Chargers for Nissan

It depends on the model year, because the LEAF has changed both its onboard power and its connector. The LEAF 24 and 30 kWh from 2011-2018 have a Type 1 socket and 3.3 kW, so they get the B35. The LEAF 40 kWh accepts 3.6 kW and a Q37 or P35 suits it, the LEAF e+ 62 kWh accepts 6.6 kW and gets a Q74 or P72, and the new LEAF from 2025 already takes 11 kW, meaning a Q11 or P11.

Three of the 16 Nissan versions in our database have a Type 1 socket. For those we match the B35, the only charger with a Type 1 plug, rated at 3.7 kW. A 22 kWh battery will charge from it from empty in around 6 hours. The other 13 versions have Type 2 and standard chargers.

Our database holds exactly one such version out of 16, and it is the only case in which we match a Q22 to a Nissan. The rest of the range sits between 3.3 and 11 kW, so before reaching for a 22 kW charger, check your car's technical data.

The largest battery in the Nissan range holds 87 kWh. At the onboard 11 kW a full charge from empty takes around 8 hours, so it fits into an overnight stop. At 7.4 kW the same cycle grows to around 12 hours, which is why with a large battery a three-phase installation is worth having.

In our database of 16 Nissan versions the most frequent match is the Q11 - 6 versions, including the newest LEAF, the Micra and the Townstar. Right behind it is the Q74 with 5 versions: the Ariya models with 7.4 kW and the LEAF e+ with 6.6 kW. The oldest LEAFs and the e-NV200 have a Type 1 socket and get the B35, which is why with Nissan we always start from the AC power and the socket of the specific version.

With two things: check the connector and the onboard power. In the 2011-2026 range we meet both Type 1 and Type 2, and powers from 3.3 through 6.6 and 7.4 up to 22 kW. Only those two figures settle whether you need a B35, Q37, Q74, Q11 or Q22.
