Diode is one thing but those cars will not charge at all. Do you know if Coulomb chargers (ChargePoint) do the diode check?
redLEAF said:Wow, I came close to going with the GE unit but it simply would have been a tight fit (where I needed to have it wall mounted) so opted for a much smaller (and less expensive) Schneider / Sq D which has performed flawlessly for the last 6 months. The GE is a looker but needs to get its act together, I'm sure they'll eventually get this right but a bad rap from Nissan will be hard to overcome easily.
From what I've been able to glean from the forum, the only ones that DON'T test are the AV unit, and the Nissan L1 EVSE. So the dealer will never detect a bad diode without specifically testing for it with something other than their EVSE. Certainly most (all?) of the public ones like ChargePoint and Blink do. Of the home units, I know that SPX, Coulomb, Blink, and apparently GE EVSEs do.Nubo said:...I'm curious as to which of the common L2 units does the diode test?
If the GE units were systematically damaging the LEAF I would think we would hear more of these troubles.davewill said:P.S. It was nice that the dealer fixed that woman's LEAF for free, but it would be better if someone held GE responsible for repairing a LEAF instead. You can bet they would quickly get their act together.
The problem being that nobody is likely to make that test and take the chance they'll be hung out to dry for an expensive repair. The only way to resolve it is for GE to get involved in one of these situations and prove/disprove the allegation.smkettner said:I would like to hear a LEAF that was repaired and went home and it failed again on the GE Wattstation.
Sounds more guilt by association. Dealers all well known for making up any story to blame the consumer.
