The Nissan LEAF PLUS, a version of the next-generation Nissan LEAF with a 62 kWh battery pack rated for 226 miles of range, has DC fast charging capability. This EV's longer range may win over some who've hesitated to make the leap to electric thus far, but if you're looking to save some money and don't mind a little less range, a used Nissan LEAF is a great option too.

Charging the Nissan LEAF PLUS at Home
The Nissan LEAF PLUS is super easy to charge at home if you can install a charger, getting a full 240-mile charge in under 12 hours using a 240V Level 2 charger like ChargePoint Home. If you can only access a wall outlet, it's simple (though slower), to charge the LEAF PLUS using the Level 1 charger that comes with the car: that will take about two and a half days from empty.
Tip: If you don't live in a single-family home, we can help you get EV charging at your apartment or condo, as well as find places to charge around town with the ChargePoint app.
- Nissan's Leaf is the best-selling electric car in the world, having been on sale since 2011. The popular hatchback is available with two different battery sizes – 24 kWh and 30 kWh – and can be rapid charged on the CHAdeMO standard.
- In this article, we consider the first-generation Nissan Leaf (ZE0), produced from 2010 to 2017. Here you will find fuse box diagrams of Nissan Leaf 2010, 2011, 2012.
- The driver can set the Nissan LEAF to commence charging at any time the driver wants. In addition, the air conditioning can be turned on before the driver enters the Nissan LEAF so that the driver can start driving with the cabin set to a comfortable pre-determined temperature.

Charging the Nissan LEAF PLUS at Work and Around Town
2010 Nissan Leaf: The Leaf is a road car from Nissan, with front wheel drive, a front located engine and a 5 door hatchback body style. The Nissan Leaf belongs to the ZE0 range of cars from Nissan. Powering the Nissan Leaf is an engine that develops power and torque figures of 107.5 bhp (109 PS/80 kW) at 2730-9800 rpm and 280 Nm (207 lbft/28.6 kgm) at 0-2730 rpm respectively.
More and more workplaces are offering EV charging as an amenity for employees. If your company doesn't yet, ask about the option and you may soon enjoy the convenience of charging up while you work the day away. While you may not have noticed them if you don't already drive an EV, there are often charging spots at restaurants, stores and other places you spend time. Charging at work or around town is a great way to keep your EV near full range.
For Level 2 charging at work or around town, the LEAF PLUS uses the universal J1772 connector, which you'll find at every ChargePoint Level 2 charging station. Like charging at home, the best part about charging at work or around town is that you can go about your day while charging, instead of waiting around for your EV to refuel. You can discover places to charge near you in the ChargePoint app and just tap your phone on any station to start charging.
Fast Charging the Nissan LEAF PLUS
Fast charging is perfect for adding mileage quickly during long trips or when you really need a charge. The LEAF PLUS uses the popular CHAdeMO fast charging port and is said to be able to add about 80 percent of battery capacity (180 miles) in 45 minutes at a 100 kW fast charger.
It's simple to find fast charging spots and check the cost of fast charging in the ChargePoint app. If you select the Nissan LEAF PLUS as your vehicle when setting up your ChargePoint account, the app will only show you fast charging spots that work with your EV. Once you find a station, you can check the estimated cost to charge in the app, then start a fast charge just like any other charge: simply tap your phone on a ChargePoint Express station, then plug in.
How Much Will It Cost to Charge the Nissan LEAF PLUS?
It will cost** drivers about $4.93 to go 100 miles in the LEAF PLUS. Much better than paying for gas. Plus, keep in mind that most ChargePoint stations are free to use, so you won't always be paying to charge. Many businesses offer charging for free or at their cost because they want you to visit. The cost of charging can vary between different EV charging stations and networks. ChargePoint station owners set their own charging and parking fees depending on their needs, and you can always check station details in the app for the latest pricing information.
The cost to charge at home will vary depending on how much you drive and how much electricity costs in your area (and if you can get a special EV charging rate plan). Get a sense of how much you can save by driving the LEAF PLUS using our EV savings calculator.
In addition, you can save even more with the many incentives for buying an electric car or home charger. Getting money back for driving electric helps offset the slightly higher price point of some EVs (though the LEAF is super affordable).
Where Else Will We See the LEAF PLUS?
The longevity of the Nissan LEAF, first released in 2010, has made it a favorite of municipal and commercial fleets. Now that the PLUS adds range to the popular model, look for more fleets to embrace the update to this familiar brand alongside other 200+ mile BEVs. In addition to the other advantages of the PLUS, Clean Fleet Reports notes that it will 'be cheaper to operate with its exceptional reliability and quality, plus a great warranty that covers not only workmanship, but also battery degradation.'

