Question: how much electricity is needed to charge a nissan leaf?
Answer: Charging at home or work is possible via a standard electrical power point (240 volt AC / 15 amp electricity supply). The rate of charge will depend on the EV's on-board charger – 2.5 kilowatts (kW) to 7 kW is usual. So at 2.5 kW, a Nissan Leaf will be fully charged overnight1.
