Launched for the 2018 model year with sharper, more conventional styling and Nissan’s e-Pedal one-pedal driving mode, the second Leaf kept the first’s basic mechanical layout while addressing its two biggest complaints: modest range and modest power.[1] A larger 62 kWh e+ battery and 160 kW motor followed in January 2019, sold as the Leaf e+ outside North America and the Leaf Plus within it.

Both trims recorded here draw their range and consumption figures from EPA test records for the specific US-market variant named in Wikipedia’s own citations, which agree with the figures given in the article’s running text.
