About Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (2022-…)

The Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (2022-…) is an all-electric front-wheel drive hatchback. It came out in 2022 replacing the older Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (2017-2022). Brand new, the car starts around $29,280.

The Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (2022-…) has a 40 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 148 mi on a single charge — ranked №663 out of 761 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (2022-…) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 110 kW (148 hp) of power and 236 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 7.7 seconds (№60 out of 116 ranked positions, among 761 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 90 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (2022-…) is 148 miles, ranking it №198 out of 242 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (2022-…) in the USA is equipped with a CHAdeMO charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 6.6 kW, which translates to roughly 23 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (2022-…) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 50 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (2022-…) comes in the following dimensions:

Length: 176.4 in
