Development historyeditNissan introduced its first battery electric vehicle, the Nissan Altra, at the Los Angeles International Auto Show on 2. December 1. 99. 7. The Altra was produced between 1. Only about 2. 00 vehicles were ever produced, and it was mainly used as a fleet vehicle for companies such as electric utilities.

A small fleet of Hyperminis was also field tested in several cities in California between 2. In 2. 00. 9, Nissan unveiled the EV 1. It was based on the Nissan Tiida Versa in North America, but with the conventional gasoline engine replaced with an all electric drivetrain, and included an 8. W 1. 10 hp2. 80 Nm 2.

The Leafs frontal style is characterized by a sharp V shape design with large, up slanting light emitting diode LED headlights that create a distinctive blue internal reflective design. The headlights also split and redirect airflow away from the door mirrors, which reduces wind noise and aerodynamic drag. The LED low beam headlights consume less electricity than halogen lamps. Nissan sought to make the Leaf appealing to mainstream drivers by giving it a familiar five door hatchback design. The bottom of the car has aerodynamic paneling to reduce drag and improve aerodynamics as much as possible. According to Nissan, the 2. MY Leaf has a drag coefficient of Cd0. Cd0. 2. 8 in 2. 01.
