HOW DOES THE NISSAN LEAF WORK?

The Nissan LEAF is an all-electric vehicle and gets the energy it needs to drive the electric motor mounted between its front wheels from the large lithium-ion battery mounted along the floor of the car. Charging is a simple as charging your cell phone: plug it in, and let it go.

HOW DO YOU CHARGE YOUR NISSAN LEAF?

Charging the 2022 Nissan LEAF is easy whether you’re at home or on the go. You can connect and charge your Nissan LEAF in four quick and easy steps.

1. Park and make sure the car is turned off.


2. Open the charge port lid and cap.


3. Plug the charge connector into the charge port. When done correctly, the Nissan LEAF lets you know with a quick beep.


4. When the battery reaches full, the Nissan LEAF stops charging on its own. To end charging at any point, just unplug the charge connector.

240V - Home and public charging

CHARGE, ALMOST ANYWHERE

With 30,000 Level 2 public chargers in the U.S. and at home charging using a 240V outlet and the available Portable Charging Cable finding the where to charge is as easy as the how to charge. And with Nissan's partnership with Amazon a home charger and installation assistance is just clicks away.

480V – Public DC Quick Charging

CHARGE - IN A FLASH

The fastest way to charge. With tens of thousands of public DC Quick Charging stations across the country, you have an impressive number of locations to top off at while on longer drives.

120V - Standard outlet

PLUG IT

Need a charge while in a pinch? The Nissan LEAF features a standard 120V charging cable, which allows you to temporarily plug into a standard 120V outlet for a Level 1 charge. It's the slowest option, but it lets you add some range almost anywhere you have access to electricity.

NISSAN LEAF DRIVER ASSITANCE TECHNOLOGY

NISSAN LEAF ProPILOT ASSIST

IT CAN STOP AND GO FOR YOU

Available ProPILOT Assist can help your Nissan LEAF keep a set distance from the car ahead of you based on the traffic flow. It can even come to a full stop, and can bring you back up to speed when traffic starts moving again.

HOLD THE LINE AND STAY IN YOUR LANE

ProPILOT Assist helps keep you centered in your lane through the straightaways, and even through gentle curves.

e-PEDAL: INTELLIGENT DRIVING

Imagine being able to drive your Nissan LEAF with only one pedal. Just press down to accelerate and ease off to slow down. It’s one smooth motion, and a whole lot of fun. You can even hold the vehicle on a hill without ever touching the brake. And, of course, your brake pedal is still there so you can brake on demand.

INTELLIGENT AROUND VIEW MONITOR

Available Intelligent Around View Monitor gives you a virtual composite 360° bird’s-eye view of your Nissan LEAF. The display also gives you an on-screen heads-up when the system detects moving objects near your vehicle.

ASSISTANCE EVERY DRIVER CAN USE ON EVERY DRIVE

It’s nice to have a little backup when something unexpected happens. The Nissan LEAF offers a suite of available Nissan Intelligent Mobility features that can step in and take action to help keep you out of trouble.

HIGH BEAM ASSIST

Standard High Beam Assist helps out at night, while being considerate of your fellow drivers. It automatically switches to low beam headlights when it detects a vehicle ahead, and turns the high beams back on when you need them

INTELLIGENT DRIVER ALERTNESS

Available Intelligent Driver Alertness monitors your steering patterns and if the system detects you might be getting drowsy and need a break, it alerts you with a chime and a coffee cup icon on your display.

INTELLIGENT TRACE CONTROL

Intelligent Trace Control reads the situation and, if needed, can brake each wheel individually to help you steer smoothly through the corners.

ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL

Active Ride Control can automatically apply the brakes and adjust engine torque to smooth out your ride, turning those mountains into molehills.

HILL START ASSIST

Hill start assist helps stop you from rolling backwards. It holds brake pressure for a few seconds, giving you enough time to switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

SAFETY DRIVER AND AWARENESS TECH

Nissan LEAF can help out with a range of available Nissan Intelligent Mobility features that can detect movement around your vehicle, whether you’re parked or out on the road.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION

LEAF’s standard Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection can provide audio and visual alerts and even apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collisions.

BLIND SPOT WARNING

LEAF’s standard Blind Spot Warning system can help to see what you can't. Should it detect a car in your blindspot area, it’ll let you know with a chime so you can change lanes more safely.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING

Lane Departure Warning helps make sure you change lanes only when you mean to. If the system detects that you're drifting over, it'll warn you.

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT

When backing out of a parking spot, LEAF’s standard Rear Cross Traffic Alert system can alert you to approaching cars that might be out of sight.

REAR AUTOMATIC BRAKING

Rear Automatic Braking watches out directly behind you for stationary items you might not see. If it detects something and you fail to stop, it can automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a rear collision or lessen the severity of an impact.d

SAFETY: STANDARD ON EVERY LEAF

Every LEAF is built with certain advanced safety technologies that are looking out for you and yours by monitoring, responding and protecting to help keep you and your passengers safe. So, every time you drive your LEAF, safety and confidence are come along for the ride too.

10 STANDARD AIR BAGS

The Nissan Advanced Air Bag System includes dual-stage supplemental front air bags with seat belt and occupant-classification sensors. In addition, Nissan LEAF is equipped with front and back seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags, front seat knee air bags, and roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags with rollover sensor.

BRAKE SMARTER

Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) can detect extra weight in the back and adjusts the rear brakes accordingly. And if Brake Assist senses an emergency, it provides extra pedal pressure and quicker ABS/EBD response.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

When you have to brake suddenly, the Nissan LEAF’s ABS can pump the brakes faster than you ever could. This helps you maintain control by preventing wheel lockup, which in turn allows you to steer around obstacles in your path.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WITH EASY-FILL TIRE ALERT

The Nissan LEAF’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System can let you know whenever a tire is low. And the Easy-Fill Tire Alert takes the guesswork out of filling your tires. A beep of the horn will let you know when you’ve reached the correct pressure.
