The Leaf has been on sale for nearly a decade now, and there have been very few problems reported. It’s certainly more reliable than a petrol or diesel car of the same age. The earliest cars will have a limited range these days though.

New Nissan Leafs have a battery warranty that covers it for eight years or 100,000 miles against defects or degradation of more than 25% of the original capacity. Older models are only covered for five years and 60,000 miles.

How much does it cost to charge a Nissan Leaf?

If you are charging at home and paying the UK average rate of 34p/kWh for your electricity, a Nissan Leaf will cost about £12 for a full charge. It will be a lot less if you plug in off peak and more at public points.
