How much electricity does a Nissan Leaf use?
Hi from Connecticut! After a TON of research, my husband and I just bought the 2022 Nissan Leaf! Since it’s such a popular car, I was hoping you could tell me how much electricity the Leaf uses?

Congrats on your exciting new purchase! You’re right, the Nissan Leaf is a best seller, and I’m sure you’ll soon see why! The energy an electric car consumes is measured by kWh, which is equal to running a 1,000-watt appliance for one hour.
- The electricity used by a Nissan Leaf can depend on a variety of factors that also include the speed at which you drive your car. On average, the typical driver needs at least 250 kWh a month, assuming they’re driving around 1,000 miles.
- The 2022 Nissan Leaf sports a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery, with a 149-mile range. The Nissan leaf PLUS is equipped with a 62 kWh lithium-ion battery and has an EPA range of 226 miles.
- Electricity, on average, costs less than 13 kWh. So it would take about $5.14 on average to fully recharge the Nissan Leaf’s 40 kWh battery. That’s cheaper than a gallon of gas!
- When charging your Nissan Leaf, you’ll use one of the following outlets: 120-V **standard outlet, **240-V home/public charging outlet, or a 480-V direct current quick charging outlet.
Now that you know more about the energy your electric vehicle consumes, you can feel good about driving around your new
eco-friendly car
. Heck, you can also feel good about taking the Leaf on long-distance road trips in Connecticut
! It’s also great to know that you’re not overpaying for your car insurance each month with the extra money you’ll be saving by owning an EV. If you’d rather leave the hard work of gathering quotes to someone else, use the
