Basic Information The Nissan Leaf is a pioneer in the world of electric vehicles – the first mass-produced EV that debuted in 2010. Two generations are currently available on the market: First generation (2010-2017) – used market Battery: 24 kWh or 30 kWh Range: 170-250 km WLTP Power: 80 kW (109 HP) Used prices (2025): €6,500 – €13,000 Second generation (2018-present) Battery: 40 kWh or 62 kWh (LEAF e+) Range: 270 km (40 kWh) or 385 km (62 kWh) WLTP Power: 110 kW (150 HP) or 160 kW (217 HP) Used prices (2025): €17,000 – €30,000 Connector: Type 2 (AC) + CHAdeMO (DC) Before You Buy a Charger - Check Your Socket! Before purchasing a charger, you need to decide which socket you'll use for charging. This is the most important decision, as it determines charging power and compatibility. Charging from a Standard Household Socket (230V) Power: 3.7 kW (16A, single-phase) Charging time: ~12-18 hours (40-62 kWh, 0-100%) For whom: Emergency charging, very low mileage (<30 km/day) Warning: 20% of household sockets have faulty installations (lack of grounding, reversed phases) - most reputable chargers won't work with such issues Charging from Industrial Socket (CEE) Power: 6.6-7.4 kW (32A, single-phase) – Leaf has a single-phase 6.6 kW charger Socket types: CEE 32A (high power), camping socket Charging time: ~6-9 hours (40-62 kWh at 6.6-7.4 kW) For whom: Regular home charging, full utilization of the car's capabilities Don't know what you have at home? Contact us or choose Q37 with Schuko adapter - you'll be able to charge from a 230V socket. Charging Specifications AC Charging (alternating current, at home) Power: 6.6 kW (single-phase, 32A) Time: ~6-9 hours (40-62 kWh, 0-100%) Socket: Type 2 DC Charging (direct current, fast charging stations) Power: 50 kW (40 kWh) or 100 kW (62 kWh) Time: ~40-45 minutes (20-80%) Connector: CHAdeMO (not CCS2!) Problem: CHAdeMO stations are disappearing from the European market Networks: Orlen Charge (selected stations), Greenway (rarely), Ionity (some) Warning: Leaf uses CHAdeMO, while Europe has transitioned to CCS2. This means DC station availability will become increasingly limited. Which Ampere Point Charger Should You Choose? The Nissan Leaf has a 6.6 kW AC charger (single-phase, 32A) - for full utilization you need a 7.4 kW single-phase charger or slower. Q74 (7.4 kW mobile charger) Features: Power: 7.4 kW (single-phase, 32A, CEE socket) Leaf will use 6.6 kW (the rest is wasted, but that's not a problem) Full charge: ~6-9 hours (40-62 kWh) Integrated cable Mobile app Price: Q74 – 7.4 kW mobile charger See Product P72 (7.4 kW mobile charger) Features: Power: 7.4 kW (single-phase, 32A, CEE socket) Full charge: ~6-9 hours Simpler operation, display, solid construction Price: P72 – 7.4 kW mobile charger Difference Q74 vs P72: Both are mobile and offer 7.4 kW. Main difference: Q74 has mobile app, P72 is cheaper and has display. Check product descriptions for details. See Product Q37 with Schuko adapter (3.7 kW) – BUDGET OPTION Features: Power: 3.7 kW (230V socket) Full charge: ~12-18 hours (40-62 kWh) For whom: Low mileage (<50 km daily), no CEE socket Price: Q37 with Schuko adapter – 3.7 kW ❌ Q11, P11, Q22 – NOT for Leaf These chargers are three-phase (11 kW, 22 kW). Nissan Leaf has a single-phase 6.6 kW charger, so you won't utilize the extra power. You'll overpay for something you won't use. FAQ Can I charge the Leaf from a 230V socket?Yes, but it's very slow (~12-18 hours for full charge). Better to install a CEE 32A socket and charge at 6.6 kW in ~6-9 hours. Can the Leaf be charged at Tesla Supercharger stations?No. Leaf has CHAdeMO connector, and Superchargers only support CCS2. You must look for stations with CHAdeMO (Orlen Charge, Greenway). Does the Leaf's battery degrade quickly?First generation (2010-2017) had degradation issues (25-30% after 10 years). Second generation (2018+) is much better (10-15% after 5 years). Nissan provides 8 years / 160,000 km battery warranty. Can I charge the Leaf at other DC stations?Yes, but only at stations with CHAdeMO. Most new stations in Europe only have CCS2, so availability will decrease. Plan your route in advance. Summary The Nissan Leaf is a proven, reliable EV with 13 years of market experience. The 270-385 km WLTP range is sufficient for daily commutes and weekend trips, and low operating costs (no oil changes, filters, brake pad replacements) compensate for the somewhat slower DC charging. Charger recommendation: Q74 or P72 (7.4 kW) – full utilization of Leaf's capabilities, overnight charging Q37 with adapter (3.7 kW) – budget option for low mileage Key to success: Installing a CEE 32A industrial socket (single-phase) at home or in your garage allows you to charge the Leaf in ~6-9 hours, which is perfect for overnight charging.
