But of those that are bought it is the Nissan Leaf that accounts for the bulk of those sales. And its easy to see why, on paper, it&#8217;s perfect. Fun and funky it promises to cost virtually nothing to run, plus the Leaf is a proper car, with room for the kids in the back and shopping in the generously sized boot.<\/p>\n<p>So the idea of an electric car can be pretty appealing particularly for those who have a short commute, access to public transport or a second car. But I live 5kms from the nearest town and have a totally unpredictable schedule so can I successfully adapt to the plug-in lifestyle?<\/p>\n<p>Instantly living with a Leaf adds a new dimension to my evening &#8211; plugging in my Leaf once I get home for the day. It takes over night to charge but it very quickly becomes as much a part of your routine as charging your mobile nightly.<\/p>\n<p>The first morning of the school run we buckle up and set off but instantly we discover switching the heating\u00a0 has an unfortunate side-effect\u00a0 immediately the range indicator plummets from 166 to 143 kms &#8211;\u00a0 I decide a burst of cold air is good for us but am quickly overruled by my seven and eight year old.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next few days I also figure out more about the Leaf&#8217;s\u00a0 range, it can be up to 250 kms but\u00a0 you&#8217;ll do that only if you drive it as if you&#8217;re balancing a bowl of water on the dashboard. Gently and smoothly. 120 is probably more realistic.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is you\u2019re kept updated about your economy, the remaining charge in the car, and where the nearest charging points can be found.<\/p>\n<p>The Leaf \u00a0is fun to drive &#8211; it&#8217;s fast to accelerate, \u00a0will do up 145km\/h and can overtake with ease<\/p>\n<p>So the challenge for week two. I promise to slow down and try a lighter touch &#8211; and drive it like it\u2019s actually intended.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #333333;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/living-with-a-leaf-week-two\/\">Living with a leaf &#8211; week 2<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #333333;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/living-leaf-week-3\/\">Living with a leaf &#8211; week 3<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/index.php\/nine-things-learned-driving-nissan-leaf-4-weeks\/\">9 Things I learned about driving an EV &#8211; week 4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nissan Leaf SVE (30KWH)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Engine:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a080kW(@3008-10000, 254@0-3008<br \/>\n<strong>Max speed:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0145km\/h<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>0-100 kph:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>11.5 seconds<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Emissions :<\/strong>\u00a0 0g\/km<br \/>\n<strong>Model price range:<\/strong>\u00a0\u20ac21,490 (Test Car \u20ac26,390)<br \/>\n<strong>No of Doors:<\/strong>\u00a05 doors<br \/>\n<strong>Euro NCAP :<\/strong>\u00a05 stars<br \/>\n<strong>Fuel type:<\/strong>\u00a0 Electric<br \/>\n<strong>Fuel Economy (combined cycle):\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a00 L\/100km<br \/>\n<strong>Boot Capacity Seats up:<\/strong>\u00a0 355 litres<br \/>\n<strong>Car Seats:<\/strong>\u00a02 Isofix fittings in the rear<br \/>\n<strong>Length<\/strong>: 4445 mm<br \/>\n<strong>Width:<\/strong>\u00a01770 mm<br \/>\n<strong>Height:<\/strong>\u00a01550 mm<br \/>\n<strong>Wheelbase:<\/strong>\u00a02700 mm<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information check out\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nissan.ie\/\">Nissan.ie\u00a0<\/a>Nissan Ireland\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NissanIreland\">Facebook\u00a0<\/a>page\u00a0or follow them on twitter\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NissanIreland\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Geraldine Herbert<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>22<span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px;\">nd<\/span>\u00a0October, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an effort to find out what it\u2019s really like to live with an electric car I am going to be doing just that for the next four weeks\u2013 Living with a Leaf We&#8217;ve had our new Nissan Leaf for a week now, our new ecar home charge point has been installed and we\u2019re ready [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15949,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,117,2885],"tags":[1385,774,52,657],"class_list":["post-15946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-features","category-latest","category-living-with-a-leaf","tag-electric-vehicle","tag-ireland","tag-nissan","tag-nissan-leaf"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
