Nissan Leaf 40kWh ZE1: what you need to know
Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.
Where does the Leaf 40kWh ZE1 rank in its segment?
Among the 2 compacts electric 2016–2020, the Leaf 40kWh ZE1 ranks WLTP range (270 km, behind the BMW i3s), 0–100 km/h (7.9 s, behind the BMW i3s).
What is the WLTP range of the Leaf 40kWh ZE1?
270 km WLTP announced - making it the WLTP range out of 2 models. The reference is the BMW i3s (330 km).
How much does the Leaf 40kWh ZE1 cost to run?
Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.
Why not a BMW i3s instead?
The BMW i3s leads in WLTP range (330 km vs 270 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Leaf 40kWh ZE1 vs BMW i3s duel for a detailed comparison.
How does Caralogy calculate its figures?
Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
