The 2026 Nissan Leaf represents a significant evolution in Nissan's electric vehicle lineup, following the original Leaf's success. It features two battery options: 52 kWh and 75 kWh, both equipped with thermal management systems to improve fast-charging capabilities and a range of up to 303 miles. The new model introduces a 3-in-1 EV powertrain for better efficiency and handling. Notably, it incorporates a Tesla-style NACS for fast charging and retains a J plug for AC charging, although the dual-system creates some user confusion. Overall, this launch is critical amid increasing competition in the EV market.
The Leaf adopts Nissan's new 3-in-1 EV powertrain, which integrates the motor, inverter, and reducer, improving responsiveness and refining the powertrain.
Confusingly, the NACS connector is only for DC fast charging. If you're going to level 2 charge, you must use the J plug or a NACS connector with an adapter.
