Should I install a charging station (such as ChargePoint of JuiceBox) in my garage or just keep using the existing 220V outlet that is already there with the charging cable that came with the LEAF SL Plus 62 kWh battery?
I had an electrician (who has installed many charging stations) check the voltage, amps, etc. and he said it is fine.
Note - we are retired and probably will drive the LEAF 8k miles a year. Rarely run the battery below 50%.
Thanks!
EDIT - This is NOT A DRYER OUTLET - I STATED THE ELECTICIAN CHECKED THE AMPS - HE HAS INSTALLED MANY CHARGING STATIONS. It was an existing 50 amp welder outlet, I had the electrician rewire and install the NEMA-LEAF compatible outlet. Thanks for the information on extending the battery life, VERY HELPFUL. Cheers!
