Type 1
This plug is mostly found in mainland Europe, but some UK cars have a Type 1 connector and you may see them at home and public charge stations. These have a maximum charge of 7.4kW. Type 1 can typically be found in 2020 – 2017 first-generation Nissan LEAF.
Type 2
New EVs sold in the UK will have a Type 2 socket and often come with a Type 2 cable. Most home charges also feature a Type 2 connector. This is the most common socket you’ll see. Type 2 is standard in 2017 – present second-generation Nissan LEAF.
CCS (Combined Charging System)
These are favoured by European makers and are available only at public charging stations with a rapid DC charging capacity of 50kW or more. New Nissan ARIYA and electric Townstar are produced with a CCS charging port.

Many customers prefer the convenience of a home charging unit. Nissan has partnered with two of the biggest EV charging installers in the UK – E-ON Drive and Pod Point, who offer a pre-selected range of quality home charging units with standard installation by reputable specialists.
To support you moving to electric, you can include the cost of a home charging unit within the same single monthly payment for your car, spread over the term of the finance agreement.
There are now more than 28,000 points across the country, and Scotland benefits from the highest density of chargers per person!
Rapid charging using CHAdeMO takes around 60 minutes from 20 to 80% in a 39kWh Nissan LEAF and around 90 minutes in a 59kWh LEAF e+. If you’re charging on the go, this is a convenient way to top up while you stop for lunch or a coffee.
Many public charging points in Scotland are free, depending on the council area or where the charger is located. Usually, public charging costs just a few pence per kWh or the cost can be reimbursed if you use the facilities where you’re parked. The charging network can be accessed using smartphone apps like Charge Place Scotland or Pod Point. You can also sign up for an RFID charging card via Charge Place Scotland which can be used to activate most public chargers. At 17p per kWh, which is an average rate at public chargers, a full charge on a 39kWh LEAF will only cost around £6.60 and provide you with up to 168 miles WLTP of driving range.
The average price of electricity is less than £3 per 100 miles, compared to around £10 per 100 miles in a petrol car.
