives smoothly, looks brand new inside! Came with 25 ft. charging cord. Bluetooth, navigation system, and looks like new tires! Registration good until June 2024. We were mostly looking at LEAFs but did inquire at a different dealer about a Kia Soul EV. The person at the dealer (Joe) was super helpful and the transaction was super easy. Thanks, Joe! Very happy with our purchase! Looking forward to putting gas money and repair costs into our savings account!Dec 28, 2023

Great vehicle for in town, range is limited for distance travel. Compares with Kia Soul EV but I prefer the more aerodynamic shape of the Nissan Leaf.Sep 23, 2023
