How Long to Charge a LEAF with Level 2 Charging?
When you have an EV charger installed in your Sumter home, you’ll soon be reaping the benefits of Level 2 charging. One of the many benefits of an EV is the ability to plug in your car before you go to sleep, and then wake up with a full battery charge. You can also find Level 2 charging available at public charging stations for when you want to top off your battery. Here’s how long it takes to charge a Nissan LEAF with Level 2 charging:
- With a 40 kWh battery: Flat to fully charged in 7.5 hours
- With a 60 kWh battery: Flat to fully charged in 11 hours
How Long to Charge a LEAF with Level 3 DC Quick Charging?
More and more DC quick charging stations are appearing in the Florence area, and those numbers will continue to grow as drivers go electric. Level 3 charging is only available through public chargers, often located at stores and restaurants so you can charge while shopping or having lunch. Here are the Nissan LEAF Level 3 charging times:
- With a 40 kWh battery: 40 minutes
- With a 60 kWh battery: 40 minutes (100 kW Quick Charge); 60 minutes (50 kW Quick Charge)
How Long to Charge a LEAF with Level 1 120-Volt Standard Outlet?
In a pinch you can add a few miles to your battery via its cable and a 120-volt three-pronged home outlet. This is the slowest method and will take over a day for a full charge, but it can keep you on the road until you reach a Level 2 or 3 charging station.
What is the Nissan LEAF Range?
With two available battery options, you can choose the one with the range that best fits your driving style. Those battery ranges are:
- With a fully charged 40 kWh battery: Up to a 149-mile EPA range
- With a fully charged 60 kWh battery: Up to a 212-mile EPA range
And if you’re curious about power output, the standard 40 kWh battery offers around 147 hp and the upgraded 60 kWh battery generates 214 hp.
