LEAF estimated average
These curves are aggregated, owner-reported degradation data — not official manufacturer figures. Your own result above is the number that matters.
Wh/mi or Wh/km
On the infotainment screen, tap "EV" → "Energy" or "Consumption". On the LEAF, the energy usage screen shows Wh/mi or Wh/km. On the Ariya, check the "Driver Assistance" → "Energy" screen.
Estimated Range
Estimated range is displayed on the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel (digital or analog display) and in the EV menu.
Battery Percentage
Battery percentage is shown on the instrument cluster battery gauge. On the LEAF, the 12-bar gauge can be supplemented by the LeafSpy app for an exact percentage. The Ariya shows a direct percentage on the digital display.

About the Nissan LEAF
The Nissan Leaf was the world's first mass-market EV and has sold over 600,000 units globally. While it's now showing its age against newer competitors, it remains a practical and affordable option, especially on the used market.
The 40 kWh version offers 143 miles WLTP, while the 62 kWh e+ manages 239 miles. Critically, the Leaf uses passive air cooling rather than liquid cooling, which means the battery is more susceptible to degradation in hot climates and with frequent rapid charging.
The CHAdeMO charging standard (rather than the now-universal CCS) is becoming a limitation as fewer new public chargers support it. The Leaf also uses the e-Pedal one-pedal driving system, which many owners love. With production ending, the Leaf is being replaced by the Ariya, but hundreds of thousands remain on roads worldwide.
What the press thinks
Respected as a pioneer but now outclassed. Reviewers acknowledge its importance to EV adoption while noting the outdated charging standard, slow DC charging, and lack of battery thermal management as key weaknesses.
