The Nissan LEAF uses the CHAdeMO fast charging standard which is slowly falling out of favor as most other automakers have settled on the CCS (Combined Charging System) standard. This has caused fears about the survival of the long term viability of CHAdeMO charging stations and whether LEAF owners may soon find themselves facing a dearth of fast chargers down the road. Often at issue are issues such as infrastructure development, the role of government and industry standards, and whether adapters or retrofits might exist. This is an important consideration for prospective buyers – particularly those buying a LEAF for the long haul, or who tend to rely on public charging.
