Hi everyone,
I just purchased a 2013 Leaf SL that supports rapid charging. So far I've been using the trickle charger. I'm looking at installing an L2 charger, and was looking at 6.6-7.2KW charging stations from Blink and Siemens. Both are 30A units that require a 40A breaker.
No problems there.
Then I read that higher amperage means even faster charge times. So in theory if I went with a ClipperCreek 48A unit that requires a 60A breaker, it will charge faster than the cheaper 30A units out there.
With 6.6Kw being the max wattage of the Leaf's charger, will higher amperage from the charging unit make a meaningful difference?
Thanks! Love my new Leaf!
