This graph shows the 120v AC power draw of the Nissan EVSE.
The battery reported "75% charge" before I began:

Note the hard start and hard finish. There is nothing of the 'balancing' phase or pulsed consumption we saw on previous graphs.
Any ideas why? Because it started from 75%? Because it's brand new?

The Power Factor is close to 100%, which is good.
Peak current was right at 12.0A, and voltage sagged to 112V under load.
The GFI on this rig is known to be very sensitive, and did not trip.
Stand-by (idle/phantom) power on the EVSE is 1.25W.
Leaving it plugged into the Leaf did not consume any additional power, of course.
