The 2026 Nissan Leaf Has One Weird Charging Compromise

  • How charging works on the new Nissan Leaf:
  • The Tesla (NACS) plug on the passenger side of the car is used for fast-charging.
  • The J1772 plug on the driver's side is used for slow and Level 2 charging on conventional chargers.
  • If you want to slow-charge at one of Tesla's Destination chargers, you need an adapter for the J1772 plug.
  • If you want to fast-charge at a conventional station like Electrify America, you need an adapter for the NACS plug.
