The charger is built into the car. I believe you are asking about which EVSE to send in. The EVSEupgrade web site has a bright yellow bar at the top sayinggasless said:Going to use evseupgrade.com to upgrade either one. I have been told the 2013 charger has memory. Is there any pros or cons of sending either for upgrade?
That's you, so contact them. One hint: They will be probably be happier to help you if you don't call your two EVSEs chargers.2013 Leaf owners: We have great new options with even faster charging for you! Please contact us for more information!
We presently have a few left in stock, but they are on national backorder now. (I think we got them all)adric22 said:Has anyone found the price for buying a 2013 EVSE direct from Nissan? Is it still ridiculously expensive?
Ingineer said:We now have a new web site in operation, and I'm working on getting more details added and brought up to date. Hopefully we can get the new FAQ system operational soon. There are pictures showing both units for comparison.
The 2013 model is a bit smaller and lighter, with a more flexible cord. The only major difference is that the internal design of the 2013 has flash memory that stores your settings after power loss, whereas the 2011-2012 units don't.
They both are equipped with the same length (approximately 25' overall) #12 AWG cable, but the 2013 is slightly smaller overall, and it's more flexible.
If I had both, I would upgrade the 2013 model, but it's not worth paying more to get a 2013.
It would also be a great help for the new site if our existing customers could give us reviews on their upgrades:
Here is the review link for 2011-2012 upgrades.

New site looks great, btw.
The Leaf EVSE's are known to not work with Teslas or gen2 RAV4 EV; it doesn't exactly meet the standard ether!planet4ever said:* There have been occasional reports of cheap EVSEs that cause problems with LEAFs or other cars because they don't exactly meet the J1772 standard
Phil, if one already has their EVSE upgraded, what is the cost to get the programmable current feature added to it? Any details on how that works? Thanks!Ingineer said:We now have a new web site in operation, and I'm working on getting more details added and brought up to date. Hopefully we can get the new FAQ system operational soon.
