Announcement of the 2016 Nissan LEAF with 30 kWh with 107 miles (172 km) of EPA range immediately shot the LEAF into first place in terms of range among non-Tesla electric cars (first 3 positions) – based on official EPA ratings.
Even the Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive, with the now standard “range package” – an additional 17 miles (on demand, after full charge) over the standard 87 miles EPA range, is below LEAF at 104 miles.
And still the LEAF manages to be under $30,000 after the $7,500 tax credit.
So it would seem, looking at the overall US data, that the 30 kWh LEAF (in SV/SL trim only) is a decent addition to the EV in its last model year before 2nd generation upgrade in the first half of 2017.
