Charging port and connector
The Leaf uses J1772 for Level 2 (and the older CHAdeMO plug for DC fast charging); the Ariya and newer Nissans use J1772 or NACS depending on model year, with adapters available.
How fast it charges at home
The Leaf charges at up to about 6.6 kW (roughly 27 amps) and the Ariya at about 7.2 kW on Level 2, so a 40-amp circuit and a 32-amp charger deliver the full rate.
Manufacturer and universal chargers
Any Level 2 charger works; Nissan does not require a branded unit.
Installation notes
Leaf owners rarely need a panel upgrade, since the car cannot use more than a modest circuit. That makes it one of the least expensive EV installations we do.
What Progressive does
- Load calculation, permit and county inspection.
- Dedicated 240 V circuit sized for your Nissan, hardwired or NEMA 14-50, indoor or outdoor.
- Panel replacement or load management when the panel is full.
- Repair and maintenance of the charger, cable and connector.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need the Nissan-branded charger?
No. The manufacturer unit works well and is a good choice if you already have it; a universal hardwired charger performs the same and often costs less.
Will my panel handle it?
Usually a 200-amp panel will; many 100-amp panels will not without load management or an upgrade. The load calculation in our assessment answers it, and we quote both options.

Joe Oliveira stopped by my home, took time to understand the problem that I was having with the unit, went back and discussed the issue with his team of experts and had a detailed work order sent to me with in a day. … Based on the experience that I have had with Progressive Plumbing, Heating & Air, Electrical, I will HIGHLY recommend them for HVAC install and maintenance.
