Frequently Asked Questions for Nissan Leaf Plus
How much does it cost to charge a Nissan Leaf Plus at home?
At the US national average residential electricity rate of $0.16 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), charging a Nissan Leaf Plus from 0% to 100% with its 62 kWh battery costs approximately $9.92. For an average 35-mile daily commute, your daily charging cost will be roughly $1.64.
