Nissan announced battery specs for new Leaf. 30 kWh battery, 107 miles of range.

But despite our personal disappointment, this is an upgrade in comparison with the previous installment. The 2016 version of Nissan Leaf offered 30 kWh battery only on higher trims. From next year it will be present on all trims but that will increase the price of base version for about $1,600. Ina accordance with this you will have to pay $30,680 for S trim; $34,200 for SV; and $36,790 fro SL.

The "Buggy" styling is a huge turn-off for me.

Just as a comparison between the Leaf and Tesla S, both base models:
- Battery Capacity: Leaf 30 kWh; Tesla 60 kWh (50% of a Tesla)
- EPA Range: Leaf 107 miles; Tesla 218 miles (49% of a Tesla)
- Cost: Leaf $30,680; Tesla $64,800 (47% of a Tesla)

So basically, a Nissan Leaf is like half a Tesla S, which is great news for EV fans on a budget.

FWIW, I thought you'd get more range per kWh as the vehicle got smaller and lighter.

107 miles I don't think is going to cut it. It may be enough range for most trips, but isn't enough to prevent range anxiety. The Bolt will be an easy decision over this for those that did not preorder a Model 3.

In fact it's embarrassingly low.
