Nissan EV
Leaf platform (ZE0 and ZE1)The platform of the Nissan Leaf, a dedicated EV floor with the pack flat in the floor since the first generation. The second generation (ZE1) brought a larger pack and the e+ version with more power and range. Two things to know about a used Leaf: rapid charging uses CHAdeMO, a standard that is disappearing in Europe, and the battery has no active cooling, so successive rapid charges get slower. The successor runs on AmpR Medium, with CCS.
Nissan EV is the EV platform of Renault–Nissan, in production since 2011, with a 400V architecture. The Nissan EV platform carries 1 model from 1 brand. The WLTP range of the current variants on Nissan EV runs from 285 to 385 km.
Pick the car first, then the version — chemistry, battery and drive differ per version.
