I am considering buying a LEAF, now that there are some used 2013s coming online with the 6kW charger. And I'm even considering doing some fairly longish trips in it and having it as my only car. When I absolutely need to be somewhere in a jiffy, I'll simply fly (a packed flight is less carbon intense than a 30mpg rental, after all).
Getting on with my question, I am very concerned that I can't tell if any particular L2 charger in the wild is 3kW or 6kW. QCs are great, but in the L2 wilds twixt the QC utopias, the difference between a 3kW L2 and a 6kW L2 is the difference between getting some work done in the car or at a cafe while waiting and springing for a hotel room.
It looks like plugshare is the best charging map site (with good status updates from members), but the users still don't let us know what kind of kW/charging speed they get when they check in. To me, it seems like kW is the most important stat to be kept up with.
Tell me I'm wrong to worry and that most every L2 is 6kw. Pleeease? Alternatively, give me a site to go to where they keep track of such things, or some clues to determine which L2s are 6kW when they don't explicitly say.
Hopefully road trippin,
Anderlan
