    1. House Charge 12 Amp (Like a notebook Charge) - 12-13 Units to charge up to 80%
    Nissan says charging up to 80% is good for battery.
    If 100% charge it can take another 4 units.
    2. Time Taken - 6 Hrs 30min on a home charge from 18% - 80%
    3. 1% = 1 mile
    4. Millage - Can do during office hours Working days (7.30am- 7pm)
    around 40-45miles for 60% Charge. This is during traffic. Non traffic 60 Miles min.
    5. 1 Mile = 1.6Km. 1% charge = 1 mile

    I am using a leaf brought from England, So its in English. If you buy from Japan its in Japanese reading is difficult. Car eka niyamai. Ida pasukam niyama, Seats hari hothai.

    England wala price = Pound 12500-13500. Year 2014.

    When you buy Leaf buy the latest don't go for older models it would have done higher millage. Adu millage eka wada honthai, eka nisa 2014 eka ganda. Adu milla ganang balandeppa.

    12-13 units yanne 80% ? 18%-->80% wenakan da?

    if so, 80-18 = 62%
    13 units for 62% of charge
    then 13/62 * 100 = 20.9 units for 0->100% charge.

    Recharging[edit]
    The Leaf, with the SL option, has two charging receptacles: a standard SAE J1772-2009 connector for level 1 and 2 charging (120/220 volts AC)[84] and a JARI high-voltage DC connector designed by TEPCO for DC fast charging (500 volts DC 125 amps)[85] using the CHAdeMO protocol.[86]



    The Leaf's charging port with two inlets is located at the front of the car.
    Models with an on-board 3.3 kW charger[87] can be fully recharged from empty in 8 hours from a 220/240-volt 30 amp supply (5.2 kW allowable draw[88]) that can provide the on-board charger its full 3.3 kW of usable power.[89][90] Models with an on-board 6.6 kW charger[29][91] can be fully recharged from empty in 4 hours from a 220/240-volt 40 amp supply (7.7 kW allowable draw[88]) that can provide the on-board charger its full 6.6 kW of usable power.[89][90]

    In North America and Japan using a standard household outlet (120-volt, 15 amp breaker, 12 amp maximum allowable draw,[88] 1.4 kW) and the 7.5-meter (25 ft)[92] cable included by Nissan, the Leaf will regain approximately 5 miles of range per hour. This type of charging is ideal for the commuter that can plug into standard outlets at home and at work during the typical 21 hours a day that the typical North American car is parked. It is also useful for emergency charging from any ubiquitous 120-volt outlet just about anywhere in North America.[89]

    United States electrical regulations require a 240-volt charging station :lol:to be permanently wired unless proper interlock mechanisms are available to ensure the charging current can be safely turned on and off.[88] Nissan selected AeroVironment to supply its charging dock and installation services in North America[93] (see the United States section below for more details).

    Using DC fast charging,:shocked: the battery pack can be charged from fully discharged to 80% capacity in about 30 minutes.[94] Nissan developed its own 500-volt DC fast charger that went on sale in Japan for ¥1,470,000 (around US$16,800) in May 2010 and plans to install 200 at dealers in Japan.[95][96] Nissan warns that if fast charging is the primary way of recharging, then the normal and gradual battery capacity loss is about 10% more than regular 220-volt charging over a 10-year period.[32] Other companies make compatible charging stations, and companies and local government have various initiatives to create networks of public charging stations[89][97] (see electric vehicle network). Technically inclined users have been known to modify the charging system and reduce recharging times by adding aftermarket charger(s). For example up to 10 kW of extra charging power has been accomplished, slashing bulk recharge time to about 90 minutes.[98]

    Yes your calculation is correct. But I hv not charged from 0 to 100% and therefore i dont know the number of units.

    Also when you charge 100% it takes a very long time to charge from 96%. - 100%.

    Now planning to buy a 6.6Kw charger which works on 240V / 25Amp and charge. They say it will take 3 Hrs.

    But when you buy the car make sure your car has 6.6KW facility.

    Also some Cars sales r not providing the Navigation SD Card. Without that your LCD panel will not work. So you cannot even tune your radio.

    this is miles, not kilometers right?
    so 1 mile = 1.6 km, hence for 60% charge around 64-72 km
    that's around 5-6 km for 1 electricity unit => LKR 20/= ?? (our electricity billing is crazy with sudden increases after 120 units etc.... i don't know this is a correct estimate)

    so its gonna be more than 35-40km for a price of 95-octane petrol litre...?? or is it more?

    also how long can you use the battery??
    if i buy a 2012 or 2013 leaf i'm wondering how long will the battery last.... any idea about the battery cost in LK??

    Take 1 unit @ Rs. 26 then its better

    for 60% Charge you may use around 10-12 units.

    How long you can use the battery ? - Depends on your usage.

    Found this on wikipedia:

    "The battery pack is expected to retain 70% to 80% of its capacity after 10 years but its actual lifespan depends on how often DC fast charging (480 volts DC) is used and also on driving patterns and environmental factors.[32][40] Nissan said the battery will lose capacity gradually over time but it expects a lifespan of over 10 years under normal use.[40] The 2011/12 Leaf's battery was initially guaranteed by Nissan for eight years or 100,000 miles (160,000 km)[41][42] (see Warranty sub-section below under United States for limitations)."

    දැනට මාසෙකට විතර උඩදී ගන්න තිබුනා. දැන් ගන්න අමාරුයි.
