In 2021, Nissan has two electric vehicles in production: the Leaf sedan and the Ariya, an SUV. The Nissan Leaf was first made in 2011. It remains a five-seat passenger sedan that is available in several different trim levels. The Nissan Leaf is offered with two batteries that give it up to 150 miles of range and 226 miles of range, respectively. The Leaf is well-equipped with safety technology, and it has standard satellite radio. The Nissan Ariya is an all-new electric car from Nissan and one of its most luxurious vehicles yet. Cutting-edge style and a sophisticated cabin are highlights of the Ariya.

A hybrid vehicle is one with an electric motor and a gasoline engine. Hybrids may have two or more electric motors, which are often powered by batteries. Hybrids will pull power from both their engine and motors to provide power and a good fuel economy. Hybrid plug-in cars have a similar mechanical configuration as hybrids, but they primarily use their electric motors for power and transition to gasoline energy only when required. Electric vehicles don't have a gas engine at all.

Range varies in Nissan's electric cars. The Nissan Leaf can get 150 miles to 226 miles of range. The Nissan Ariya will get up to 300 miles in range.

At home, with a 240V outlet, you can charge your Nissan in about eight hours. You can use a fast-charging outlet to charge the battery to 80% capacity in under 60 minutes on the road.

The Nissan Ariya has a tow rating of up to 1,500 pounds.
