Look at this guy with his 3 Leafs. Talk to us when you get a 4th.... Pffftt...
In all seriousness, is that closest one a Leaf? Can't tell but some shapes look different.

Looks like one of those fancy new shaped ones with the big batteries
It is. Nissan decided to make a few changes to the leaf and call it a refreshed version.
Naturally they made the turning circle worse, removed the option to limit the battery to 80%, made the handling worse, reduced the glove box size, made the console smaller and an awkward shape, and made the battery overheating worse by cramming more cells in the same space with no active cooling. But at least they did give it more range.
Despite all these frustrations I still love the car. I don't think I'll be replacing it for at least another 10 years.
I think the 80% charge limit option is a spec thing, my UK built 2015 S doesn't have that option, not that it's an issue as ours is always charged on a granny charger, it's only ever had 32 QC's in 84,763km, 1563 L1/L2 charges and is currently at 84.74 SOH
