Nissan LEAF
A popular electric vehicle in Quebec, the LEAF is available since last year with a larger-capacity battery pack. As such, the LEAF boasts a driving range of up to 243 kilometres with the 40-kWh battery, while the more-powerful LEAF PLUS can travel for up to 363 km on a single charge, thanks to its 62-kWh battery. We can also equip the car with front and rear heated seats, adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking.
