Nissan Leaf Gen 1 Charger & Guide NZ
What sort of charger should I get for my Nissan Leaf Gen 1?
We have put together a quick Nissan Leaf Gen 1 Charging guide.
The majority of the imported Generation 1 Nissan leaf’s will use a Type 1 EV charger. There is the odd exception if your leaf has been imported from Europe then it could be a Type 2 connector. Have a quick look at our plug guide if you are not sure.
The original OEM Japanese chargers are not compatible with New Zealand’s voltage so these should be replaced.
We recommend using the 10A plugin Leaf charger as it will suit most users and allow a full charge overnight. The three pin plug in 8A charger will charge a Generation one leaf from 20% to 80% charge in around 8 hours. If you want faster charging then you might consider getting the 16A charger, this will require the install of a caravan plug.
