Breaking down Nissan Leaf Charging in Australia

The Nissan Leaf has been one of the best selling all electric vehicles in the Australian market and the best selling plug in car in the USA.

With a range of up to 240km the Nissan Leaf is the perfect car for people based in capital cities such as Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane who only do small amounts of driving on a daily basis. According to many reports only 10% of Sydney residents travel more than 100km in a day, which makes range anxiety non-existant for many of these people and thus the Nissan Leaf a perfect everyday car.

Aside from the obvious environmental benefits of driving an electric car of not emitting any CO2 emissions resulting in a greener more environmentally ride around town, the Nissan Leaf comes with some significant cost saving benefits for the more financially discerning buyer.

Fuel Savings

When was the last time you looked forward to the bill when you filled up your car? Maybe the early 90s when petrol was 40c a litre? Well guess what, with global instability and the unpredictability of oil supply chances are the price of petrol won’t be coming down any time soon. With a Nissan Leaf charger you can easily charge your vehicle at home. no more stops at the petrol station.

So how much will you save with a Nissan Leaf?

According to the interactive caculator on nissan.com.au based on:

-263km driven per week x $1.26/L fuel cost x 10.9L/100 km fuel consumption

Year 1 = $1172 

Year 5 = $5858 

In anyones language saving over $1000 a year is fantastic!
