This second-generation Leaf takes what made the pioneer so good and improves upon it. A more modern look with a bigger 40kWh battery pack means the Mk2 Leaf can travel for 270 km before needing a recharge.

Charging times for the Mk2 Nissan Leaf are around six hours when using a dedicated home charge point. If you can access a public rapid charger, then you'll get an 80% recharge in about 40 minutes using the Leaf's CHAdeMO connection.
