Performance & Handling
The fully-electric 2012 LEAF come equipped with an 80 kW AC synchronous

combination produces 107 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque, and
Nissan notes that the LEAF enjoys instant 100 percent torque at 0mpg.
The LEAF also features a regenerative breaking system that, while
driving in Eco mode, can extend driving range up to 10 percent. The EPA

combined.
Additional features include an automatic battery heater that activates
when the outside temperature drops below that which the battery can
perform well in, a 3.3 kW onboard charger, a 120V portable trickle
charging cable, and the SL trim adds both a Quick Charge Port and a
spoiler-mounted solar panel to help charge the 12-V accessory
battery. |
