AeroVironment Inc. has taken on the task of supplying 220-volt home-recharging systems to Nissan Leaf buyers. Aerovironment Inc., based in Monrovia, Calif., is also in the business of supplying Pentagon’s special operations forces unmanned aircraft systems, or drones.

These home-recharging systems will be sold through Nissan dealerships and will be critical to Nissan North America’s goal of selling 150,000 all-electric Leafs annually. Nissan project planners expect most recharging to be done at buyers’ homes at night rather than at public charging stations. The Nissan Leaf goes on sale in the fourth quarter of this year.
