Engine and Batteries
The car has an AC synchronous electric motor of 80 kW (107 bhp) with a torque of 280 Nm. The motor is powered by 48 lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries with a total capacity of 24 kWh. The batteries are located under the seats. This gives the car a low center of gravity. The battery pack will be covered by an 8-year, 100,000-mile warranty.Top speed of the car is 90 mph and has a 100 miles/charge based upon US EPA LA4 City cycle. At 55 mph on the highway in 95 degrees and the A/C on, expect the range to be 70 miles.
Charging
The car as an 3.3 kW onboard charger for the battery and comes with a portable trickle charge cable (120V/20-A). As the name implies, this will be primarily used for opportunity charging and is not recommended to be the primary method of charging. For that, Nissan has a home charging dock which uses a 220/240V 40A dedicated line in the home. A full charge will take 8h on a 220/240V home charging station.A 480V quick-charging capability will eventually be available in many markets once a standard is set. 480V quickcharge 80% full will take 30 minutes.
Further, the Nissan LEAF’s navigation system will be able to show the charging locations along the route.
