EV Range: Electrified Mileage

Imagine cruising emission-free, enjoying the quiet power of an electric motor, but never having to worry about running out of juice. That’s the beauty of understanding the Nissan EV range. The 2024 Nissan LEAF, known for its city-friendly charm, boasts an EPA-estimated range of up to 149 miles with its standard 40kWh battery pack and an EPA-estimated range of 212 miles with the available 60 kWh battery pack.* This translates to effortless daily commutes, errands, and weekend getaways within city limits. The 2023 Nissan ARIYA comes to the rescue if you crave longer journeys with the impressive Nissan EV range. With the 87 kWh battery and Venture+ FWD available, the 2023 Nissan ARIYA offers an EPA estimated range of up to 304 miles.** There are also a variety of other trim options, including Engage FWD, Engage e-4ORCE dual motor AWD, Venture+ FWD, Evolve+ FWD, Engage+ e-4ORCE dual motor AWD,, Empower+ FWD, Evolve+ e-4ORCE dual motor AWD,  and Platinum+ e4ORCE dual motor AWD. This opens up possibilities for extended road trips and adventures without Nissan EV range anxiety.

EV Battery Life: Powering Your Electrified Future

Like any battery, an EV battery eventually needs replacing to ensure you are getting optimal Nissan EV range. But worry not; technological advancements have made EV batteries incredibly durable. The Nissan LEAF and Nissan ARIYA batteries are designed to last for many years and come with a standard 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty on battery capacity. This means you can enjoy reliable electric driving for years to come, with peace of mind knowing that your battery is covered and Nissan EV’s range is thriving.

How Long Do EVs Last?

Like gasoline-powered cars, Nissan EVs require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and lifespan. The lifespan of an EV is highly dependent upon the size and type of battery, as well as external factors. Nissan recommends following your specific model’s scheduled maintenance intervals outlined in the owner’s manual. We recommend only charging your Nissan LEAF or Nissan ARIYA to 80-90 percent to ensure a healthy battery life. Charging to 100 percent seems like a good idea in theory, but this actually does more harm than good in the long term. With proper care and driving habits, your Nissan EV can last as long as any conventional car, offering years of emission-free enjoyment and optimal Nissan EV range.
