The new version of the Leaf — dubbed “Leaf e+” — will be able to travel 226 miles on a full charge, Nissan says, which is about a 40 percent improvement in range.The new Leaf e+ will also be more powerful than its predecessors. It will be available this month in Japan for ¥4,162,320 (about $38,300), and will arrive in Europe in “mid-2019,” Nissan says, where it will cost 45,500 euro (about $51,900). The Leaf e+ will come to the US in the spring, but no pricing has been announced. It will also be sold in three trim levels, two of which will undoubtedly increase the starting price.The current Leaf debuted in 2017, and it’s a pretty dramatic refresh of one of the most popular (and oldest) EVs around. It features a 40kWh battery that is good for about 150 miles of range, and it also offers Nissan’s ProPilot driver assistance technology, which handles highway driving as well as parking. Perhaps more importantly, Nissan made the new Leaf look far more approachable. The bubbly headlights are gone, and the car has a much more modern style (though the interior is quite sparse).The verge</blockquote>
