if not all, CHAdeMo (Japanese industry standard) connectors on the charging stations. Charging stations using this industry

standard connector will be UL certified and safe to use in the US. However, this standard has not been adopted in the US, and not

all charging stations may support this standard. If you attempt to charge from a non-compatible charging station, you may not

receive a complete charge or may not be able to charge at all due to hardware and software differences.

The Quick Charge port must be ordered initially and installed during manufacture. It cannot be added or retrofitted later.

Time to Charge varies, based on state of charge of the battery, condition and age of the battery, ambient temperature and

condition of the power source connected to the vehicle. The following are estimates only; your actual experience may vary.

Standard Charge.

Empty lamp ~ 100%: ~4-7 hours depending on Model Year and trim (longer than 8 hours below

14 °F). See website ( ) for additional information.

Trickle Charge.

Empty lamp ~ 100%: ~21 hours

Quick Charge.

Empty lamp ~ 80%: ~30 minutes with battery temperature at 77 °F. (Quick charging is possible if

the battery temperature 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

triggered.)

WARNING: If you use any medical electric devices, such as an implantable cardiac pacemaker or an implantable cardiovascular

defibrillator, check with the electric medical device manufacturer concerning the effects that charging may have on implanted

devices before starting the charge operation. Charging may affect the operation of electric medical devices and result in serious

personal injury or death.

B. Range. The distance you can drive (range) varies considerably depending on, for example: state of charge, weather,

temperature, usage, age, topography, and manner of driving.

Range Estimates: The range is dependent on a number of factors. Some of the factors affecting range are Model Year of your

vehicle and trim, ambient temperature, weight - number of passengers and payload, air conditioning/heater usage, high speed or

stop-and-go driving, topography, battery capacity, etc. When the battery is new, it is estimated that vehicle range with a fully charged

battery under normal operation and various driving conditions will vary between 138 and 62 miles for the majority of people. These

are estimates based on analysis and testing. Your individual style and location will dictate your individual range, which will vary

initially. Also as the battery ages, capacity and range decline. There are an infinite number of range scenarios*, based on many

variables. Examples of some scenarios (such as Ideal driving conditions, Suburban driving on a nice day, Highway driving in the

summer, Cross-town commute on a hot day, and Winter urban stop-and-go traffic jam) based on specific variables studied through

computer simulations can be found on the Nissan LEAF website ( ) and should be carefully reviewed by you

prior to purchase. These are estimates only and individual range outside of estimated range scenarios will occur.

Range estimates based on standardized EPA testing can be found on the new vehicle window sticker (Monroney label), EPA

website, and Nissan LEAF website. This information should be reviewed prior to your purchase decision. The driving range on the

Nissan LEAF, as with all vehicles, will vary with real-world driving conditions.

Gradual loss of battery capacity. Like all lithium ion batteries, the Nissan LEAF battery will experience a reduction in the

amount of electricity or charge it can hold over time, resulting in a reduction in the vehicle’s range. This is normal and expected.

Although Nissan expects the great majority of vehicles to retain 9 or more bars of capacity through 5 years of normal use and

mileage, the rate of reduction varies, and will depend upon your individual usage and operating environment. The rate of capacity

loss will tend to be greater in the early part of your battery's life, but the rate of loss should decrease over time. Factors that will

affect and may hasten the rate of capacity loss include, but are not limited to:

– Sustained high battery temperatures (caused, for example, by exposure to very high ambient temperatures or extending highway

driving with multiple quick charges)

– Sustained high battery state of charge (caused, for example, by frequently charging to 100% state of charge and/or leaving the

battery above 80% state of charge for long periods of time)

– Higher than estimated annual mileage accumulation (such as more than 12,500 miles per year)

More detailed information about battery capacity loss and factors that can affect the rate of capacity loss is available in your Owner's

Manual. For 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, Nissan provides Lithium-Ion Battery Capacity Coverage under its New

Electric Vehicle Limited Warranty for capacity loss below 9 bars of remaining capacity as shown by the vehicle’s Battery Capacity

Level Gauge. See your LEAF Warranty Information Booklet, and your authorized Nissan LEAF dealer, for details.

Driving/Operating. Driving the vehicle at constant speed and with smooth pedal modulation improves vehicle range. Nissan

also recommends heating or cooling the cabin while charging just prior to driving. Vehicle range will be reduced by: (1) high speed

driving (55+ mph), (2) aggressive driving (frequent or rapid acceleration) (3), severe conditions including heavy passenger/cargo

load, uphill driving at a steep incline for extended periods of time, and (4) electrical use, especially heater or air conditioner use.
