The Leaf e+ features a single electric motor that produces 215 hp (160 kW) and (251 lb-ft) 340 Nm of torque, allowing it to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in a mere 6.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 158 km/h (98 mph). Nissan has also equipped the Leaf e+ with a 100 kW peak Quick Charging system that means its battery can be topped up from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in 45 minutes. The EV also features bi-directional charging that means energy from the battery pack can also be returned back to a home or other premises when required.

“The Nissan LEAF is one the world’s most popular electric vehicle, the new Nissan LEAF e+ will only further that appeal by delivering more of what our customers love about their EV,” Nissan Australia managing director Stephen Lester said in a statement. “With more power, more range and more performance, as well as full bi-directional charging capability, the e+ is simply more LEAF, and helps ensure there really is an EV to suit every need in Australia.
