Or rumors or facts. I don't really care if the battery is bigger than 40 KWH but an 8 or 9 K charger would be cool.

I am happy with my 30 amp 240 v charger at this point. Even if my next car went to 50 or 60 KW battery, I would only need to charge for 4 hours or so??
powersurge said:All of this technology speculation for the Leaf batteries and chargers reminds me of the early days of computers.
First there were Dial-up 300 Baud modems, then 600, 1200, and then 14.4K Baud modems.. If you tried to keep up the ever increasing capacity of computer equipment, you spent TONS of money... I certainly did!! However, I have vowed not to do that with the Leaf. I have one now, it serves my needs, and will try to not spend again for a decade... Cross my fingers...

Yep. When they have the single vs. dual OBC options, all Tesla (and Tesla powered vehicles like the Rav4 EV and Merc B-Class ED) came with a single "10 kW" OBC (40 amps so really 9.6 kW when you do 240 volts * 40 amps). They let you add a 2nd "10 kW" OBC for 80 amps.jlv said:The Tesla Model S comes standard with a 48A onboard charger, and still has a optional upgrade to a 72A charger (see the High Amperage Charger Upgrade at https://www.tesla.com/models/design). The "mobile connector" supplied with the car can charge at 40A (when connected via a NEMA 14-50). Prior to this option, they used to have an option that had dual onboard chargers, but still only 1 charging connection on the car. You can still order the dual charger if you have an older car.
