    Charge kWh usage calculator/tracker

    This one off Amazon has done the best: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08H1JLBF9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It doesn't have the ability to export a CSV file, but the "Smart Life" app does show the kWh usage by day, month, and year. It was also accurate to within 0.5% of...

    Charge kWh usage calculator/tracker

    This is the answer! I purchased a couple different ones to see which will work the best for my application. Thanks.

    Charge kWh usage calculator/tracker

    Yes, I already used the Kill-a-Watt to find that the Nissan EVSE pulls 11.86 amps for the entirety of the charge. At 110v that is 1.3 kilowatts per hour. I have a timer and can use it, I am just looking for a more automated way to measure and log actual kWh used so that I don't have to start...

    Charge kWh usage calculator/tracker

    At your recommendation, I was perusing the Amazon looking for something that might work for my application and I came across a few WiFi Plugs w/Energy Monitoring... which might be exactly what I am looking for. I am a little worried about keeping something plugged in pulling max(ish) continuous...

    Charge kWh usage calculator/tracker

    I am using the Nissan EVSE at 110v on an outdoor plug in a shared use space where I live. The owner of the property is not currently interested in installing a L2 EVSE but is okay with me using the 110 plug so long as I track my usage and reimburse. I can't use the kill-a-watt meter outdoors so...

    120 Trickle Charge - How many amps?

    Using a "P3 P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor" I get 11.86 amps on my 2021 SL Plus with the included EVSE. I have seen others as low as 10.6 Amps.

    80% Rule and Voltage

    This is something I didn't take into account. At what temp will it start to be an issue? (But yes you are right, average high temperature here is 72° in July and August)

    80% Rule and Voltage

    I wasn't looking for a loophole, just some clarification on the "rule" and some better understanding. But thanks.

    80% Rule and Voltage

    Ok, that makes sense. I'll make sure to keep my EVSE amp setting dialed down or keep the charge to less than 3 hrs.

    80% Rule and Voltage

    It is commercial, 208v service. And yes, I understand that continuous loads are supposed to be at 80%. My question is still if the voltage is only at 80% of the breaker rating and the total wattage load I am pulling is 80% of the breaker rating, does that work?

    80% Rule and Voltage

    Where is that info coming from? I was under the impression the car can only pull the amperage the EVSE provides. (mine is adjustable)

    80% Rule and Voltage

    Do you mean 208 V, three-phase? 208V single-phase might work. I believe I've read here that the Nissan EVSE won't work with 208V @ three-phase AC power. Someone else more knowledgeable will probably chime in though, give it some time. Yes, it's 208, but comes out at 198-200v single phase. I...

    80% Rule and Voltage

    If I am using a 30a plug and breaker, but the voltage is only at 200v, does that mean I can use the full 30a? (I know that is 83%) But the main question is does the 80% apply to the voltage as well as the amperage? They both contribute to the circuit capacity, measured in watts. Also, I would...

    Is anyone getting over $2000 off a new 2021 SL/SV plus in dealer discount?

    Got mine with a $2,681 dealer discount as well as the $7,500 Nissan Cash back in WA.

    110v, 208v, and 240v adjustable, Portable EVSE?

    So many good recommendations and things to consider! Thanks guys!
