The 2021 Nissan Leaf is rated at 240 km (149 mi) on the EPA test cycle. That's a laboratory figure — in mixed real-world driving expect roughly 228 km, less in winter or at sustained highway speed. On a road-network range map that's rarely a neat circle — terrain, highways and coastlines shape where one charge can actually take you. For a trip out and back home without charging, plan around an effective radius of about 120 km.
