Overview


The LEAF 3.ZERO e+ keeps Nissan's legendary fully electric model at the forefront of the electric cars on offer. The LEAF 3.ZERO e+ can be thought of as a premium version of the 2018 40kWh LEAF; so it has ProPILOT and the e-pedal feature, but its 62kWh battery means that range is over the psychologically important 200 mile barrier and a more powerful motor makes it a little more spritely too, with 0-60 in a brisk 7.2 seconds. There's even a fancy new touch screen infotainment system too.

Charging Details


Charging time for a Nissan Leaf

The table below shows the estimated time to charge your Leaf from empty to full. For rapid charging, we show the time to charge from 20% - 80%, as charging tends to slow outside this range to protect the battery.

* Based on Pod Point estimates, charging time can differ based on the ambient temperature, the state of the battery (e.g. empty or half full) and variation in charging rate. Max charging rate may also be limited by the vehicle.
** Range per hour is the number of miles you can expect to get from an hour of charging at the relevant rate.

* This metric estimates the environmental impact of driving your electric vehicle based on how the electricity that powers your car is generated. We take the average carbon intensity across the UK grid measured throughout 2021 to calculate the expected grams of CO2 emitted per 1 km driven. The actual number will vary by region, when you charge (e.g. carbon intensity is usually lower overnight period) and whether your electricity comes from more renewable sources than the average.
