What gauge is 6 awg??

My builder says it 220V 40 Amp is that what Nissan requires for their charger? I just don't want to pay for their expensive wiring, when I could have it done when the home is being built.

Would the 240V 40amp outlet work with the evseupgrade.com device? If I chose that route?

Ok, so I am confused what the difference is between 220V 30 amp or 240V 40 amp circuit? How will it affect my charging or bill or does it even matter? Nissan states: Home charging dock will require a 220/240V 40 amp dedicated circuit connected to a breaker. The charging dock will need to be...

Thanks for the info, I was hoping Nissan did something to prevent that from happening.

Just curious does the Nissan Leaf have a something (like not being able to turn on your car) if you charger is still plug in? I see myself or my wife doing this one day. Has this ever happened to anyone?

Would the dealership know, when they run the testing/maintenance on the Nissan Leaf, if you had used a evseupgrade.com unit? With the computer system on the Nissan Leaf, it is a concern.

Sounds good, I just didn't want a outrages rate. I'm new to the Electric car Leaf, so I am trying to educate myself and family. I have a good credit rating and driving record, so I should be fine...... ;)

What is the normal Car Insurance Rate for a 2012 Nissan LEAF™ SL? I will be leasing for 3 years with a good credit rating.

Well, if I like the Leaf and it works out I will buy the car at the end of the lease. I have never leased. I just couldn't afford to buy and the risk of the new technology. I hope to see charging stations going up around the US in the next 3 years. As long as electricity prices stay low and I...

Sounds like a plan :D BTY how long is the cord for the EvseUpgrade? Can EvseUpgrade.com add more length to the cord if needed? Sure would handy, you just never know what situation you will be in to plug/charge to car. What is the cost of 220V EVSE unit /110 Volt adapter included (no swap)...

What is everyone thoughts on Leasing a 2012 Nissan LEAF™ SL trim for 3 years, instead of buying ? I am going with 15,000 miles per year. Does gap insurance come with the lease or is it extra?

I ordered a 2012 Nissan LEAF™ SL trim :) . I will leasing it for 3 years. I am having a home built with a 220V outlet in the garage. The house will be done around the end of November, before I get the car. I am trying to avoid the $2000 Charger Nissan wants me to purchase. So I have a few...

So, $1000 deduction from the dealer is what to be expected from the MRSP. I was hoping around the $1650 range (5%). I live in the Austin, TX area. I have about three dealerships to choose from.......oh well, if it don't work out, I still have a nice Nissan Sentra ;) JP
