As the recipient of the 2018 World Green Car award, the new Nissan Leaf will fit your needs if you’re looking to get off the fossil-fuel habit and want an electric that still costs less than an average vehicle even without the federal $7,500 tax credit. The 150-mile distance between recharging does much to reduce the range anxiety associated with the original.
The new Leaf probably won’t cut it as your only vehicle in the household. While it will go farther between plug-ins, the time it takes to replenish the battery even with quick charging still makes the car marginal at best as a road-tripper. If semi-regular trips out of town are part of your lifestyle, you’re probably better off with a plug-in hybrid.
