The 2011/12 model Leaf has a top speed of over 150 km/h (93 mph). Other companies make compatible charging stations, and companies and local government have various initiatives to create electric vehicle networks of public charging stations. Nissan warns that if fast charging is the primary way of recharging, then the normal and gradual battery capacity loss is about 10% more than regular 240-volt charging over a 10-year period. The SL trim had an optional CHAdeMO port with which it can be charged from fully discharged to 80% capacity in about 30 minutes.
Using mains electricity and the included cable, the car regains about eight km (five miles) of range per hour. US-market SV and SL trims had an SAE J1772 connector for (120/240 volts AC). It is 175 km (109 miles) on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rated it 21.2 kWh/100 km and had a range of 117 km (73 miles). The Leaf was preceded by the low-volume Altra station wagon (1997–2001) and Hypermini microcar (1999–2001). Nissan electric vehicles have existed since 1946. It may also provide two-way communication with the car which enables remote control of the climate system, and monitoring of charging status. As of 2017 it offers GPS data for routing, and for locating charging stations. Rebranded NissanConnectEV in 2016, it is provided free of charge to owners, if equipped, depending on year and model. 2G has been decommissioned in many areas, requiring an upgrade of the telematic control unit to use newer networks. From 2011 to 2015 this used the 2G cellular network. Some vehicles initially came equipped with the telematics system CarWings. However, since the Leaf costs significantly more than similar internal combustion vehicles, it may take longer for the fuel savings to cancel out the increased initial cost, even after government incentives for plug-in electric vehicles. The Leaf is generally cheaper to operate than internal combustion engine and hybrid cars. Nissan reports the 2011 Leaf has a drag coefficient of C d=0.29 and the 2013 model C d=0.28. Īccording to a 2015 report by Warranty Direct, of 35,000 Leafs sold in Europe, three had had a battery failure for a rate of 0.01%, for internal combustion engined cars the failure rate is 25 times higher. There is a battery refurbishment program in Japan, but not in the US. There is no active cooling of the battery pack, only passive cooling by radiation. It's guaranteed for eight years or 100,000 miles in the USA, and 100 000 km or 5 years in Europe. The battery is manufactured by Automotive Energy Supply Corporation. The Leaf was initially equipped with a 24 kWh lithium ion battery, later increased to 30 kWh.
The Leaf is powered by an electric synchronous motor of 80 kW (107 hp) and 280 N⋅m (207 ft⋅lb) driving the front wheels. The battery, the heaviest part of most electric vehicles, is situated below the seats and rear foot space, keeping the center of gravity as low as possible and giving the car better structural rigidity than a conventional five-door hatchback. The body has a sharp V-shape design with large, up slanting headlights that split and redirect airflow away from the door mirrors, and the bottom of the car has aerodynamic panelling. Nissan sought to make the Leaf appealing to mainstream drivers by giving it a familiar five-door hatchback design. The EV-12 test car was based on the Nissan Tiida/Versa. The Tesla Model 3 surpassed the Leaf in early 2020 to become the all-time best selling electric car. The Leaf listed as the world's all-time top selling plug-in electric car through December 2019. As of September 2021, European sales totaled more than 208,000 units, and, as of December 2021, over 165,000 units had been sold in the U.S., and 157,000 in Japan. Global sales totaled 577,000 Leafs by February 2022. Īmong other awards and recognition, the Leaf has won the 2010 Green Car Vision Award, the 2011 European Car of the Year, the 2011 World Car of the Year, and the 2011–2012 Car of the Year Japan. The Leaf's range on a full charge has been increased gradually from 117 km (73 miles) to 364 km (226 miles) ( EPA rated), due to the use of a larger battery pack along with several minor improvements. It was introduced in Japan and the United States in December 2010 and is currently in its second generation, introduced in October 2017. The Nissan Leaf ( Japanese: 日産・リーフ, Hepburn: Nissan Rīfu), stylized as LEAF, is a compact five-door hatchback battery electric vehicle (BEV) manufactured by Nissan.
