Best Home EV Charger for the Nissan Leaf (2025)
The Leaf’s 6.6 kW AC limit is the slowest of any EV listed here, which simplifies shopping: any 32 A charger exceeds what the car can accept. Its 60 kWh pack still fills overnight at that rate.
The Nissan Leaf charges at up to 6.6 kW on AC through its J1772 port, so the ideal home charger delivers at least 28 A. The ranking below combines charge rate, connector fit, and standby efficiency across the ENERGY STAR certified chargers in our database; charge times are for the Nissan Leaf's 60 kWh battery.

Frequently asked questions
What size home charger does the Nissan Leaf need?
The Nissan Leaf's onboard AC charger tops out at 6.6 kW (about 28 A at 240 V). A charger rated at 28 A or more fully saturates it — extra amps beyond that add no speed.
How long does the Nissan Leaf take to charge at home?
From empty to full at its maximum 6.6 kW AC rate, the Nissan Leaf's 60 kWh battery takes roughly 9.1 hours. Typical daily top-ups are much shorter.
Does the Nissan Leaf need an adapter for home charging?
The Nissan Leaf has a J1772 port, the standard for home AC chargers — most chargers plug in directly, while NACS chargers need an adapter.
