2013 Nissan Leaf Hatchback S 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)
DC fast charger not needed, but 6.6KW is a must!
 Had the car for 1300 miles and 1 month. Great car. Purchased after I got tired of waiting for the new Smart ED which had repeated delays.We got the base S model with the $1300 DC Fast Charge option.SL, SV models come with the 6.6KW onboard charger that charges your car at about 30% per hour.The old 3.3KW charger (still standard on the S) gives you about half that charging rate meaning you'll be forced to wait longer when charging out in town.This is a huge deal!The fast charge option adds the high speed DC charge 30 mins 0-80% and upgrades the 3.3kw to the 6.6kw onboard.That is a big deal!In hindsight, prob should have just gotten the mid-grade Leaf with the 6.6w charger.
