Nissan EV Quick Charger

Nissan’s new charger is being launched as part of a global collaboration with Japan-based Sumitomo, with the first installations planned for early 2012. Nissan said the new unit will retain the performance of current quick chargers but at around half the size – making for a more compact footprint and easier installation. Through this new charger, which operates on a 480-volt current, charging time for the all-electric Nissan Leaf will be under 30 minutes, from a fully depleted state to 80-percent charged.
