It would be nice if Nissan could answer that question. They built the car, they verified the specs they published (that's an ISO requirement), just publish the test results so we all don't have to go drive around testing this and that.

In the time that I have recorded and documented, the battery received 11 kWh in 14 minutes. This translates to a charging rate of 47 kW. A rate that is achievable with 50 kW chargers. That is why I assert that the 100 kW mention and listing in the manual including the chart on page CH-8 of the...

Let's look at it from another direction. If the Nissan Leaf Plus with 62 kWh battery supports 100 kW charging, why doesn't the Nissan Leaf User Interface only go up to 50 kW charging rate? Do you all have the same info on your screens?

I go the same experience with EVgo Charging Stations that Nissan partners with, supports and touts.

Here is the battery temp. The picture of the charger screen with 48% was taken at 2:34 PM. The battery temperature below was taken after the charging was started, this caused the battery to warm up and for the rate to drop. My average charging rate for this session was less than 50 kW. This was...

It looks like the trip has the following DC chargers on the way: EA at the WMT Bellmead Center, One 50 kW Chademo Round Rock Premium Outlets, One 50 kW Chademo Cinemark at Round Rock Premium Outlets, One 50 kW Chademo, EVgo Round Rock Nissan, One 50 kW Chademo Round Rock Hyundai, One 62 kW Chademo

Not Cheap!

EA 100 kW charger at Cell Phone Lot West in JFK. The starting rate was actually 47 kW at 48% SOC.

Providing evidence is standard practice.

No one was knocking your 5-year old car or battery. It was just a mathematical calculation of power delivered over a time duration.

Let's keep the discussion cordial and centered around facts, figures, etc. As the earlier chart showed, the 70+ rate lasted for 10 minutes and deteriorated to 44 within 20 minutes. Short-lived 70+ rates are possible. But the battery on the Leaf is unable to sustain such rates for too long.

This was 20% to 60% of a 52 kWh battery, not a 62 kWh battery. 80% of a 62 kW in 45 minutes is a rate of 66. The average of the above is well below that before even going up to 80% which would have had further drops in rate as the graph shows. No telling what the rate would've dropped down to...

Below is how the charging session went with the data I got from the video. The 70+ charging rate was only maintained for 10 minutes or so after which, the rate experienced major drops and was at about 50 within 13 minutes. The session's average charging rate is 62.4. That is far from the 100 kW...

It shows that 20.2 kW were delivered and that was equivalent to 40% (20% to 60%). 20.2 kW in the Leaf is 32 - 33%. These numbers don't jive. Maybe there is a good explanation

I have collected evidence and posted pictures of the sub 50kW charging rates. You indicated you have achieved 70+ kW plus charging rates. Post the evidence. If not, don't make statements you cannot back up.

Please post a video of your 70+ charging rate and the battery temperature at intervals during the charging (beginning and every 5-10 minutes).

The simple statement was that the Nissan Leaf has no battery cooling (fact) and batteries get warm while charging (fact). So when the Nissan Leaf is at the "optimum" temperature, it gets warmer when plugged in (fact) and the warming causes the temperature to be higher than optimum thus dropping...

Again, I see a Nissan corporate effort here to create ambiguity. Do you have data supporting the statement: "I think much of the complaining is from the Gen 1 Leafs". If there is no data, why even make statements like this except to confuse?

I see the vested interest to defend Nissan despite all contrary indications and blame the consumer. Is "Gotcha" the goal here? Again, we have laws that govern this. Attacking the consumer is just not right!

Thank you for your understanding and empathy. To add, we do have false advertising laws that can deal with this situation.
