Nissan Leaf S: what to know
The 2025 Nissan Leaf S is a 5-seat hatchback with an EPA range of 149 mi from a 40 kWh battery, starting at $28,990 MSRP.
DC fast charging peaks at 50 kW but a 10–80% top-up takes around 40 minutes, so this is happiest as a home-charged daily driver rather than a frequent road-tripper.
It uses 30 kWh per 100 miles, so at the US-average home rate of $0.16/kWh it costs about 4.8¢ per mile to fuel — roughly $624 a year at 13,000 miles.
