How many kilowatt-hours is the 2022 LEAF battery?
If you haven’t been watching your electric bill closely, it’s very reasonable that you have no idea what a kilowatt-hour even is. The common abbreviation is kWh, but let’s break that down further. A kilowatt is 1,000 watts, and a watt is simply volts times amps. Adding the hour means that a 10-kWh battery can supply 10 kilowatts for one hour. It could last longer if you use less wattage as most car batteries aren’t designed to be discharged in just an hour.
The base model LEAF S along with the LEAF SV above it both come with a 40-kWh battery, which is already impressive enough. However, the LEAF S Plus, SV Plus, and SL Plus each come with a 62-kWh battery.
