2019 NISSAN LEAF Owner´s Manual

NOTE:
•Charging may automatically stop even
if it is not completed.
• If charging stops mid-charge, you can
restart charging by pressing the start
button on the quick charger again.
• The charge connector is locked to the
charge port during charging and can-
not be disconnected. Follow the in-
structions on the quick charge equip-
ment to stop charging. Confirm
charging is stopped by looking at the
indicators on the instrument panel. The
charge connector can be disconnected
from the vehicle when charging is
stopped.
• When quick charging, the Li-ion battery
charging rate is slower as the percent-
age of available battery charge in-
creases. To finish charging:
1. Confirm charging is stopped by looking
at the indicators on the instrument
panel. The charge connector can be dis-
connected from the vehicle when charg-
ing is stopped.
2. Unlock the charge connector, remove from the vehicle and properly store it.
3. Close the quick charge port cap.
4. Shut the charge port lid.CAUTION
• As the quick charge connector is heavier in comparison to the other
charge connectors, allowing it to
drop could cause damage to the ve-
hicle or charge connector or per-
sonal injury. When removing the
connector, be sure to pull it out
straight and as carefully as possible.
HOW TO CHARGE/DISCHARGE
USING QUICK CHARGE PORT (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
V2X (vehicle to everything) enables the EV
to supply electric power to a home or a
building, etc.
“V2X ” includes all of the following:
• Vehicle to home (V2H)
• Vehicle to building (V2B)
• Vehicle to grid (V2G)
• Vehicle to load (V2L)
• Vehicle to vehicle (V2V)
V2X charge/discharge uses a V2X device.
CH-38Charging

WARNING
• Always use a quick charger/V2X de- vice that is compatible with the LEAF.
Using an incompatible quick
charger/V2X device may cause a fire
or malfunction resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
• Before starting the quick charge/ V2X charge, carefully read the in-
structions provided on the quick
charger/V2X device and make sure
the quick charge connector is prop-
erly connected and locked. Failure to
connect or operate the quick char-
ger correctly could cause damage to
the vehicle or the charging equip-
ment.
NOTE:
•Charging/discharging using quick
charge port is possible (even several
times a day) if the battery temperature
is not near the red zone. If the battery
temperature reaches the red zone, in
order to protect the battery, charging/
discharging is not allowed and the
power limitation mode will be triggered.
For additional information, refer to “Li-
ion battery temperature gauge” in the
“EV Overview” and “Instruments and
controls” section of this manual.
• When the Li-ion battery available
charge/discharge and the Li-ion bat-
tery capacity are shown on the quick
charger unit or V2X device, the readings
may differ from the Li-ion battery avail-
able charge/discharge/capacity read-
ing shown on the vehicle’s display. To start charging/discharging:
1. Push the P (Park) position switch to place
the vehicle in the P (Park) position and
apply the parking brake.
2. When charging/discharging the Li-ion battery, place the power switch in the
OFF position. When the power switch is
in the ON position, the Li-ion battery will
not start charging/discharging.
3. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, re-
fer to “Charge port lid” and “Charge port
cap” in the “Pre-driving checks and ad-
justments” section of this manual.

4. Align1with the groove of the charge
port and insert the charge connector.
CAUTION
• Be sure to insert the charge connec-
tor straight into the quick charge port
right up to the base. Failure to do so
may result in the Li-ion battery not
charging/discharging or could cause
damage to the charging equipment. 5. Grasp the lock lever and lock the charge
connector.
6. Follow the instructions on the quick charge equipment, or the V2X device, to
start charging. When the equipment or
V2X is properly installed and ready to
charge/discharge, a beep sounds twice
and the charging status indicator light
will change. For additional information,
refer to “Charge status indicator lights” in
this section.
