What is the optimal charging schedule for the Nissan Leaf?

I just purchased a Nissan Leaf and would like to know the best time to charge my car. Should I charge it every night or wait until the battery is almost depleted? I'm worried about overcharging and damaging the battery.

It's recommended to charge your Nissan Leaf every night, as this will ensure you have a full charge in the morning. Avoid waiting until the battery is almost depleted, as this can put unnecessary stress on the battery and decrease its lifespan. It's also worth investing in a level 2 charger for faster charging times.

I usually charge my Nissan Leaf every other night, as the battery has a decent range and I don't need a full charge every day. However, it's important to avoid letting the battery drop below 20%, as this can also damage the battery.

I've found that charging my Nissan Leaf during off-peak hours saves me money on my electricity bill. It's also better for the environment to reduce energy consumption during peak hours.
