Gary, Nissan's diagram says they used Gen 2 Prius dimensions - so likely 2002-2009 Prius.

Dav said:The Leaf should have a standard compact spare. I can't imagine a "real" production vehicle without one. The RAV4-EV moved the spare from the rear door to where the mufflers would have been.
Randy3 said:An earlier post indicated that some people with smart cars carry a spare. What size would they carry? The smart has different size front/back tires. So they would need to make some assumptions, wouldn't they?
EVDRIVER said:Run flat tires are heavy, less efficient and have lower ride quality and performance. The MINI (real production car) uses them as it has NO spare and most drivers go to traditional tires and a can of run flat. Since the Leaf will have LRR tires it may have a spare, which is just extra weight for a car that only goes less than 100 miles, so why bother. If you have AAA I suggest upgrading to platinum for EV owners as towing will cover the Leaf range at no charge.
evnow said:Just to repeat - Nissan Leaf comes with free 3 year roadside assistence.

mitch672 said:You can see the rear cargo area and how the shelf will look, when the seats are folden in this picture..
it will not make a large flat area like the Prius, but will have a stepped shelf look, looks to be at least 6" or 8" above the "floor" of the cargo area.