Remote Climate Control¶
2011-2013 models (ZE0)¶
Gen1 Cars (ZE0, 2011-2013) require a hardware modification to enable OVMS to control remote climate. Wire RC3 to TCU pin 11, more info
2014-2016 models (AZE0)¶
To use OVMS to activate remote climate the Nissan TCU (Telematics Control Unit) module must be unplugged if fitted (only on Acenta and Tekna models). The TCU is located behind the glovebox on LHD cars or on the right hand side of the drivers foot well on RHD cars. The large white plug on the rear of the TCU should be unplugged, push down tab in the middle and pull to unplug, see video for RHD cars and this page for LHD cars.
Note: Unplugging the TCU will disable Nissan EV connect / CARWINGS features e.g Nissan mobile app. All other car functions will not be effected e.g GPS, maps, radio, Bluetooth, microphone all work just the same as before. OVMS can be used to more than substitute the loss of Nissan Connect features. The TCU can be plugged back in at any point in the future if required.
OVMS remote climate support will ‘just work' on LEAF Visia models and Visia/Acenta e-NV200 since these models do not have a TCU fitted.
Note: If you prefer not to unplug the Nissan TCU, all OVMS functions appart from remote climate will function just fine alongside the Nissan TCU.
2016-2017 models (AZE0)¶
Nissan Leaf Ze0 Aero Style
Remote climate control will only work when plugged in and actively charging on 2016-2017 models. This is because in 2016 Nissan moved the TCU from the EV CAN bus to the CAR CAN bus.
Set the model year as follows and if necessary configure 30 kWh model:
configsetxnlmodelyear2016
or
configsetxnlmodelyear2017
Note: in latest OVMS fimware version model year and battery size can be set via the web config interface.
2018+ models (ZE1)¶
2018+ 40/62kWh LEAF is not yet supported. Please get in touch if your interested in helping to add support. Relevant 2018 CANbus messages have already been decoded and documented, see MyNissanLEAF thread.

Specific battery configs¶
For models with a 30 kWhr battery pack, set the capacity manually with:
configsetxnlmaxGids356configsetxnlnewCarAh79
Capture one pro 9 1 2 download free. For models with a 40 kWhr battery pack, set the capacity manually with:
configsetxnlmaxGids502configsetxnlnewCarAh115
For models with a 62 kWhr battery pack, set the capacity manually with:
configsetxnlmaxGids775configsetxnlnewCarAh176
Note: In latest OVMS firmware version, model year and battery size can be set via the web config interface. This is easier and also the preferred method.
Note 2: OVMS fully supports battery upgraded LEAFs, just set the capacity according to what battery is currently installed.
Range Calculation¶
Nissan Leaf Secret Menu
The OVMS uses two configuration options to calculate remaining range, whPerGid (default 80Wh/gid) and kmPerKWh (default 7.1km/kWh). The range calculation is based on the remaining gids reported by the LBC and at the moment does not hold 5% in reserve like LeafSpy. Feedback on this calculation is welcomed.
Resources¶
- Nissan LEAF support added by Tom Parker, see his wiki for lots of documentation and resources. Some info is outdated e.g climate control now turns off automatically.
- Nissan LEAF features are being added by Jaunius Kapkan, see his github profile to track the progress.
- Database files (.DBC) for ZE0 and AZE0 Leaf can be found here: Github LEAF Canbus database files
Assistance is appreciated as I haven't had time to try to override the TCU using the OVMS or find an alternative solution to prevent the TCU overriding the messages while still allowing the hands free microphone to work.
