How do I charge a Nissan Leaf?

Check power socket is rated a minimum of 10 Amps (or 16 A if using higher Nissan charger)
Turn off the car
Open the charging port on the car – there is a small lever to the right and below the steering wheel (it is at aproximately mid shin height)
Under the car’s charging trap door there are two plugs:
- Small plug on right is “Type 1” AC charging (typically your mobile charger). Use any of these chargers with this plug:
  1. JuicePoint charger (8 A)
  2. Nissan charger (12-15 A)
  3. Public charging stations (see PlugShare)
- Larger plug on left is for DC charging (External CHAdeMo charger – Whangarei only)
On the charging box press the silver button, so it is level.
On the top of the dashboard near the windscreen there are three Blue LED light
- One flashing = car is charging (0, 1 or 2 of the others may be ON)
- Blinking in cycle = timer is set, car will start charging at configured start time. To bypass the timer press the clock button which is found to the right of the steering wheel.
