How is Nissan Leaf charged based on battery capacity?
Charging network operator Fastned compares the charging speed of different versions of the Nissan Leaf, depending on the battery charge level. We decided to modify this graph to show the charging power versus the amount of energy consumed.
The original diagram is shown below. The vertical axis shows the charging power and the horizontal axis shows the battery percentage. So, for the Nissan Leaf 24 kWh, 100 percent is 24 kWh, and for the latest version it is 40 kWh. You can see that while the oldest 24 kWh version gradually reduces charging power over time, the 30 and 40 kWh options perform very similarly.
After taking into account the battery charge level in the number of consumed kilowatt-hours, the graph becomes very interesting for versions 30 and 40 kWh: it seems that the permissible power consumption of both models is approximately the same (30 kWh is slightly better) and that both options accelerate charging to 24-25 kWh , after which there is a sharp descent.

The 30kWh Leaf is almost the end, and the 40kWh model starts to slow down at some point:
All cars were connected via the Chademo connector to DC fast charging.
