The EV that started it all is now on its third generation.
39–75 kWh
270–600 km WLTP
6.6–11 kW
up to 150 kW (2026 CCS2)
Overview
Charging the Leaf at home
The 2026 Leaf moves to CCS2 and up to 11 kW AC. Older CHAdeMO Leafs are a 7 kW-on-Type-2 story and pair perfectly with a single-phase Zappi.
Best for: Second-car buyers who want a proven, low-fuss EV under $50k.
What makes it different
Why the Leaf stands out
- 2026 model switches to CCS2 — no more CHAdeMO adapter
- Up to 11 kW AC on the new generation
- Bidirectional-ready hardware for future V2H in Australia
- Heat pump standard, real advantage in cool Perth winters
The Leaf's third generation finally solves the plug problem
Older Leafs used CHAdeMO for DC, which is disappearing from Australian chargers. The 2026 Leaf uses CCS2 and Type 2 like every other new EV.

Our pick for the Leaf
myenergi Zappi 7 kW
We match the charger to what your car can actually accept. Buying a 22 kW unit for a Leaf that only takes 6.6–11 kW AC is money spent on kilowatts you'll never use. This recommendation gets you charged overnight without overspending.
- Matches the Leaf's 6.6–11 kW onboard AC rate
- Type 2 / CCS2 socket, native to the Nissan
- Backed by our 10-year installation warranty
