Nissan has canceled plans for a new entry-level trim of the LEAF EV, which was expected to start under $30,000 for the 2026 model year. The updated LEAF features a taller design, longer range, and a built-in NACS port for Tesla Supercharger compatibility. The LEAF S+ starts at $29,990, making it one of the most affordable EVs in the US, alongside the 2027 Chevy Bolt. Despite previous announcements, the anticipated cheaper trim will not be added to the lineup.
