Nissan Leaf price, lease and range: common questions
How much does the Nissan Leaf cost?
MSRP is $29,990 for the S+ to $38,990 for the PLATINUM+ in November 2026, plus a $1,575 destination fee. Tax, options and dealer markup are extra.
What is the Nissan Leaf price with destination?
$31,565 for the cheapest trim: $29,990 MSRP plus the $1,575 destination fee, before tax, registration and dealer fees.
Does the Nissan Leaf qualify for the $7,500 tax credit?
No. The federal clean vehicle credit is not available for new EVs acquired after September 30, 2025, so a Nissan Leaf you buy today doesn't qualify. The lease version of the credit ended the same day. Some states still pay their own rebate.
How much is a Nissan Leaf lease?
The lowest advertised Nissan Leaf lease we track is $459 a month for 48 months with $3,989 due at signing (SV+ trim; ends November 30, 2026; checked November 5, 2026). Spread over the term, that is about $542 a month before tax and fees. Offers depend on your ZIP code and credit; run the dealer's money factor and residual in our lease calculator.
What is the Nissan Leaf's range?
EPA range is 259 to 303 miles, depending on trim. Expect about 212 miles from the longest-range trim in cold weather; that figure is our estimate, not an EPA number.
Can the Nissan Leaf use Tesla Superchargers?
Yes. Its charge port is listed as NACS.
How fast does the Nissan Leaf charge?
10 to 80% takes about 35 minutes on a fast charger, with a peak of 150 kW.
