McLarty Daniel Nissan is Fully Charged with Electric Vehicles

Gas prices got you down? All your money going to fill up your tank? Maybe it’s time to consider an electric vehicle. While the idea of an EV sounds great, drivers are used to what they know, which is gas-powered cars, trucks, SUVs & vans. Maybe it’s time you left your gas tank on E and filled up your bank account. Plug into a Nissan EV, available now at McLarty Daniel Nissan off Moberly Lane in Bentonville.

Learn How Electric Cars Work

More and more drivers are turning to EVs as an alternative to gas-guzzlers. Some people consider the environment as a driving factor in making the switch. Others are looking at it from an economic standpoint. The idea of never paying for gas again sounds too good to be true. But the reality is, once you make the switch, you’ll start to discover for yourself that maybe an EV is your answer.

Nissan currently offers two EV models, the Ariya and the LEAF. In the past, there have been very few electric cars on the market to choose from. The EV landscape is changing due to public demand for electric vehicles that have everything a gas-powered car has to offer. As the great Hannah Montana once said, “it’s the best of both worlds.”

While some manufacturers are just now starting to throw their hats in the ring, Nissan has been in the electrified game for quite some time. Nissan’s first electric car, the LEAF, debuted in 2010 as an alternative to the Toyota Prius. So what does the LEAF stand for? Leading Environmentally-friendly Affordable Family car. That’s a mouthful, so we understand why Nissan shortened the name. Plus, LEAF is kinda cute, especially since it’s also a nod to Mother Nature. 

Let’s take a closer look at the LEAF and see if this might be the EV you’ve been searching for. Classified as a hatchback, it starts at $28,040 and comes in two different trim levels, the S and SV Plus. What’s the difference between them? The SV gets 149 MPGe (miles per gallon of gasoline equivalent), while the SV Plus battery gives you a longer charge so you can drive up to 212 miles. You also won’t be missing out on any of the features you’re used to in our other Nissan models. The LEAF has ProPILOT Assist, Intelligent Around View Monitor and Intelligent Driver Alertness. 

What is Nissan ProPILOT Assist?

The newest EV to the Nissan family is the Ariya, a crossover with a standard range of 304 miles that also packs a punch with an acceleration of 0-60 in 7.2 seconds and 238 horsepower. There are four trim levels available with different batteries that can increase your acceleration speed of 0-60 in 4.8 seconds and provide up to 389 horsepower.

Since not everyone is interested in those types of details, let’s talk about the inside. Experience sound isolation, which blocks out all the outside noises. Enjoy heated seats and steering wheel as well as climate-controlled front seats. You’ll also get ProPILOT Assist 2.0 and ProPILOT Park, as well as safety features like Intelligent Rear View Mirror and Front and Rear Sonar System.

We know what you’re thinking. Both of these EVs are great choices, and all of this sounds well and good, but what about charging the vehicles? Nissan’s already ahead of you. They’ve partnered with EVgo, one of the nation’s largest networks of public fast chargers. This program provides access to complimentary charging stations to people purchasing or leasing a new Nissan EV. If buying or leasing a LEAF, you’ll get $100 EVgo charging credits, while Ariya qualifying customers will receive one year of unlimited charging.  

What’s the Difference Between Level 1, Level 2 and DC Fast Chargers for EVs?

We know change can be scary, but sometimes it’s necessary. Not only necessary, but it could end up being exactly what you didn’t know you were missing. If you’re ready to make the switch and ditch the gas, we’re here to help you plug in. Just think about how much money you could save with an EV if you’re having to drive from Fayetteville to Rogers every day or even further to Eureka Springs or Joplin. McLarty Daniel Nissan is ready to get all of Northwest Arkansas driving a Nissan, whether that’s an EV or one of our other models.
