Re: connecting EVSE to dryer outlet ?

Yes, I made one up using readily available adapters. If you are interested, I can post a photo of the one I made. It's somewhere on here already, but the search engine sucks on this website...

Re: connecting EVSE to dryer outlet ?

The Zencar EVSE does do 120V charging, also at various amperage set points of your choice. With mine, I charged on a TT30 circuit at an RV park, using the 24A set point, and the LEAF charged without issue.

If memory serves, the input voltage range is 110V - 250V.

Re: connecting EVSE to dryer outlet ?

Wow, Zencar just quoted me $167, plus shipping. Said they can put a 10-30 plug but not a 14-30 (I guess they just don't have one). I guess it's cool if I make an extension cord with 14-30P at one end, 10-30R at other end, and just use cheaper 10/3 cord. You can ask them for a 14-50P, then remove th...

The correct part number, for the water pump that cools the inverter circuit, is 21581-3NF0A

Re: connecting EVSE to dryer outlet ?

If you order directly from Zencar directly, you can ask them to put a 14-30P plug on the end of the EVSE and they will put a longer cord on the EVSE too, for an upcharge of course. It used to be cheaper to buy direct, although you will have to pay for shipping. Not sure if they still sell direct tho...

Re: connecting EVSE to dryer outlet ?

FWIW, I bought a Zencar 32A adjustable, portable EVSE similar to this one:

It's CE, TUV and UL certified. Not sure what they cost now, but very likely less than $400 USD.

Re: Bolt versus Leaf: Am I crazy?

Don't buy either right now, wait a few more months as new car inventory levels are starting to increase so prices should come down.

Re: Bars vs LeafSpy "weak cells"

Re: Will 2023 Ariya and Leaf qualify for Tax Credit?

I think you'll hear an announcement soon from Nissan that they will build EVs other than the Leaf in the US. It would make sense for them to use the Smyrna facility too, along with a brand new one dedicated to EV production
