Greetings,
I'm looking at leasing a 2018 Leaf and it will be my first electric car.
Our garage has a Nema 14-30 Outlet. The garage was built about 3 years ago and it looks like this outlet is hooked up to a 30 Amp breaker.
The dealer couldn't give me a straight answer, but I'm wondering can I plug the charging cable that Nissan provides directly into this outlet? Or do I need to upgrade to a Nema 14-50 Outlet and a 50 amp breaker? I couldn't find this info on the Nissan website.
Alternatively, I see there are products such as this one from ClipperCreek:
https://store.clippercreek.com/level2/level2-20-to-32?product_id=121
Would I need to buy this? I assume this would be cheaper than having an electrician come out and upgrade my panel.
I appreciate any help you can offer.
Many thanks!
