Nissan LEAF vs Zeekr 7GT

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 313 miles for the Nissan LEAF and 269 miles for the Zeekr 7GT - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Nissan LEAF goes roughly 43 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 30 minutes in the Nissan LEAF and 13 in the Zeekr 7GT, so the Zeekr 7GT loses less time at each stop. So the Nissan LEAF stops less often while the Zeekr 7GT stops for less time - pick on which you would rather do.

The Nissan LEAF is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 100 mm narrower than the Zeekr 7GT. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 590 mm of total clearance for the Nissan LEAF and about 490 mm of total clearance for the Zeekr 7GT.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Nissan LEAF and 90% for the Zeekr 7GT. That gives the Zeekr 7GT a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Zeekr 7GT's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Nissan LEAF's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use.
