The 2024 Nissan Leaf is the cheapest EV on sale right now, but it's lacking some key features, like a CCS-enabled DC fast charging port.
Fifteen years ago, when the original Nissan Leaf was introduced, it seemed like it would have been the surefire winner of the growing EV wars. That first-generation Leaf was the ultimate way for eco-minded drivers to express to the world that they were so much better than everyone else. It was the logical next step of the stereotypical Toyota Prius driver: they’d migrate to a Leaf, break up with gas entirely, and then the Leaf would dominate the future of transportation. Yet, that didn’t happen.
Even if we ignore the charge port compatibility woes, the Leaf’s charging abilities appear lackluster compared to modern EVs which are only slightly more expensive. The Leaf lacks features like battery charging preconditioning or preheating. Heck, its battery is still air-cooled, not liquid-cooled like most of its EV competitors. On the AC charging front, there is no way to adjust the maximum amps the car will pull from a level 1 or level 2 charger.
