With a brand spanking new Nissan Leaf, your total range on a charge will be from ~80-107 miles.
As the battery ages, that range goes down slowly.
As the weather gets cold, the range goes down.
As the roads get hillier, the range goes down.
If you park outside in the winter, the range goes down.
If you run the heat a lot, the range goes down.
If you drive in the dark (lights on) the range goes down a little.
If you rarely drive more than 40 or 50 miles, you should love the Leaf.
For longer trips, you can plan around quick charge stations to boost the range.
It's all about the range you need 98% of the time.
