tion, the display will turn off before the pre-
set time.
For models with Navigation System, the
day of the week is displayed with the time
(hour and minute) in each information
1–
3.
In addition to the above, note the following
conditions for the charging time
1infor-
mation: • The charging time is displayed by the
10 minutes. If the estimated charging time
is longer than 24 hours, “Over 24h” is
displayed.
• When the charging is set to start immedi- ately af ter connecting the charge con-
nector to the vehicle, the start time is dis-
played as “Charge Now”.
• While being charged, the time when the charging has actually started is displayed
as the start time. The end time is dis-
played according to the estimated charg-
ing time that was calculated based on the
electrical power being supplied.
•
For models with Li-ion battery warmer, the
charging system calculates the electrical
power used by the battery warmer when
the Li-ion battery temperature is low, and
longer charging time will be displayed.
• When “Chg. Timer Only at HOME” is set to ON (models with Navigation System) in
the EV Settings, the start time is displayed
only when the power switch is placed in
the OFF position at home. If the power
switch is placed in the OFF position other
than at home, the immediate charge mode is selected and “Charge Now” will
appear as the start time.
• When “Full charge has priority” is set to ON in the EV Settings and the Li-ion battery
cannot be charged to a full level within the
hours between the scheduled start time
and end time of the charging timer, the
charging time shows the time that ex-
ceeds the scheduled hours in the charg-
ing timer.
•
If you need to confirm the estimated charg-
ing time depending on the available electri-
cal power (supplied to the charger), see the
Estimated Charge Time display. Refer to
“Meters and gauges” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.
NOTE:
• The displayed end time of charging is
an estimation. The Li-ion battery may
not be charged to a full level by the es-
timated end time.
• If the charging timer and the Climate
Ctrl. timer are set to operate at the same
time, longer charging time will be dis-
played or the Li-ion battery may not be
charged to a full level at the scheduled
end time.

READY POWER or CHARGE: FAULT Status and action to be taken  All LED lamps will light for a 1/2 second check when EVSE is first connected to an outlet.
  Af ter initial processing is completed, when the EVSE is not connected to the vehicle, or the EVSE
is connected to the vehicle but charging is not being performed. For additional information, refer
to “Charging troubleshooting guide” in this section.
 While the Li-ion battery is being charged
  If the EVSE control box indicator light does not illuminate af ter connecting the plug to the outlet,
check the GFCI and circuit breaker for the outlet. If either the GFCI or breaker has tripped, the cir-
cuit may not be suitable for use with EVSE. You should have a qualified electrician inspect and
repair the electrical circuit. If the GFCI breaker is not tripped, stop using the EVSE. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer.

 The EVSE could not detect sufficient grounding at outlet for reliable EV charging. Consult a quali-
fied electrician to have the outlet checked.


When the temperature of the electrical plug is too hot or the EVSE is unable to detect the tem-
perature of the electrical plug.
The EVSE is restricting the charging current for safety according to the temperature of the elec-
trical plug.
