Chevrolet, Nissan The new Chevy Bolt is here, taking the crown of “cheapest EV on the American market” from the third-generation Nissan Leaf — by a few hundred dollars, at least. The two cars are close in price, but they’re also close in range, size, weight, and just about everything else. In fact, they’re …

The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is back after a two-year hiatus, with a familiarly affordable price tag and better specs than ever. What’s great for EV buyers—maybe not as much for General Motors—is that Nissan had largely the same idea. The 2026 Leaf is back with a vengeance for the trusty EV’s third generation. The two models are America’s cheapest new …

“I’m going to buy that.”  That’s what a rideshare driver told me after I pulled up in the third-generation Nissan Leaf next to his Model Y at a Supercharger on Staten Island, New York City’s most remote and often-forgotten borough. Fed up with the stiff ride of his Model Y on the city’s bumpy roads, he said he was already eyeing …

Nissan invented the affordable electric vehicle, long before I even knew that was something I wanted. Back in 2010, when the Leaf debuted, electric cars were still seen as lame, tree-hugging experiments, and the Leaf didn’t do much to dispel the notion. It was slow, offered only around 100 miles of range and suffered from massive battery degradation because Nissan didn’t …

Nissan unveiled its third-generation Leaf earlier this year, but we were allowed some initial drive impressions on Wednesday. Of course, the first thing that stands out about the new Leaf is its design. Nissan says it’s adopting a subcompact crossover style instead of the hatchback style in the previous two iterations. I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart …

The $34,230 SV+ loses the panoramic roof and the interior V2L outlets, and you’ll have to manually open and close the tailgate at the back. And the alloy wheels are an inch smaller, which increases the range to 288 miles (464 km). But it keeps the heated front seats and the twin 14.3-inch displays (one for your instruments, one for …

The new 2026 Nissan LEAF will arrive at US dealerships any day now. And it’s even cheaper than the OG model launched in 2011. With prices starting under $30,000, Nissan says the new LEAF will be the most affordable EV in the US. And it’s bringing more range, faster charging, and plenty of other upgrades. 2026 Nissan LEAF prices and …

When it reaches dealerships this fall, the 2026 Leaf S Plus will start at $29,990 — or $31,485 when you factor in the $1,495 destination charge.
