e-nv200 suffers really badly from Rapidgate – you can’t even get a second (let alone 3rd or 4th) rapid charge done at the claimed speeds:
This is what the e-nv200 brochure claims:

(Suggests that problem is more extreme on Leaf)
Drive 90-95kmh max (85-90) 55-60mph
Avoid overtaking
Keep power on when charging
Avoid going below 10% charge
Charge when below 25%
Active cooling on e-nv200 but takes more energy
“Rapidgate (v): To over heat battery without proper thermal management”
Could fix it with software update

Some interesting discussion of Nissan’s responses to the Leaf rapid gate issue – especially regarding number of rapid charges per day (not more than 2)

Another report on it
citing 1hr 43 minutes to get to 80% – it only taking a 17kW charge
