Buying a new electric car can raise all sorts of questions, but don’t worry—the
Nissan Leaf
charges pretty quickly! However, the time it takes depends on the voltage of the charger you’re using.
You can charge a Nissan Leaf in the following time periods with the following voltages:
  • 110V: 35 hours
  • 220V: 8 to 11 hours
  • 440V: 45 minutes
Just for a frame of reference, 110 volts is the standard American household outlet voltage. High-powered appliances like ovens and dryers sometimes use 220V outlets. And the 440V outlets are used at many public level-three charging stations for electric cars.
Once you get your new Nissan Leaf, you’ll want to insure it before you start running down the battery. The best way to find
