So the million dollar question I guess is ......Is it worth the extra $200 for the charger? What would you do?

So quick question regarding Clipper Creek EVSE's : They have a 15amp 240v EVSE that is a hardwired connection (I can put a 4 plug dryer plug on it) for $395 then they have a 20amp 240v with the plug already on it for $595. Right now I'm not looking to future proof, just looking for the...

Ohh that Panasonic is VERY cool!! I like it. The Clipper Creek 20A charger I was looking at is only $385 though. I'm not sure if double that is with it. Will have to think about it.

Ya nevermind I just saw on the back it's only 120v. So instead of opening something that was designed a certain way, so I'll just go with clipper creek.

Ok wait am I missing something here? Are you saying instead of modifying the brick I can by a 120 to 240v adapter and connect it to the stock L1 EVSE and can be charging at a higher rate? If so is this safe and would it be at 16A or ??? Thanks!

So I know my electrical pretty good. I think I can perform theupgrade on the L1 evse that came with car. Do you all recommend this or would I get max amperage that Leaf can pull from the clipper creek 20amp charger?? Or b y updating the stock EVSE will that be max? Thanks!

Gotcha! Thank you! So where can I find the info regarding my 2014 Leaf S doing 20amps? Can anyone on here help please :) Thanks again!

MWalsh...Got you on the plug type I understand and I think it's the same as my home but will certainly double check before hand. However I did lose you on the 16A that the 3.3kW pulls versus it being the same as any other L2 EVSE?? Aren't there EVSE out there that are 30A & 40A for the home...

Hi Everyone, We just purchased our first EV ever and got the 2014 Nissan Leaf S with the 3.6 kW onboard charger. I wish now that I knew better and got the 6.6 kW upgrade but it is what it is unless there is a easy way to upgrade the onboard charger?? Anyhow on that note I was looking at the...

Kawan999 - You have a much lower sales tax rate in Tx probably 6.25%.......Good old California where I live is 8.50% Though I could have done a little better, it's over a $1,000 difference for what I paid for car in tax dollars. wongfeihong187 - They gave me 15k/year but I didn't need that as...

So I didn't do to bad....I figured I could have done better, but for doing ZERO homework and the wife really wanting it on impulse, I figured that at least I didn't get screwed hard lol.

Anyone?
