From a depleted battery, it takes about 7 hours to fully charge a Nissan Leaf using the standard 240v home charging station. If using a 110v electric outlet, this would take approximately 20 hours. Quick-charging stations, which are currently more common in Europe, are starting to pop up in the US. Using a 480v line, it is able to give a full charge in just 30 minutes. Nissan began accepting orders for the 2012 Leaf in December.
Time to charge an electric car can take as little as 30 minutes or up to 12 hours. The time it takes to charge depends on the size of the battery and the speed of the charging point. A typical electric car (Nissan LEAF 30kWh) takes 4 hours to charge from empty with a 7kW home charging point. 3.7kW home charger provides about 15 miles per hour of charge. 7kW home charger provides about 30 miles per hour of charge.
