Second‑Generation Launch
The ZE1 is the North American 2nd‑generation Leaf, succeeding the first‑generation (ZE0) which was produced from 2010 to 2017. Used‑parts listings show ZE1 models spanning 2017‑2026, confirming its launch in 2017 and ongoing production.
Built on a Pioneering EV Heritage
The original Leaf was unveiled on 1 August 2009 as the world’s first series‑produced battery‑electric car and became the first mass‑market fully‑electric vehicle from a major automaker for the 2011 model year. The ZE1 inherits this pioneering status as the next evolution of that historic platform.
Rare Parts and Strong Battery Value
ZE1 spare parts are hard to find in junkyards because the vehicles are not yet common and the high‑value EV battery is often retained. Nevertheless, over 4,000 used ZE1 parts are available online, and specialized JDM suppliers offer rare discontinued components directly from Japan.
