Nissan was one of the first mass manufacturers to rely on electric vehicles. The flagship of the direction remains Nissan Leaf is the best-selling electric car in the world with an accumulated circulation of more than 600 thousand copies. In 2026, the model received an updated battery with a capacity 62 kWh, which increased the power reserve to 400 km on WLTP cycle (actual reserve in winter is 250–300 km).
