Off the line, the Dolphin Boost 150kW hits 100 km/h in 6.93 s versus 8.05 s for the Leaf 40kWh ZE1. At this point, the Dolphin Boost 150kW leads by 1.12 s and sits roughly 3 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW is doing 126 km/h against 116 km/h for the Leaf 40kWh ZE1. The gap is 0.41 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Dolphin Boost 150kW crosses the line in 15.13 s versus 16.03 s. The 0.90 s gap represents roughly 35 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 160 km/h versus 144 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Dolphin Boost 150kW finishes in 28.66 s versus 31.05 s, with a 2.39 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Dolphin Boost 150kW is capped at 160 km/h, the Leaf 40kWh ZE1 at 144 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two electric powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.30 kg/hp vs 10.53 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 13.39 seconds. The 1.12 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
