The 2023–2025 Nissan Leaf SV Plus is the range-extended version of the world's first mass-market EV. Equipped with a 60-kWh battery, it provides up to 212 miles of range and a more powerful 214-hp motor. Key features include the ProPILOT Assist suite, an 8-inch touchscreen with smartphone integration, and the versatile e-Pedal for one-pedal driving. Note that it still utilizes the CHAdeMO port for DC fast charging, supporting up to 100 kW.
