4. Nissan Leaf
Model Years: 2011–Present;
Average Annual Repair Costs: $748*
The initial MSRP of the alternative fuel car, the Leaf, is $27,400. The car received a 6.5/10 on Car and Driver, and the reason for the lower rating could be attributed to the cost of repairs. Compared to other alternative fuel vehicles, the Leaf is significantly more expensive to repair and maintain—even more so than traditional petrol automobiles.

At $748 per year on average, the total cost is about $300 higher than other automobiles in the same class and nearly $100 more than other vehicle models. Used Leafs have “virtually zero dollars” in maintenance expenditures, so if you’d like one but don’t want to pay these expenses, MotorBiscuit made the point clear.
