Signed a 3 yr lease with Tacoma Nissan in February 2016 and bought a Juicebox pro wifi......Size #6 romex....2 hots and a ground....No neutral.....240 volt.....40 amp breaker.....NEMA 14-50 receptacle....I installed the Juicebox in my garage......Happy so far.....Charges as advertised......upgradable for higher capacity chargers.....I think the max is 240 at 50 or 60 amps.....10k charger.....don't quote me though.....my memory isn't what it use to be.....at 57.....sometimes I cant remember what I just did...Ha.....Anyways.....My drivers door has been misaligned since purchase.....sure does fog up easy....Are all leafs known to fog up the windows......My tundra and corolla windows never seem to fog up as fast or as easily as this Nissan Leaf.....First EV purchase......Bought on juice box Pro from Amazon.....Does anyone else have a juicebox pro wifi for their Nissan Leaf with 30KW battery and 6.6KW charger.....I Drive 110 miles a day round trip commute.... four days a week....100 percent charge at home then drive 55 miles to work......50 percent battery level average upon arrival to work......12 hr shift....charge at work.....with Level 1 charger for 12 .5 hrs.....battery level charged to 90 percent with level 1 charger upon my return 55 mile commute home....the trip back home from work is more of an incline.....or uphill....the battery level is at 30 or 20 percent upon my return trip to home.....I'm mostly in Economy mode.....drive mode and B mode......The question I pose to the veteran leaf owners is .......Should I run my Batteries down to 0 percent once in awhile.....And if so.....How often......and if I do so once a month...does it condition the battery.....I think I recall that it reduces the life span of the Battery pack pending how often I drain the batteries down to zero......I also read somewhere that I should charge to 80 percent sometimes to increase the lithium battery life span.....I anxiously await all your Veteran leaf owner responses...advice and recommendations.....Counting my blessings as I commute from Gig Harbor to Seattle 2 days and 2 nights a week.....Secret.....( I really want a Tesla ).....He..He....240 mile range sure sounds good to me....Peace....
