New member looking for a leaf

[Lizcoles66]

Thank you for the warm welcome. I am looking to buy a second hand leaf. From 2018 to 2021. As big a battery as possible. I’ve looked at autotrader and EBay. Facebook marketplace seems to be full of scams, some really cheap cars there!
We (my husband) own a plug in Mitsubishi Outlander, but I want a smaller car and the Leaf looks fine. we have a dedicated charger which is a type 1…..am I right in assuming that the Leaf is a type 2 charger, and there is an adapter from 1 to 2?
With the British Gas ‘ElectricDriverOct24’ tariff it’s cheap at night to charge. The solar panels and storage battery work well too.
Live in Weston Super Mare, so if anyone knows of one for sale nearby please let me know. Looking forward to reading all the forums to understand better.

I assume that you are located in the UK? If so, it is correct that Leaf 2018-> has a Type 2-charging port. Most users here are based in the US where Leaf has always had Type 1 (US don't use Type 2).

There is adapters available, an example here: https://evonestop.co.uk/products/newstyle-type-1-to-type-2-adapter-converter
