How Far Can the Nissan LEAF Drive When Fully Charged?
It is important to note that mileage will vary depending on driving habits, terrain/topography, weather conditions, battery age and condition, temperature extremes, use of air conditioning and heating systems.
Nissan Leaf Charging Specs and Guide
Whether you are buying a new Nissan LEAF or recharging your current model, it’s important to know the exact charging specs and guide. This article will explain the driving range of the Nissan LEAF, how to charge it, and which charging stations offer the best prices. This article will also help you understand the costs of charging a Nissan Leaf and the various charging options. In addition, you’ll learn how much charging time the Nissan Leaf needs to reach its maximum charge.
There are a number of factors that determine how far a Nissan LEAF’s driving range and charging capacity will last. First of all, battery electric vehicles generally hold their range rather well. Used LEAFs can get between 100 and 270 miles between charges. This is quite reasonable, considering that there is no need to recharge your vehicle frequently. If you want to buy a used Nissan LEAF, you can save money by getting one in a higher-grade trim.
The battery pack is placed beneath the vehicle, under the driver’s and passenger seats. This design allows the car to have a low center of gravity. To prevent it from leaking, the battery pack must be sealed to IP69 criteria. Fuel costs in 2021 will be approximately 600 for a full tank and 450.02 per mile for a fully charged LEAF. The LEAF’s range and energy consumption are comparable to other electric cars, and the car is expected to deliver 99 miles per gallon of gasoline.
Charge, Range Battery
As battery technology advances, range increases, and charging becomes more convenient, more drivers than ever are going EV. As the manufacturer of the world’s first mass-market electric vehicle, Nissan is at the forefront of the electric-driving revolution. As your local Nissan dealer, Premier Nissan of Metairie is your partner on your EV journey – from sales and service to the many benefits and perks that come with making the switch to 100% electric driving. 1
Range options for your Nissan EV 1,2 Travel further on a single charge
Nissan‘s EVs offer a variety of battery sizes which power different ranges. The 2023 ARIYA is available with two battery options – one 87 kWh and one 63 kWh. The ARIYA VENTURE 87 kWh battery version has an EPA estimated range of up to 304 miles. 3 The 2023 Nissan LEAF also offers two battery options with the larger 60 kWh battery offering an estimated EPA range of up to 212 miles on a single charge in the LEAF SV PLUS version. The LEAF’s range is up to 149 miles with the standard 40 kWh battery in the LEAF S. 4

How long does it take to charge an EV?
Charging your EV has never been faster or easier
For many electric vehicles, including select models of the Nissan ARIYA and LEAF, using a quick charge station can provide up to an 80% charge in under an hour. 2 However, several factors impact how fast an EV charges, including the type of charging station you’re using, the vehicle’s battery capacity and maximum charge rate, and even environmental factors like temperature.
While there’s no one specific answer, there are key factors that will help you determine the best EV and charging options for you. At [DEALER] we’re happy to discuss EV solutions that suit you best.
Level 1-3 charging 1 Three levels of charging
Utilize a Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 charger depending on where you are and what you need. Learn the difference between the three levels and how your ARIYA or LEAF can charge conveniently at home or on the go. 2
Level 1 charging
In a pinch? Plug in to any 110-120-V 15-amp dedicated outlet for charging. Level 1 charging is exclusively for at home use. Most electric vehicles, including the ARIYA and LEAF, include a Level 1 charging cable. These cables draw power from a common 120-V outlet, adding 2-5 miles of range per hour of charging. 1
Level 2 charging
Level 2 chargers are utilized both in-home and at public charging stations. Professional installation is required for Level 2 home charging. These units draw power from a dedicated 240-V, 50 amp outlet, adding 10-25 miles of range per hour of charging. As a result, Level 2 charging requires much less time than Level 1 charging to charge an electric vehicle from empty to full. 1
With Level 2 charging, the standard range 2023 ARIYA ENGAGE FWD can fully charge in 10.5 hours (up to 216-mile range); the extended range 2023 ARIYA VENTURE can fully charge in 14 hours (up to 304-milerange). 1,3
With Level 2 charging, the standard range 2023 Nissan LEAF S can fully charge in 7.5 hours at (up to a 149-mile range); the extended range 2023 Nissan LEAF SV PLUS can fully charge in 11 hours (up to a 212-milerange). 1,4,6,7
Level 3 charging or fast charging 1,2
Level 3 charging, also known as fast charging or quick charging, is the quickest way to charge your EV. 3 Level 3 chargers use direct current (DC) power for expedited charging of the 2023 Nissan ARIYA and 2023 LEAF.
There are thousands of 480-V public DC fast charging stations across the country. With Level 3 fast charging, the ARIYA can charge from 20-80% at the following rates: 1
-35 min 63 kWh battery; 130 kW fast charge 1.65 min 63 kWh battery; 50 kW fast charge 1.40 min 87 kWh battery; 130 kW fast charge 1.90 min 87 kWh battery; 50 kW fast charge 1
The Nissan LEAF can charge at the following rates at a Level 3 480-V public DC fast charging station: 2
-40 minutes, 40 kWh battery 80%; 50 kW fast charge 1.45 minutes, 60 kWh battery 80%; 100 kW fast charge 1.60 minutes, 60 kWh battery 80%; 50 kW fast charge 1
Other factors that impact EV charging time
Battery capacity, charge rates and environmental factors can impact charging time. See customer disclosure form for details. 1
An electric vehicle’s battery capacity is typically determined by its size. In general, batteries with smaller capacities will take less time to charge, while batteries with larger capacities will take longer. However, increased capacity batteries provide more range and require fewer charges.
In the same way that there are limitations based on the specific charge point’s rate, each vehicle’s maximum accepted charge rate impacts the speed at which it can receive power. This means that an electric vehicle will only charge at speeds up to its maximum charge rate, regardless of the charger used.
Certain environmental factors, such as outside temperatures, can impact how quickly an electric vehicle will take to charge, as batteries are sensitive to severe heat and cold. To avoid damaging the battery, an electric vehicle’s battery management system will automatically slow down charging when extreme high or low temperatures are detected.

