correct info above, but wanted to add a few clarifications:pilotnbr1 said:There are 3 power sources to plug into the car not to be confused with the car charger (3.3kv vs 6.6kv)-
Level 1- 110v "trickle charge" - the slowest but any standard wall outlet will work. 0 to 100% charge in 21 hours
Level 2 - 220v-240v - at home this is comparable to an electric dryer or electric stove outlet. If your home does not have such an outlet available you will most likely need an electrician. The electrician will need to run wire and add another circuit breaker to your home electrical panel. You will also need to buy an Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVSE) to hard wire to your new circuit or plug into the new outlet. Level 2 charging is the most common available away from home (at least in Atlanta)- take a look at Plug Share or Charge Point apps and websites to find locations. 0 to 100% charge in 5 hours or 8 hours depending on the charger which is installed in your car (3.3 kw vs 6.6kw charger)
Level 3 - 440v DC - Only available at commercial locations. Only cars equipped with a quick charge port (QC) can take this, which is all Leafs except the most base model. 0 to 100% charge in 30 minutes

Sutherlin Nissan is offering leaf S with QC for $239 a month. This was last week.
There was additional fee for paperwork. But still way better than deals for last couple of months. Including mine.
While I have had two different sales folks mention 3.3 kw, I'm pretty sure the 2015 S base model on-board charger is 3.6 kw.speedyr said:...
Car:
S base model, 3.3kw charger on board
S w/ QC: upgraded to 6.6kw charger and DC Level 3 quick charge
SV- standard 6.6kw charger, must have the QC package to use the DC Level 3 chargers
SL- standard with the QC port and the 6.6kw charger built in.
