Yes, I agree. I have already order the ITT from Leviton to replace the REMA plus cable. I cannot help to wounder what is going bad in the REMA plug. It is bad workmanship (the wire crimps) or is something wearing out on the connector sockets? Or manybe both.

I am getting the "twin" chargers. Getting an additional 10KW of chargering for only $1500 is quite the deal compair to the cost of DC charging equipment.

My REMA on my Blink home EVSE is bad. Below are my temperature measurements I made of the REMA, Yazaki and ITT plugs while charging my 2011 Nissan Leaf. Note, temperatures measurements were measured with a CEN-TECH IR Thermometer Item # 93983 running in “MAX” mode ½ inch from the socket or...

Phil, thanks for posting the photos. I really helps to see the Leaf connector in order to make the modification mention earlier. Jim

Like you, now that I know to pay attention to aliening the connector I am more carful but my wife and daughter are still having problems. Rather than being carful I see that they are just pushing on the connector harder. I am sure this will lead to more problems. Because I want to avoid...

Tony I want to thank-you for making this post. I think the SAE J1772 connector is going to become a bigger issue (especially as these connectors wear out). Also there is another useful form post “J1772 not fitting in socket” http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=10390"...

Enginer Auxiliary Battery Pack Questions. 1) I have the two Nissan/Panasonic Level 1 cordsets upgraded by EVSE Upgrade to work off 240/208 VAC. One of the units is set to 12 amps and the other to 16 amps. With an Enginer Auxiliary Battery Pack installed when I charge using the upgraded EVSE...

No, the IEC60309 is a 125 Amp, 240 V, Single Phase, 3-wire, Watertight Connector. The second TOU meter is at my residence. I want to get a Tesla Model S. So, since I was spending so much on the electrical upgrade anyway I put in a connection suitable for the Tesla. Jim

I would love to go but I don’t have a towable turbine hitch to the back of my Leaf like Phil Sadow. :( So I don’t know how I could make the 476 mile trip without one (952 total miles). Maybe Phil would like to take a “charge as we go” caravan to Poway? :?: That would be news worthy. ...

Wow, the Italians have nailed the sweet spot with these DC charger. This is the charger I have been looking for. I am 6 blocks off the 580 Freeway (San Leandro, Estudillo exit) and would love to hook one of these up to my second meter (125 A breaker in subpanel) and make it available via...

I am interested. :) Jim
