Do I need to charge my Nissan Leaf every night?

I recently purchased a Nissan Leaf and I'm wondering if it's necessary to charge it every night. Will it harm the battery if I don't? Any tips for maximizing battery life?

It is not necessary to charge your Nissan Leaf every night, but it is recommended to keep the battery level above 50% for optimal performance. Charging every night will not harm the battery as long as you use a manufacturer-approved charger. As for maximizing battery life, try to avoid extreme temperatures and rapid charging. A regular charging routine and driving in eco mode can also help prolong the life of your battery.

I have been using my Nissan Leaf for over a year and have never experienced any issues with the battery. I charge it every other day and it still performs very well. I do suggest using a timer on your charger to avoid overcharging and also using regenerative braking whenever possible to preserve the battery.
