Congrats on taking that step toward a cleaner future by purchasing an electric vehicle! Unfortunately, you’ve heard correctly—the Nissan Leaf does not usually have a spare tire.
Like many electric vehicles, the Leaf’s battery pack takes up the space where a spare tire would normally fit. Even with its very respectable 23.6 cubic feet of cargo storage, there just isn’t enough space or any available recess where a spare tire could safely be stored.
That said, the Nissan Leaf does come equipped with a standard tire repair kit. While this doesn’t provide quite as much security as a spare, it will at least help you get to a repair shop safely.
Whether the Leaf’s lack of a spare alters your decision to purchase one or not, you’ll want to make sure you protect your new electric vehicle with quality car insurance. Jerry
, the car insurance savings super app, can help you find the lowest available car insurance rate for your Nissan Leaf
(or whichever EV you choose). All you have to do is download Jerry (for free), input some basic info, and in under a minute, you’ll have access to the most affordable premiums available from over 55 top insurers. The average Jerry user ends up saving more than $800 a year on car insurance, so it’s definitely worth the quick look to keep that Leaf protected for less!
