Fred Beans Nissan of Doylestown

The beautiful thing about the 2012 Nissan LEAF is that you never have to stop at a gas station again. The charge lasts for 100 miles, but there is an available "Quick Charge" feature which will charge 80% of the battery in less than 30 minutes. The 2012 Nissan LEAF comes fully loaded with everything from navigation to LED head/tail lights to regenerative braking, to Bluetooth  and USB port. It boasts 100% of the torque right off the line combined with zero tailpipe emissions.
Kelley Blue Book reviewers comment on the driving impressions of the Nissan LEAF, classifying the ride as unremarkable, but in a good way. Other than its electric motor, the 2012 Nissan LEAF rides and handles much like any other economy car. When loaded with passengers, the LEAF didn't struggle or strain as would a conventional 4-cylinder. The electric motor delivers a lot of torque, resulting in brisk acceleration. There is also an ECO mode which conserves energy but is not as potent.
Energized by a 24kWH lithium-ion-manganese-graphite battery pack mounted beneath its floor and warranted for eight years/100,000 miles, the LEAF's 80kw/107 horsepower motor/generator develops 206.5 pound-feet of torque from zero rpm. Sent to the front wheels via a single-speed reduction gear, it makes this 3,370 pound Nissan surprisingly quick off the line, takes it from 60 mph in about 10 seconds and lets it reach 90 mph.
While driving conditions and temperature extremes will impact real-world range, the ECO mode rolls back throttle response and steps up the regenerative braking effect that can help stretch its 100-mile change potential by roughly 10 percent. Nissan says that recharging will run $3 or less, and that unless the price of gasoline dips below $1.10 per gallon, the LEAF's "fuel" costs will be less than a conventional car that averages 25 miles to the gallon.
