- The Nissan LEAF uses lithium-ion batteries, just like your laptop and your cell phone, but it uses a lot more of them. It can charge overnight (8 hours) at a 220/240-volt Nissan charging dock that's installed in your garage.
Scott Briasco, of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Powerâs EV program, said that more than half of the 20,000 plug-in EVs in the utilityâs service area are charging this way. It isnât fast. Most cars charge at the rate of about 4 to 5 miles of range per hour. So, a mid-range vehicle like the Chevy Volt, with an all-electric range of 50 miles or so, will take 10 hours to completely recharge its battery. This kind of charging is relatively inexpensive and requires no special equipment.
