There are three main ways to charge your EV.
If you are unable to access your charging point at home, you can also access public charging points, which can be found on ZapMap. Prices will obviously vary between suppliers, location and speed of charge. As an example, a 40kWh battery pack could cost between £9.36, which charges up to 80% on an Ecotricity 43kW AC charger at 30p-per-kWh, or even as low as £8.64 at a BP Pulse charger, where you will pay 27p-per-kWh. You willl find that the slower the charging rate it, the cheaper the charge will be.
Every Nissan EV has a Rapid Charging Port, which allows you to connect up to a rapid charger and reach up to 80% charge in 30 minutes. This is the fastest means of charging available and is ideal for when you need to top quickly or you are on a long journey. The Rapid Charge Port is located just left of the standard charging port and allows you to plug in at public rapid charger stations. If you are using public chargers this will cost you more to rapid charge.
You can optimise your home by having a charging point professionally installed into your home.
Using a 32A home charging unit means you can charge your LEAF up overnight to reach a full charge in approximately 7 hours (39kWh) or 11 hours (59kWh).
The most traditional way of charging it with an EVSE charging cable, which comes as an added option when buying the Nissan LEAF. This plugs directly into a regular domestic supply allowing you to charge from any standard wall socket.
