Nissan’s game-changing Leaf launched in 2010 as the first modern EV, became history’s bestselling EV (until Tesla’s Model 3 overtook it) and then underwent a complete restyle in 2017.

Still Corolla-sized, Leaf II reached Australia in 2019 with a big battery boost (to 40kWh) to address earlier short-range issues. This effectively doubled it, while gaining a slightly more powerful110kW electric motor.
