Hi,
I bought a 2015 Leaf in January and have been using the 110 charger that came with the car. My garage has a 240 dryer outlet, however, and I'd like to have the option of using it when I need to charge a bit more quickly.
I have two questions:
1) Do I need to have an electrician make any modifications to the outlet, or will a 240 charging station work directly with the existing outlet? (An image of the outlet is found at https://imgur.com/a/By0OxLv.)
2) Can anyone recommend an affordable charger that's appropriate for my vehicle? I don't need a top-of-the-line, super-fast charger--just a bit faster than overnight charging.
I really appreciate any advice!
