Nissan's own electric motor, fitted in the Leaf and e-NV200. Proven, but early 24 kWh batteries degrade quickly.

  • !! Accelerated battery degradation (no active cooling) from 80,000 km

    The Nissan Leaf uses passive air cooling for the battery. Especially the 24 kWh variant (ZE0) loses significant capacity in warm climates or with frequent fast charging. Remaining capacities below 70% after 80,000 km are documented.

    Symptoms: Decreasing range, fewer capacity bars on display, shorter distances per charge

  • !! Rapidgate: Charging throttled during repeated fast charging

    The Leaf ZE1 (40 kWh) drastically throttles fast charging speed after multiple CHAdeMO sessions on a long trip. The cause is the absence of active battery temperature management. Nissan improved the software but did not fully resolve the issue.

    Symptoms: Charging speed drops drastically during the second or third fast charge session, charging times double
