What is Nissan's all electric car model called?

Nissan’s all-electric car model is called the Nissan Leaf.

The Leaf is a battery-electric vehicle produced by Nissan and first introduced as a production model in 2010. It was designed as a practical, zero-emission family car rather than a limited experimental vehicle, helping bring fully electric driving to a mass market. The name LEAF is commonly expanded as “Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car.”

The first-generation Leaf was a five-door hatchback powered by an electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack. Production began in Japan in October 2010, with sales launching in Japan and the United States later that year. A second generation arrived in 2017, and Nissan later reshaped the model into a crossover-style vehicle for its third generation.

The Leaf is sometimes confused with Nissan’s Ariya, another electric model in the company’s lineup. The Ariya is a larger crossover, while the Leaf is the name of Nissan’s long-running electric model line. The Leaf also helped establish Nissan as an early major automaker in modern mass-market electric cars.
