The fixed-installation 240v EVSE is NOT satisfactory. A PORTABLE, plug-in version is needed.
Without the plug-in feature, we are ignoring the millions of ALREADY-EXISTING 240v (30 and 50 amp) plugin sockets already available: the dryer socket in most homes, the sockets at RV parks, and the many available at most businesses.
NOT using this HUGE existing infrastructure is ... totally STUPID!
RIGHT NOW, we need to tell Nissan, local building departments, and legislators that we DENAND the right to plug-in. If we did not understand and accept that there are safety issues with fueling, we would not fuel our gas cars.
So, BEFORE you put money down or pay for a Leaf, demand a 240v plug-in EVSE that can work at AT LEAST the popular 15, 30, and 50-amp sockets.
If we ACT NOW, there is still time for new federal electrical-use laws to be introduced and passed. There is also time for Nissan to offer us a portable, plugin, amp-adjustable, 240v EVSE.
Email and chat with Nissan NOW, and tell every dealer that it will be a condition of sale.
