The price is the same as standard 4KWH and 8KWH kits ($3495 and $5495 respectively)

Please explain how I could charge without a separate plug while DC charging. Just saying "not needed" doesn't answer that. I need it.
ztanos said:Isn't the battery "considered" one battery after the expansion? So charging it on DC will be charging both batteries? Or did I read something wrong?
Does that mean that with your modification the car will pull more than 240V/16A? Or does it share the available current with the onboard charger? What about when charging on L1 120V/12A?chenyj said:Our 48V pack has a separate charging that takes 240V from the existing J1772 port. When you charge the Leaf, you will charge the Enginer aux pack as well.

Yes, that is correct. The total current will be 21A @ 240V or 22A @ 120V

The current leaf will ask for no more than 16amps because it only has a 3.3kw charger. Your add on battery pack has it's own charger which will cause the car to request 21Amps - 16Amps for the OEM Leaf, and an additional 5Amps for your add on battery.
What about L-3 DC charging?

The charging station will inform the vehicle the maximum current that the vehicle can draw from the charging station. The vehicle does NOT ask for maximum current in level 2 standard. In Level 3 charging, the vehicle will ask for constant current level. So just make sure the charging station or outlet can supply sufficient current for both chargers. We tested the kit and there is no issue with that.

We don't accept fast DC charging for the auxiliary pack.

That's not what I'm asking for. I want to DC charge the LEAF battery, while charging your battery on J1772.
N952JL said:So the L-3 DC QC chargers going in will only charge the OEM pack, not the depleted aux pack. Correct??
N952JL said:this gives me hope for the future. GM CEO recently talked about a new battery in the testing stage which might be out in 3 years. It boost the battery to 400+kwh/g while the current leaf is somewhere around 100kwh/g.
