Nissan Leaf
The Nissan Leaf is NZ’s most popular full electric used import. Around 80 vehicles were sold new between 2012 and 2015, but were undercut by used imports. Nissan did not re-supply new Leaf’s until the next generation (ZE1) in 2019.

NZ’s most popular used import EV. The Nissan Leaf was first registered in NZ in 2011, with an upgrade to the vehicle in late-2012. From 2016-2017 the 30 kWh battery became available.
Range is highly variable due to the level of battery wear. Don’t expect to get more than 125 km range from a 24 kWh Leaf. Generally the older the vehicle, the lower range.
The best use case for an older Leaf is as a city or urban-only car. Leafs do have DC charging capability but charge time and charging infrastructure make it a poor choice for regional travel.

In 2016 a 30 kWh battery version of the Leaf replaced the older 24 kWh versions. This provided a slightly longer range. Nissan New Zealand did not sell these vehicles, and all of them are used imports.
Range is entirely dependent on the battery state of health.

It is not the size of the current fleet, as some vehicles may subsequently be cancelled or de-registered. Raw submodel names are inconsistent, so for the pie charts the data has been 'fixed' to show more meaningful submodel names.
