How Long Does It Take to Charge a Nissan Leaf SV Plus?

DC fast charging (up to 100 kW)manufacturer estimate; power tapers past 80%~45 minnot recommended–

AC times include charging losses (~10% on Level 2, ~20% on Level 1). Cold weather, preconditioning, and the battery's state can stretch these figures. Charging past 80% is slow on DC and gentler on the battery when done on AC at home.

Home chargers that fit the Nissan Leaf

Its 6.6 kW onboard charger takes at most about 28 A, so a 40 A charger on a 50 A circuit, plugged into a 14-50 or hardwired, already charges it at full speed. Most non-Tesla EVs built before 2025 have a J1772 port; if yours has a NACS port, pick the wall charger's NACS version. The portable unit plugs into an existing 14-50 outlet on a 50 A circuit with no install. It is J1772-only.
