The Nissan LEAF is a leading electric vehicle, ranking #2 in its class—a remarkable feat in such a competitive market. While the LEAF has always been packed with impressive features, recent upgrades have further boosted its popularity and performance.
Fermata Energy Bidirectional Charger
A major new feature for the LEAF is the introduction of the Fermata Energy Bidirectional Charger. This cutting-edge charger not only allows the LEAF to pull energy from the grid but also sends power back to it. With this innovation, the LEAF becomes the first electric vehicle in the US capable of both drawing and returning energy to the grid.
The charger offers additional benefits, such as storing energy for later use or enabling owners to save by returning excess electricity to the grid. It meets strict industry standards, including UL and CHAdeMO certifications, and has passed Nissan’s own rigorous requirements, making it fully approved for use with the LEAF.
The V2X Platform In tandem with the Fermata charger, Nissan has also integrated the V2X platform into the LEAF. This intelligent software works with the Fermata charger to increase the LEAF's power by up to 33%. The platform adheres to industry standards and features a streamlined design that reduces manufacturing costs, resulting in more affordable prices for consumers. Nissan dealerships and fleet customers can also benefit from this advanced technology, which does not affect the LEAF’s warranty. It may even be compatible with some LEAF models as far back as 2013, depending on the state.
