HOW TO QUICK CHARGE
Quick charge uses public charging sta-
tions (up to 50 kW of power [for 40 kWh
battery models] / 100 kW of power [for 60
kWh battery models]) to charge the battery
in a short period of time.
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 connector is
properly connected and locked. Fail-
ure to connect or operate the quick
charger correctly could cause dam-
age to the vehicle or the charging
equipment.
NOTE:
• Quick charging is possible (even sev- eral times a day) if the battery tem-
perature 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 trig-
gered. For additional information, see
“Li-ion battery temperature gauge”
(P. 2-7).
• 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
battery available charge/capacity
reading shown on the vehicle’s display.

nected from the vehicle when charging
is stopped.
• When quick charging, the Li-ion bat- tery charging rate is slower as the per-
centage of available battery charge
increases. 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.

possible.
HOW TO CHARGE/DISCHARGE
USING QUICK CHARGE PORT
V2X (vehicle to everything) enables the EV
to supply electric power to a home or a
building, etc.
“V2X ” includes all of the following:
• Vehicle to home (V2H)
• Vehicle to building (V2B)
• Vehicle to grid (V2G)
• Vehicle to load (V2L)
• Vehicle to vehicle (V2V)
V2X charge/discharge uses a V2X device.
WARNING
• Always use a quick charger/V2X de-
vice that is compatible with the LEAF.
Using an incompatible quick
charger/V2X device may cause a fire
or malfunction resulting in serious
personal injury or death.
• Before starting the quick charge/V2X
charge, carefully read the instruc-
tions provided on the quick charger/
V2X device and make sure the quick
charge connector is properly con-
nected and locked. Failure to connect
or operate the quick charger cor-
rectly could cause damage to the ve-
hicle or the charging equipment.
NOTE:
• Charging/discharging using quick charge port 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, charging/
discharging is not allowed and the
power limitation mode will be trig-
gered. For additional information, see
“Li-ion battery temperature gauge”
(P. 2-7). • When the Li-ion battery available
charge/discharge and the Li-ion bat-
tery capacity are shown on the quick
charger unit or V2X device, the read-
ings may differ from the Li-ion battery
available charge/discharge/capacity
reading shown on the vehicle’s display.
• The vehicle outputs 12-volt battery power to a V2X device upon its connec-
tion to the inlet. It can start to work
without further customer's operation,
if the device is capable to receive 12-
volt battery power from the vehicle.
The 12-volt battery power output stops
automatically af ter 5 minutes elapses.
Remove then insert the connector in
order to restart the power-delivery.
