Re: Replacing 3.6KWh with 6.6KWh On-Board Charger

You just need a wrecked 6.6kw car to pull all the odds and ends out of.
I can run up to 1,800 miles a month on my leaf and I mostly use a 240V 12 amp charger. Why the need to 6.6kw?

Re: Leaf to ICE - Back to past!

The climate in Sri Lanka seems to have ravaged the leaf battery and no support from nissan seems to have created the demand.

Re: Increasing Nissan Leaf Range with mini battery trailer

Well if it's part of a camper setup, emergency power rig it makes way more sense.
Cause we know know entire electrical interconnects are vulnerable to collapse.

Re: Dumbest excuses people have given for NOT installing PV

Holy old thread, Batman ... thanks for the ideas. Since my post, I have installed a system, 4.32kW, with a SunnyBoy inverter (with the "secure power" thing). It's a ground mount system, so I don't need to worry about rapid-shutdown (the inverter of course does the anti-islanding UL1741 th...

Re: Dumbest excuses people have given for NOT installing PV

In 2019 I believe it was about $3 a watt for a fly by night install company to install panels on a string inverter.
Closer to $4 per watt for micro inverter, from a legacy company.

Re: Dumbest excuses people have given for NOT installing PV

The biden administration want to reduce solar install cost by 60%.
If you delete any associated taxes , permits fees, inspection costs, make the panels and inverter free you can just about get there.

Re: Increasing Nissan Leaf Range with mini battery trailer

A solar canopy, bahahahaha. Since you are on here I assumed you know how big solar panels are, how much they output, and how much power it takes to move an electric car. Guess not. Let me demonstrate the numerous ways you are wrong. First why the "solar canopy" is useless, a waste of money...

Re: Solar wholesale recommendations

Santan soar in AZ.
I buy a pallet of panels from them once or twice a year and resell them locally 1 to 5 panels at a time for at least double.

Re: Increasing Nissan Leaf Range with mini battery trailer

I still say a diesel powered push trailer is a better option. Just putting my empty trailer behind my leaf reduces range by around 25%. Make a trailer around a 600 to 900lb battery, just doesn't seem worth it. Assuming you had a 40kwh car and you put a 1,000lb 60kwh battery trailer on your car you m...
