Do you have to have a subscription in order to set a charging limit. I have not found that option with the non paid version of the app.What country are you in?

For example, if my battery is at 62% SOC, charging for 1 hour at 18kW will bring it up to 80%.
Level 2 charging is through the onboard charger, I don't know what the 2019 has for an onboard charger, but a 2015 is limited to 6Kw/hr. It doesn't matter what the charging station can provide, the onboard charger can't use more than 6.6 input.
Level 3 charging is a whole different matter, however that bypasses the internal charger. Is that what you are talking about?
You are right. I should have said that the EVSE charges at the rate of 18% per hour. I have edited my post to correct that.Level 2 charging is through the onboard charger, I don't know what the 2019 has for an onboard charger, but a 2015 is limited to 6Kw/hr.

I didn't know if the later cars had bigger chargers to go along with their bigger capacity battery packs.
What market are *you* in? It's not available in the USA or Canada.Yes, it is possible to set a charging limit on your Nissan Leaf. The feature is not available through the vehicle itself, but can be accomplished through the NissanConnect EV app. The app is available for both Android and iOS and can be used to remotely start or stop charging, set the climate control, and view the battery status, among other things. You can set a charging limit on the app by selecting the “Charge” option and then choosing “Set Charge Limit”. From there, you can adjust the charging limit to a percentage of your choosing. Note that the charging limit feature may not be available in all markets, so you may want to check with Nissan or your local Nissan dealer to see if this feature is available in your region.

Charging rate is measured in kW.Actually I do know the difference between Kw and Kwh but sometimes what the mind thinks doesn't get to what the hands type.
It will likely happen to you some day, and I hope those that point it out or clarify do it more gently than you. Age can be humiliating to the proudest of us
There is no need to be so condescending.
In most cases it is easy to figure out what the person is trying to get across.
In the above example it is obvious to any who read it, that Kwh were what he/she was talking about.
A simple, "I think you meant Kwh" would be enough if you feel a need to correct.
Yet, Nissan continues to hand out a paper like at (look at the bottom third) that tells people that sustained high state of charge like frequently charging to 100% and leaving it at above 80% for long period of time may hasten degradation.Apparently on the 1st gen Leafs, up until 2014, there was a setting to limit the amount of charge. But Nissan saw fit to do away with this feature. Since the battery warranty hasn't changed one might conclude that this feature is no longer as necessary as it once may have been.

Really? That would be a nice thing. I'm going to try it out!There is a roundabout way to start/stop Leaf charging from the app. Anytime you start the climate control while plugged in, your Leaf is charging. As soon as you stop climate control your Leaf will stop charging.
You are correct and my brain is getting "fuzzy" . He can't put 18 Kw in to the battery in an hour using the onboard charger. He can put 18 Kw into the battery by charging for longer. A higher capacity supply current doesn't make it charger any faster. SO picking a charge station that can supply 18 Kw will not make the car take it at that rate. That was what I was trying to say. Sorry, I wasn't correctly getting that point across.Charging rate is measured in kW.
If he said "I think you meant kWh" when talking about charging rate, that would be wrong. It's measured in kW.
As Sage has pointed out, it's actually kWh per h but h divided by h cancels out --> kW.
Don't know what is meant by: "In the above example it is obvious to any who read it, that Kwh were what he/she was talking about."
No North American Leaf has an 18 kW on-board charger. They're all 6.6 kW max. And, thus when AC charging a Leaf over J1772, 18 kWh per hour of charging is also impossible.
6.6 kW * 1 hour --> 6.6 kWh out of the "wall"
6.6 kW * 2 hours --> 13.2 kWh out of the "wall". Multiply the units and values.
This is what I was responding toI charge my 2019 leaf consistently at the same EVSE. That EVSE is level 2 and charges at about 18kW per hour.
So for a leaf with 6.6 input (6 output) that 18 would be 3 hr, as long as the battery was low enough not to be into the tapering near full charge.
I know what he is saying, but the "hr" plugged into the wall makes it 18Kw/hr, something not obtainable unless it is DC charging.
--> dP/dt (Power)dkW/dt
How do you set the timer from the app?Gen2 here. (2018)
You quickly become aware of the charge rate per hour after you have charged a few times.
For example, if I monitor the Nissan App for the SOC as I'm charging, I noticed that if charging at 3.6KW (15Amps/240), the SOC increases 12% per hour on average.
So when I get home for the day, I plug the EVSE I have into the port. Later that evening, at my leisure, I open the Nissan App and see the SOC is 45%
I want to charge to ~75%
So I want an increase of 30%
At 12% per hour, that 2.5 hours.
I open the EVSE app and send the Start Charge command. And I set the timer to stop charging at 2.5 hours from then.
I wake to a Leaf at 75% SOC +-1%
Lots of modern EVSE have features that substitute for the missing Nissan onboard features. But there's no reason not to have all the conveniences that you might desire with the current available charging options.
