Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (ZE1)

The Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (ZE1) reaches 60 mph in 7.08 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.58 s, tripping the lights at 88.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.48 s and the eighth mile in 10.03 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Leaf 40 kWh (ZE1)

The 2018 Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (ZE1) is a front-drive electric car of 1,580 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 93 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 2.48 s, and the question for an electric car is usually not the launch but whether it keeps pulling: it trips the quarter-mile lights at 88.7 mph. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,403rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 34th quickest of the 43 Nissans here. It leaves better than it pulls: 88.7 mph at the lights is only the 2,588th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 1 of 1 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Nissan Leaf 40 kWh (ZE1) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 1 of its 1 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-02. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
