rickc said:This is a great forum and I am on the fence but leaning towards purchasing a LEAF--it will mainly be used for my wife's commute which is about 20 miles roundtrip---can we get away with charging only with 110?
thanks much
Yep - you find yourself looking for ways to take the Leaf instead of your other car - even if it means driving a bit slower than usual and/or looking for a bit of a charge at your destination.GaslessInSeattle said:The Leaf was going to be our second car, now it's our primary.
Several errors there, I believe:Caracalover said:I was told the 110 charger pulls about 8 amps, so unless the circuit you are plugging into has a lot of other stuff on it, you won't have any issues. Most circuits are at least 20, normal is 30 I think.

and lets you use your normal 5-15P plug.
Thank you Ray, as I mentioned I am not educated on these matters, and was hoping some one would step up with this kind of info. Thanks again.planet4ever said:Unlike what Caracalover said, you will not find 30 amp circuits in a home and you will often find 15 amp circuits there. That's why the owners manual tells you to use a "dedicated electrical outlet", by which they mean one on a circuit by itself, no other outlets connected to the same circuit breaker.
