In the summer of 2014 Nissan launched the wildly successful “prankvertising” campaign and told random participants that they were about to ride in a new Altima race car.

2015 Nissan Leaf range and price

Time and time again the Nissan Leaf has proved that it’s much more than a small plug-in. It’s powerful, efficient and delivers a dynamic driving experience that drivers love so much that it’s now the best-selling plug-in vehicle in the United States. That’s a quite a title and the Nissan Leaf beats out the likes of competitors like the Chevy Volt. In the month of March 2015 the Nissan Leaf sold 1,817 and the Chevy Volt only 639 vehicles. For some time the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt were head to head for the title of best seller with the Volt ahead of the Leaf by only two vehicles at the end of February. So what makes the Nissan Leaf popular enough? What’s the “secret sauce?” It addition to a variety of factors, it comes down to the 2015 Nissan Leaf’s range and price. The 2015 Nissan Leaf starts as low as $29,010 MSRP and can travel 84 miles on a full battery charge. This mileage puts the 2015 Nissan Leaf as a leader in the electric plug-in class. The Nissan Leaf is 100 percent electric compared to the Chevy Volt that is a hybrid plug-in that combines electric and gasoline power. While the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt are similar, both couldn’t be more different.
