The average American drives less than 37 miles per day. With a maximum range of up to 107 miles, the Nissan LEAF® SV & SL can take you nearly three times that distance on a single charge.

As it was pointed out you "can do" 107 miles in a 2011 Nissan Leaf on a single charge, but it is not the official range figure. Marketing talk. Caveat emptor.NissanClient73 wrote:Advertisement from Nissan:

Misleading advertising is prohibited by law. I am surprised there was no class action for that yet.Valdemar wrote:As it was pointed out you "can do" 107 miles in a 2011 Nissan Leaf on a single charge, but it is not the official range figure. Marketing talk. Caveat emptor.
How much more disclosure do you really need other than the official EPA range ratings? Also, most 2011/12 purchasers had to sign a disclosure form that clearly explained what range should be expected from the car under real world driving conditions in different scenarios. The only illusion I had when I bought the car was about the battery longevity, not the range. The class action about the abysmal longevity has already happened, if you did not opt out at the time you're now a part of the class and cannot sue Nissan separately. You can try the BBB route to get a new battery out of Nissan as many of us successfully done, but given the age of your vehicle it will likely be an uphill battle.NissanClient73 wrote:Misleading advertising is prohibited by law.

Some people do not realize, that consumers are not specialists. Consumers should not be expected to perform their own research prior to purchasing the product.
All information provided by the seller should be clearly and fully disclosed.
It sure is, but the bar in determining that something is misleading is actually pretty high.NissanClient73 wrote:Misleading advertising is prohibited by law.Valdemar wrote:As it was pointed out you "can do" 107 miles in a 2011 Nissan Leaf on a single charge, but it is not the official range figure.

We did not sign any disclosures. No one has provided the official EPA range ratings to us. Back in 2011 Nissan advertised 100 miles range on fully charged battery. I clearly remember that, and I am sure I am not alone. I remember that we asked the dealer about the realistic range, and he answered that it depends on our “driving style”. He said if you drive on eco mode, with air conditioner off, the car will go 100 miles. It never did. We have discussed that with other Nissan owners, and they all agreed that Nissan faulsy advertised the car.Valdemar wrote:NissanClient73 wrote:Valdemar wrote:How much more disclosure do you really need other than the official EPA range ratings?

Here are some URLs showing the 73 mile range figure on the 2011 Leaf window sticker.NissanClient73 wrote:No one has provided the official EPA range ratings to us.
