Hi Folks, I did not know where to put this, but here it is. I am doing research on the new Nissan Leaf, the all electric car. What I am wondering is many KW/h will be required to charge the battery. I looked threw their site and called their customer service but I can not get an answer. The reason I would like to know is that I am planning on installing a solar panel system to my home and I would like it to cover all of my home usage. How cool would it be if I could also factor in charging an electric car?
So this is what I know (have taken it from their website). If anyone can help me figure out the calculation that would be great, because I am clueless.
-Q:What is the estimated time for full charging with 110v, 220v and fast charge stations?
A:16-18 hours at 110V, 8 hours at 220V (depending on amperage), 26 minutes to 80% at a quick-charge station.
- Q:How long does it take to charge the battery? A:The battery will charge in 4-8 hours on a 220V home charging unit.
- They claim it will cost $3 a day to charge the battery
Thanks for reading!! Joel
