I love the charging times chart in this thread. Can anyone tell me if that chart is for the 2013 Leaf, previous model years, or both (because it doesn't matter what year you have with regard to charging times.) Also, is there an online source for the data in that chart. Thanks. - Rick
No, it all came out of my brain. Just cut and paste this into a Word document and make a chart!!
LEAF Charge-Rate Chart
Assumes 30 amp pilot signal from EVSE
----------- Japan --- USA/Canada - The World --- USA/Canada
Amps --- 200 volts --- 208 volts --- 230 volts ------- 240volts
16 -------- 3.2kW -------- 3.3kW ---- 3.7kW ------ 3.8kW
27.5 ------ 5.5kW** ------ 5.7kW** --- 6.3kW ------ 6.6kW
Obviously, the charger will output some value below those stated above, at about 85-90%. So, a typical LEAF drawing 16 amps at your North American house's 240 volts will put 3.3kW into the battery, and draw 3.8kW from the wall.
The new 2013 LEAF with optional 27.5 amp charger will be about 6.6kW at 240 volts. The 2013 LEAF-S retains the 16 amp charger of all previous LEAFs.
**I don't know if its been measured at 200 or 208 volts yet to see if it increases to 30 amps.**
