Winter and summer: the effect on cost

For the reference version (30 kWh 6,6 kW-AC · 2015), in an oceanic climate (western France) and mixed driving: 18.8 kWh/100 km in January, i.e. €3.35 per 100 km off-peak, against 16.7 kWh/100 km in July, i.e. €2.97. Charging therefore costs about 13 % more in January than in July.

Compared with other models

At 16.5 kWh/100 km (reference version), the Nissan Leaf ranks 43 out of 230 models in the Watt Budget database, from most to least frugal. The median is 18.4 kWh/100 km.
