The Mighty Nissan Leaf

The Nissan Leaf has earned its place as New Zealand's most popular electric vehicle, an icon of our EV journey. For many Kiwis, the Leaf was their very first EV, offering a reliable, affordable, and practical way to go electric. Consumer NZ has rated the Leaf as New Zealand's most reliable car on several occasions, reinforcing what owners already know: it's a vehicle that just works. Since their introduction here, Leafs have become beloved daily drivers, praised for their simplicity and low running costs.

Today, there are around 20,000 Nissan Leafs on New Zealand roads, making them one of the most recognisable EVs in the country. That popularity means something important: a vast support network, an abundant supply of parts, and widespread repair knowledge. Whether you're in Auckland or Invercargill, there's likely a Leaf expert nearby.

However, many of these early Leafs now face a serious issue, battery degradation. While the car itself often remains mechanically perfect, years of use have reduced battery capacity to the point where many Leafs are no longer practical for daily driving. Some now struggle to offer even 40 km of range on a full charge, rendering otherwise excellent vehicles nearly unusable.

That's where Electric Garage steps in. Our upgraded 40kWh battery solution doesn't just restore your Leaf — it makes it better than new, with up to 240 km of range and improved thermal performance. It's a second life for your Leaf and ready for years more service.
