Nissan Leaf (first generation)

Automobiles

The first generation of the Nissan Leaf was built by Nissan from 2010 to 2017. It is a compact car whose name is a backronym for leading environmentally-friendly affordable family car, and it is the first mass-marketed, series-produced battery electric vehicle, offered only as a five-door hatchback. The Leaf, Nissan's second battery-electric car, debuted on 2 August 2009 after three prototypes called EV-01, EV-02 and EV-11, and it followed the unsuccessful Altra. Production began in Japan on 22 October 2010, at Smyrna on 13 December 2012 and at Sunderland on 27 March 2013. A pack of 192 laminated lithium-ion cells developed with NEC sits under the floor and feeds an 80 kW AC motor good for up to 100 miles. Full charging takes 16 hours on 120 V or 8 hours on 230 V, and fast charging restores 80 percent in about 30 minutes. The second generation replaced it in 2017.
