• Never use plug adapters other thanthe Genuine NISSAN Adapter for
EVSE.
• Always unplug the EVSE when not in use.
• The NISSAN Genuine L1 & L2 EVSE draws 12 amps continuously while
charging the Li-ion battery with AC
110–120 volt outlet. Do not plug in to
any electrical circuit unless it is in-
spected by a qualified electrician to
confirm that the electrical circuit can
accept a 12 amp draw. Any electrical
circuit has a much higher likelihood
of being compromised in the follow-
ing conditions listed below.
– Improper use of the EVSE may re-sult in a fire and serious injury or
death.
– Do not use the EVSE in structures more than 40 years old.
– Do not use the EVSE in structures using fuse-based circuit protec-
tion. Use only with electrical cir-
cuits protected by circuit break-
ers.
– Do not use the EVSE on electrical circuits with two-prong outlets. – Do not use the EVSE if other de-
vices are plugged into the same
circuit.
– When unplugging, be sure to pull by the plug or the Genuine NISSAN
Adapter, not the cord.
– Do not pull, twist, bend, step on or drag the cable.
– Do not attach or detach the Genu- ine NISSAN Adapter while the
Genuine NISSAN Adapter is in-
serted into an outlet.
– Do not use the Genuine NISSAN Adapter if the plug is not fully in-
serted and not locked.
– If you use the EVSE holder, handle it with care to avoid injuries due to
contact with its edges or other
parts.
– Do not use the EVSE or Genuine NISSAN Adapter if the cable or
cord is frayed, has broken insula-
tion, or shows any other indica-
tions of damage.
– Stop using the EVSE or Genuine NISSAN Adapter immediately if
charging stops before completion
when you move the Genuine
NISSAN Adapter, the plug or the
cord. – Do not use the EVSE or Genuine
NISSAN Adapter if the control box,
plug, Genuine NISSAN Adapter or
charge connector is broken,
cracked, open, corroded or shows
any other indications of damage.
– Do not use the EVSE or Genuine NISSAN Adapter if the plug or
Genuine NISSAN Adapter has a
loose connection with the outlet
or if the outlet is damaged or
rusted.
– Before connecting the EVSE, be sure to check the rated current
shown on the EVSE to ensure that
the outlet and circuit have enough
current capacity to charge your
vehicle safely. If the capacity of
the outlet and circuit is not
enough, wiring may cause over-
heating or a fire.
– If in any doubt about the outlet and circuit, consult a qualified
electrician.
– The device has parts that may spark inside. Do not use it where
gasoline, paint, or flammable liq-
uids are used or stored.

WARNING
• Always use a quick charger that is compatible with the LEAF. Using an
incompatible quick charger may
cause a fire or malfunction resulting
in serious personal injury or death.
• Before starting the quick charge, carefully read the instructions pro-
vided on the quick charger and
make sure the quick charge connec-
tor is properly connected and
locked. Failure to connect or operate
the quick charger correctly could
cause damage to the vehicle or the
charging equipment.
NOTE:
•Quick charging is possible (even several
times a day) if the battery temperature
is not near the red zone. If the battery
temperature reaches the red zone, in
order to protect the battery, quick
charging is not allowed and the power
limitation mode will be triggered. For
additional information, refer to “Li-ion
battery temperature gauge” in the “EV
Overview” and “Instruments and con-
trols” section of this manual. •
When the Li-ion battery available
charge and the Li-ion battery capacity
are shown on the quick charger unit, the
readings may differ from the Li-ion bat-
tery available charge/capacity reading
shown on the vehicle’s display.
To start charging:
1. Push the P (Park) position switch to placethe vehicle in the P (Park) position and
apply the parking brake.
2. When charging the Li-ion battery, place the power switch in the OFF position.

indicators on the instrument panel. The
charge connector can be disconnected
from the vehicle when charging is
stopped.
• When quick charging, the Li-ion battery
charging rate is slower as the percent-
age of available battery charge in-
creases. To finish charging:
1. Confirm charging is stopped by looking
at the indicators on the instrument
panel. The charge connector can be dis-
connected from the vehicle when charg-
ing is stopped.
2. Unlock the charge connector, remove from the vehicle and properly store it.
