Nissan Leaf 52kWh vs BYD Dolphin Boost 44.9kWh 130kW
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the BYD Dolphin Boost 44.9kWh 130kW is the quicker car,
covering it in 15.79 s at
83.6 mph against the Nissan Leaf 52kWh’s
16.15 s — a margin of
0.36 s. To 60 mph the BYD Dolphin Boost 44.9kWh 130kW takes
7.13 s and the Nissan Leaf 52kWh
7.66 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.
Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the Nissan Leaf 52kWh,
2/2 for the BYD Dolphin Boost 44.9kWh 130kW —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the Nissan Leaf 52kWh or the BYD Dolphin Boost 44.9kWh 130kW faster?
The BYD Dolphin Boost 44.9kWh 130kW. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.79 s to the Nissan Leaf 52kWh's 16.15 s, a margin of 0.36 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.13 s against 7.66 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Nissan Leaf 52kWh 0-60 time?
The Nissan Leaf 52kWh reaches 60 mph in 7.66 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.15 s at 81.3 mph.
What is the BYD Dolphin Boost 44.9kWh 130kW 0-60 time?
The BYD Dolphin Boost 44.9kWh 130kW reaches 60 mph in 7.13 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.79 s at 83.6 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Nissan Leaf 52kWh trips the lights at 81.3 mph and the BYD Dolphin Boost 44.9kWh 130kW at 83.6 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the Nissan Leaf 52kWh and 2 of 2 for the BYD Dolphin Boost 44.9kWh 130kW. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
