CAUTION
Do not use any charging equipment
that is not compatible with the LEAF.
Doing so could prevent the Li-ion bat-
tery from charging properly or could
result in damage to the vehicle or Li-ion
battery.
• Normal charge uses the charging device (AC 220 - 240 volt, 16A or 32A) that can be
installed in your home to charge the Li-
ion battery.
• Immediate charge, charging timer and remote charge (models with Navigation
System) can be performed in the normal
charge mode. For additional information,
see “Charging methods” (P. CH-43).
• The charging equipment communicates with the vehicle before Li-ion battery
charging starts. If this communication
does not occur because other equip-
ment is used, the Li-ion battery will not
charge. • NISSAN recommends that you connect
the charging device when getting out of
the vehicle, even if it is not going to be
used. By doing this, you can get the most
out of the remote climate control (mod-
els with Navigation System) and Climate
Ctrl. Timer functions the next time you
use the vehicle.
To start normal charge:
1. Push the P (Park) position switch to place the vehicle in the P (Park) position and
apply the parking brake.
2. When charging the Li-ion battery, place the power switch in the OFF position.
When the power switch is in the ON po-
sition, the Li-ion battery will not start
charging.
3. Open the charge port lid and charge port cap. For additional information, see
“Charge port lid” (P. 3-20) and “Charge
port cap” (P. 3-22). 4. Connect the charge connector to the
charge port. If it is connected normally, a
beep will sound once.
5. If charging has started or if the battery is waiting for the charging timer, a beep
will sound twice and the charging status
indicator light display will change. For
additional information, see “Charging
status indicator lights” (P. CH-49).

7. Remove the safety cap from the chargeconnector.
8. Connect the charge connector to the charge port. If it is connected normally, a
beep will sound once.
9. If charging has started, or if the Li-ion battery is waiting for the charging timer,
a beep will sound twice and the charg-
ing status indicator light display will
change. For additional information, see
“Charging status indicator lights”
(P. CH-49). 10. When recharging outside, such as in
your driveway, use a commercially
available padlock attached in position

4. Hang the hookODfrom the case to the
ring from the trim.
5. Fix the belt
OEwith the hook-and-loop
fastener on the case, pulling the belt
from the case.
WARNING
Pass the lower side belt of the EVSE
case securely through the fastener on
the bottom of the luggage board. If the
case suddenly becomes loose, it may
cause serious injury or death.
6. Af ter closing the cap on the charge port, close the charge port lid.
NOTE:
To stop charging mid-charge, remove
the charge connector. Charging auto-
matically stops.
HOW TO QUICK CHARGE (if so
equipped)
Quick charge uses public charging stations
(up to 50 kW of power [for 40 kWh battery
models] / 100 kW of power [for 62 kWh bat-
tery models]) to charge the battery in a short
period of time.
WARNING
• Always use a quick charger that is
compatible with the LEAF. Using an
incompatible quick charger may
cause a fire or malfunction resulting
in serious personal injury or death.
• Before starting the quick charge,
carefully read the instructions pro-
vided on the quick charger and make
sure the quick charge connector is
properly connected and locked. Fail-
ure to connect or operate the quick
charger correctly could cause dam-
age to the vehicle or the charging
equipment.
NOTE:
• Quick charging is possible (even sev- eral times a day) if the battery tem-
perature is not near the red zone. If the
battery temperature reaches the red
zone, in order to protect the battery,
quick charging is not allowed and the
power limitation mode will be trig-
gered. For additional information, see
“Li-ion battery temperature gauge”
(P. 2-7).
• When the Li-ion battery available charge and the Li-ion battery capacity
are shown on the quick charger unit,
the readings may differ from the Li-ion
battery available charge/capacity
reading shown on the vehicle’s display.

CAUTION
As the quick charge connector is
heavier in comparison to the other
charge connectors, allowing it to drop
could cause damage to the vehicle or
charge connector or personal 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.
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 instruc-
tions provided on the quick charger/
V2X device and make sure the quick
charge connector is properly con-
nected and locked. Failure to connect
or operate the quick charger cor-
rectly could cause damage to the ve-
hicle or the charging equipment.
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 trig-
gered. For additional information, see
“Li-ion battery temperature gauge”
(P. 2-7). • 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 read-
ings may differ from the Li-ion battery
available charge/discharge/capacity
reading shown on the vehicle’s display.

then connect the charge connector to
the vehicle.
NOTE:
• Always place the power switch in theOFF position af ter setting the charging
timers. When the power switch in the
ON position, the Li-ion battery will not
start charging. • Charging stations that are used to per-
form normal charging may be
equipped with timer functions. If the
charging timer function and the ve-
hicle timer are both set, and the two
timers are not set to operate at the
same time, it is possible that the char-
ger will not start or the battery will not
be charged to the level expected.
• The Li-ion battery may not charge to the expected level using the charging
timer while the Li-ion battery warmer
(if so equipped) operates.
• Charging timer is performed according to the current time setting of the clock
on the vehicle information display.
When setting the charging timer func-
tion, be sure to check that the current
time displayed is correct.
• To turn off the charging timer function, select "Timer" on the charge timer dis-
play (vehicle information display) us-
ing the
button and press the
OK button to turn off the indicator
light. The start and end time settings
are not deleted, even if the charging
timer function is turned off.

NOTE:
If “Full charge has priority ” is turned on, it
is possible that the battery is not
charged fully by the charge end time due
to the operating condition of Climate
Ctrl. Timer and the tolerance of charging
time, etc. In that case, the charging con-
tinues until the Li-ion battery is fully
charged.
TIMER DISPLAY
The timer display appears for approxi-
mately 30 seconds when the power switch
is placed in the OFF position.
O1Charging time
The estimated time of charging the Li-ion
battery (start time and end time) is dis-
played.
• When the charging timer is set, the charg- ing system calculates the estimated time
to charge the Li-ion battery based on the
electrical power supplied in the last
charging using the timer, and the start
time and end time are displayed. • The estimated time may be recalculated
depending on the actual electrical power
af ter the charge cable is connected. Al-
though the estimated time may be differ-
ent from the time that was displayed
when the power switch was placed in the
OFF position, this is not a malfunction.
• When the charging timer is set to OFF, the estimated end time to charge the Li-ion
battery to a full level in the case of per-
forming the immediate charge. The end
time is calculated based on the electrical
power selected in the “Charge Time
Screen”.
• When the Li-ion battery was fully charged, the charging time will be displayed as
“--:--”.
