Nissan Leaf 2018-2025 (ZE1) Owner's Manual : Charging related remote function (models with Navigation System)

To keep you effortlessly connected to your vehicle, the Nissan Leaf is equipped with a sophisticated Telematics Communication Unit (TCU). This built-in device maintains a constant connection between your car and the NISSAN Data Center, empowering you with a suite of advanced remote services designed for modern, convenient ownership.

  • Remote battery status check: You can stay informed about your vehicle's energy levels from anywhere. Using the "NissanConnect EV & Services" app, the general "NissanConnect" platform, or the secure Owners Portal, you can monitor the charge status of your Li-ion battery without ever needing to step inside the car.
  • Remote start charge: Gain total control over your charging schedule. Whether you are at your desk or relaxing at home, you can use your computer or an internet-enabled smartphone to initiate a battery charging session or activate the climate control system to pre-condition your Nissan Leaf interior for your arrival.
  • Plug-in reminder: Never worry about forgetting to charge again. You can set specific times for the system to verify your connection status. If your Nissan Leaf is not plugged in by your selected time after you have powered down, the system will automatically send a notification e-mail to your registered account or smartphone.
