Nissan Leaf Spark Plugs — Does It Have Any?
The Nissan Leaf is a 100% battery-electric vehicle. It has no combustion engine, so it has no spark plugs and none ever need changing.
Spark plugs exist to ignite the air-fuel mixture in a petrol engine. The Leaf produces power from an electric motor, so there are no spark plugs, glow plugs or ignition coils to service.
What the Nissan Leaf actually needs
Electric cars still use routine consumables. For the Leaf, the parts that wear and need replacing are:
- Wiper blades — correct sizes and fitting type
- Cabin (pollen) filter — type and replacement interval
- 12V battery — the Leaf still has a 12V battery for its electronics
- Bulbs — headlight, indicator and interior fitments
It is also worth keeping an eye on brake fluid, tyres and brake pads, although EV brakes often last longer thanks to regenerative braking.

How we check fitment for this guide
We cross-reference fitment figures against manufacturer specifications and OE-supplier catalogue data where available, and matched to the standard codes that actually govern fit — battery type/group sizes, wiper lengths and fitting types, bulb fitment codes, tyre size markings, and oil specifications. We work by make, model, year, engine, and build date, because a single model can take different parts across its life. Where the right part depends on your exact vehicle, we tell you to confirm by registration or VIN. More on our method →