Level 2 Charge
A popular at-home option for those who prefer to charge their electric cars overnight is a level two charge. For most electric car brands, a level two charge is a great option for charging your vehicle to a full charge in around 8 hours. Level two charging is a great option for people who need a consistent full charge quickly.
This option requires an electrician to install the 240 wattage plug in your home or garage. The wattage for a level 2 charge is too large for a standard plug when charging a Nissan Leaf. Installation by a professional will cost around 5000,000.
Trickle Charging Nissan Leaf
Every electric car has the trickle charge charging option. Charging a Nissan Leaf via trickle charge does take a few days from 0% to 100%. As a result, I get an average of 20% per 24 hours on a trickle charge. The 20% charge includes me taking the Nissan Leaf off the charger for a few hours a day to run my typical daily errands like grocery store runs and drop-offs to dance class.
It’s worth noting, that the trickle charge charging option for the Nissan leaf does not pull a lot from your home’s electricity and shouldn’t change your overall electric bill much at all.
So for I love my Nissan Leaf and charging it has been a fun adventure. It feels like a toy that I get to charge and recharge each day, and best of all! I don’t miss the gas station line even a little bit.

How to Charge Nissan Leaf Leaf e | Charging port location Connector type
Nissan Leaf /Leaf e provides two charging ports in the front middle of the car – one for DC fast charging and one for AC charging at home, work and at AC public charging stations.
Both the North America (US) and European versions feature CHAdeMO connector for DC fast charging. For AC charging : the US version uses SAE J1772 socket and European ones use Type-2 (Mennekes) connectors.
How long does it take to charge a Nissan Leaf. at home, work, and at a public charging stations
Approx. 60 hours This is the slowest charging option. Charging at 120V wall outlet could add a few kilometres at an emergency. But don’t keep it as your regular charging option.
Note: Charging at 120V wall outlet could add a few miles at an emergency. But don’t keep it as your regular charging option. This is the slowest option.
Standard On-board charger of Nissan Leaf supports only a max of 16A. single phase (which is 3.7KW). So, connecting to a higher capacity (7.4KW / 11KW/ 22KW) charger will not make the charging faster ; 11 hours 30 minutes is the quickest charging you can achieve with the standard 3.6KW on-board charger.
If you get an upgraded 6.6KW on-board charger: theoretically, below are the charging speeds you can achieve in 230V systems in Europe. As mentioned above, due to the on-board charger limitation, 6 hours 30 minutes is the quickest AC charging you can achieve. Having a higher charger 7.4W will not make the charging faster.
Charging at DC Fast and Rapid chargers
Unlike AC charging, DC charging speed is not constant through-out the charging cycle. There are many factors. such as battery’s State-of-Charge (SOC), temperature, battery age…etc can decrease the DC charging speed during a charging cycle.
So far, there is no official release from Nissan about Leaf Plus’s fast charging characteristics. Below is the test performed by Fastned on Nissan Leaf at their 50KW charger.
Nissan Leaf charges at a max speed of ~ 46 kW at DC fast chargers upto 60% of the battery’s State-of-Charge (SOC) and then the speed gradually decreases as low as 20KW at around 90% of SoC. Averaging the variance in charge speeds, below is the estimate for time to charge a Nissan Leaf.
