Quick Answer
The 2026 Nissan LEAF has been announced for the Canadian market (expected Fall 2026) as a battery electric vehicle. It has a starting MSRP of approximately $50,000 CAD. The estimated range is up to 488 km on a single charge. It is equipped with a 75 kWh battery. It is likely eligible for the federal EV Affordability Program (EVAP) rebate of up to $5,000 CAD, and may qualify for additional provincial rebates.
Winter range
Rated range is measured in mild conditions. Here is roughly what to expect once it is cold, from real-world data rather than a rule of thumb.
At 0°C
381 km
Likely between 337 km and 429 km depending on the car
At −7°C
342 km
A normal January day across most of Canada
If you can only charge from a normal outlet
A standard 120V household outlet adds about 17.3 kWh over 12 hours — roughly 112 km of driving in mild weather, or about 79 km in the cold. For a commute shorter than that, Level 1 keeps up overnight without a charger installation.
Whether this vehicle has a heat pump is not recorded, so the band above covers both cases. Estimated from Recurrent winter range study — real-world telemetry from more than 30,000 vehicles across 34 models. A heat pump is the single biggest factor in cold weather, worth about 10 percentage points at 0°C.
