The All‑New Nissan Leaf: Smart Range for Real Jersey Driving
Not every New Jersey driver needs a massive SUV or a luxury badge to go electric — but everyone needs an EV that actually fits their day‑to‑day life. Between long commutes, packed parking lots, and weather that can flip from heatwave to snowstorm in just days, practicality matters. That’s why the all-new Nissan Leaf was highlighted in Nielsen Editorial’s recent feature on best range EVs.
Redesigned and rethought for today’s drivers, the latest Leaf is no longer just the “starter EV” people remember. With up to around 300 miles of available range, it’s now built to handle real Garden State driving without making you plan your life around charging stops.
The Leaf shines in the places NJ drivers spend the most time: suburban roads, highways, and crowded lots where maneuverability actually matters. It’s quiet, smooth, and easy to live with, whether you’re crawling through Route 3 traffic or sneaking out early for a calmer drive down the Parkway. The cabin is clean and modern, with just enough tech to make driving easier (not more complicated).
Range‑wise, the Leaf hits a sweet spot. You can handle a full week of commuting, errands around Morristown or Ridgewood, and still have plenty of charge left for spontaneous plans. And, thankfully, you can do it all without constantly checking your battery percentage like it’s a countdown clock.
At Nielsen Nissan, we’re seeing more drivers realize that going electric doesn’t have to mean overthinking it. The new Leaf proves that smart range, comfort, and simplicity still go a long way in New Jersey.
