No security AFAICT.
Some kind of lanyard might be the simplest solution.

... Or an alert system wired into the car security...? Not sure if the hood has a sensor like back in the "good ol days".
I did notice that the bottom of the adapter was getting warm after a session... and most of these test sessions were brief. That's something I should keep an eye on. A WiFi/BT or LTE remote sensor bonded to the adapter might be the solution.

Red-E charger got to ~60kW before the Leaf started the taper. Might deliver more if the battery has lower initial SoC.

Part of the goal of this topic is to let potential users know what they might encounter if they make this purchase.
Here are the English pages from the pamphlet. (Other side is Chinese).
I was feeling lazy and didn't fire up the scanner. They all seem legible.

Looks like in the Detroit area, it about .08cents/kwh, Calif its like .50/kwh

Delta/GM at the Flying J truck stop connected quickly using the EVgo payment card.

Swanky!
Low charge rate likely due to arriving at the station already 80% charged.

If you zoom up on his screen shot, they charge $0.00/session + $0.56/kWh before tax.

~ .50/kWh is typical... there are some ~.30/kWh, but few and far between.

That's beautiful. Haven't yet seen any sheltered EV quick charging in my part of the world.

Very interesting results. Have you kept track of battery temperatures with Leafspy after charging at levels above 50 kW? I've noticed with the A2Z CCS1 to CHAdeMO adapter that battery temperature goes up fairly fast at higher than 50 kW charging levels.

I concur that 50kW is the "safer" level... I have observed similar rises in temperature, but I haven't logged it. I've been doing brief hit & run tests to validate handshake and power levels.
I plan to do a 20% - 90% charge, once I get a scenario where the battery is sufficiently depleted. (My typical round trip commute is ~100miles.)
Next on the list is active cooling on the battery exterior to reduce the rapidgate issue. I can see the value in pre-cooling the battery before the first charge and continuous cooling after that.
Until a viable cooling method is found, it does raise the issue of how to restrict the power level at a DCFC, which I don't see a way, other than selecting chargers deemed "slower" (50 - 150 kW).
I'll be happy with fast charging that gets me 550mi without running into the red zone or taking >1hr each charge.

It would be useful for the user of the adapter to be able to dial back the charge rate, especially for older Leafs.

Hmm. I've never seen my Leaf draw more than 45 kW at a ChaDeMo station, and it's usually a lot less. I assume that the car is limiting the power into the battery pack, based on temperature, SOC, etc.
Yet, several of the above comments seem to imply that when connected to a high-power CCS charger via the adapter, the car will sometimes draw much more than 50 kW. I cannot fathom a theory of operation that would jibe with both of these observations. Can somebody explain further?

I have not experienced charging faster that 73kW.

Nissan Intelligent Power: increased range and performance
The Nissan LEAF PLUS, a new version of the Nissan LEAF’s revolutionary electric powertrain, delivers excellent energy efficiency and robust torque and power output. With its EPA range of up to 226 miles1, the Nissan LEAF PLUS allows customers the ability to do more between charges.
The new powertrain also allows faster acceleration when driving at high speeds. Accelerating from 50 mph to 75 mph is nearly 13 percent quicker than the standard Nissan LEAF. This allows the Nissan LEAF PLUS to confidently pass slower-moving vehicles, exit corners faster and more seamlessly, and merge easily with fast-moving traffic. The top speed has increased by approximately 10 percent for comfortable cruising.
In addition, thanks a standard new 100kW capacity quick charging system, the 2019 Nissan LEAF PLUS can charge more efficiently.

"In addition, thanks a standard new 100kW capacity quick charging system"So you got just one job--issue a press release.
1. Proof read it to make sure the grammar is correct.
2. Don't make false claims about DCQC.

Aren't we mostly talking about a difference between peak and continuous (or maybe average) power that can be handled during a charging session?
That ambiguity isn't unique to the Leaf's specifications and claims. At least a couple of the nearby stations I've seen delivering 70+ for limited periods (both through this adapter and through CHAdeMO directly) are themselves labeled as 50kW.
