Thanks TimeLee. Yes it is. I leave 200 meters far from the sea but as I said, I imported this leaf from US. It may justify the mileage you see! for cost comparison, I used a BMW 530 Diesel V6 consuming around 50 USD a week on fuel usually. With the leaf, for the past two weeks, I charged one...

Hi, I have this 25 A breaker installed already. Is the adjustment to 25 A + important for the charging time? thanks.

Thanks for the update. I will be fine with the 15A as long as it does not last the charging time at a complete discharge of the battery. I precise the car has the 6.6 KW charger and I hope the 220 V current will enable a raisonnable charging time! I will observe and measure the impacted phase...

Hello guys, A quick update! Unfortunately, the car is still under customs clearance. But yesterday, I brought the EVSE to make a try. I agree, the EVSE is an american made upgraded for international clients. So with my electrician, we plugged the EVSE on the L 6 30 receptacle (what a bloody...

It is possible it has been upgraded because the seller changed the 110 V car EVSE for this one capable of going with 220 V at my request. It is like the EVSE is for 20 A. I can confirm it : the car has the 6.6 kW charger! Do you think there is a risk the car not to charge? The 20 A breaker is...

Please find images attached for EVSE and home installatin prepared! :roll:

Hello mates, Problem : the car miss the vessel of 6 june for the shipping in West Africa. Next vessel is for 21 june. As the car is not running and staying fully charged at the port, is there any risk that the battery comes down before? Thanks for your comments.

Very good to know! The car is coming in few weeks. Let us wait for! Thanks!

Yes i am importing from US. The seller said he can provide a EU nissan leaf Charger. I hope i will be just plug and charge!

The buyer said he can offer me a EU 220 v Nissan Leaf charger. So the voltage is good. Does everyone thing it would be just plug and charge? Can a Europe 220V leaf charger be simply usable for US leaf? Thanks for your comments.

Right. I have contacted EVSE upgrade and the can upgrade the 110 v to 220 v Africa. Sounds good!
