Nissan Leaf E+ may lose 25 miles of range in higher trims, report says
https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/nissan-leaf-e-plus-trim-range-disparity-report/
No matter the trim, though, all models receive Nissan's ProPilot Assist semi-automated lane-holding system, in addition to a beefier electric motor that's more powerful than the one on the short-range Leaf.
The automaker "downplayed the CARB estimates" in AN's report, reiterating that the EPA has not yet published its official estimates. When asked to comment on the report, Nissan made the same points, including pointing out weight differences between trims and just how different EPA and CARB measurements are. We shouldn't have to wait too long for the EPA to put out its numbers, though, since the vehicle arrives at dealerships this spring. It will be interesting to see just how big the gulf is between the base Leaf E+ and its higher trims when those numbers become public.
