LEAF Certification Practice Test

The portable EVSE cable for the 2022 Nissan LEAF can be used for what type of charging?

1. Standard charging connected to a 240-volt outlet

2. Only for solar-powered charging

3. Charging with public charging stations only

4. Exclusive use with Tesla chargers

The correct answer is: Standard charging connected to a 240-volt outlet

The portable EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) cable for the 2022 Nissan LEAF is designed to facilitate standard charging when connected to a 240-volt outlet. This setup allows for Level 2 charging, which is more efficient than Level 1 charging, typically provided by a standard 120-volt outlet. With a 240-volt setup, the LEAF can charge more quickly, reducing the time needed to recharge the vehicle's battery. The other options present scenarios that do not apply to the LEAF's portable EVSE. For instance, charging specifically from solar-powered systems may require dedicated equipment or configurations not covered by standard EVSE. Public charging stations can vary widely in compatibility, and many are structured for fixed installations; thus, they do not align exclusively with the use of a portable cable. Finally, the mention of Tesla chargers is misleading since the LEAF is not compatible with Tesla's proprietary charging system without an adapter, which typically would not be used for the portable EVSE specifically designed for Nissan vehicles. Therefore, the most accurate answer pertains to the ability of the portable EVSE to connect to standard 240-volt outlets for effective charging.
