    80% Rule and Voltage

    I can confirm that the EVSE I got with my 20 Leaf wouldn’t work on 208V commercial power when I tried it.

    Leaf SV+ w/ Tech Pkg vs. Niro EV EX

    My wife and I test drove both cars before settling on the Leaf. I really liked the Niro EV but my wife found the ride too harsh (feeling every little bump on our terrible Michigan roads) and too loud. I didn’t disagree. On the other hand, the Leaf is a much gentler ride (though by no means my...

    First Impressions of '21 Leaf SV

    Since the electrician told me he was putting in a 40a subpanel, I think there's a pretty good chance the wiring to the subpanel is appropriate. I'll have to check on the wiring from the subpanel to the receptacle to make sure it can handle 40a. If it can, then I imagine it's safe to put the 40a...

    First Impressions of '21 Leaf SV

    In my case the 30a circuit that my Nissan EVSE is on comes from a subpanel in my detached garage. The subpanel itself is fed from the main panel in the house, with a 40a breaker on it. Hypothetically, could I pull the 30a breaker out of the subpanel and replace it with a 40a breaker? That would...

    Hmm. Ok. I’ll have to look into that…

    First Impressions of '21 Leaf SV

    I’ve got my Nissan EVSE on a 240v circuit with a 30 amp breaker. It’s what the label on the back of the unit says is the max. But you’re right about it not working with 208v — I discovered that one the hard way! ;)

    Defective New Nissan EVSE?

    Thanks everyone. I’m hoping it’s not a defective EVSE. I’ll try it on 120v with the adapter. It’s possible the 240 outlet is miswired or only getting 208–it’s at my wife’s office building so I don’t have any control over it. But I’m glad to hear that no one else has had a defective unit!

    Defective New Nissan EVSE?

    Has anyone else had a defective Nissan-brand EVSE that came with the car? I picked up a new, 2020 SV Plus about two weeks ago. I’ve been trickle-charging it using a third-party EVSE I got a few years ago with an earlier EV. Today I tried the Nissan EVSE, the one that came with the car, for the...

    Overhead mechanism to hold charge cable?

    I strapped my (third-party) EVSE to one of the beams in my garage, near the garage door opener since there was already a 110 outlet there, which I’m using until I get around to installing a 240 line. I run the cord from the control box to a tie-down strap that I looped over the beam near where...
