Just got our Leaf and right now 110v is the only charging option we have at home. Our laundry room is on the 2nd floor, so the outlet is not exactly close to the car!
We need to install a 220v/240v outlet in the garage and have the optimal location already picked out. A 24' cord will provide access to 2 parking spots on our driveway, as well as 3 parking spaces inside the garage.
The charging cable style J1772 that came with our LEAF HAS A 3-PRONG 110v plug.
Can we just buy a charging cable that is J1772 on one end and a 220v plug on the other...and then plug it in to the new outlet the electrician installs?
Do we NEED a "box" on the wall just to accomplish this?
If not...what is the benefit to having a box (I assume it's hardwired) onto the wall?
Thanks!
I couldn't find any other threads that addressed this.
