Question for you from a new leaf owner.
I am contemplating an L2 at home. I'm in no rush as L1 meets our needs. 25 km daily commute 5 days a week and 50-70 km on the weekend or more can easily be caught up with the L1.
But, I anticipate there will be times when it would be nice to have more power. Normally I buy the best. I have a 6.6 kw charger in my leaf. Do I buy a 3.3, 4.8, of 6.6 capable EVSE?
Say I could buy the 4.8 for $600 and moving to the 6.6 was $850. The difference at $250 is what it will cost in electricity to drive my leaf for a year. In this situation does it really make sense to get the best? I guess from a future proofing it would make sense, but having just bought the 2013 leaf I don't intend to flip it for a minimum of 5 years, perhaps until generation 2.5 BEVs are out...and the leaf is big about saving $ on consumption right...
Any words of wisdom?
Thanks
