I have one of these at one of my jobs:

Will that work to charge my Leaf? I can't figure it out.

Thanks!
 
That won't work to charge your LEAF without an adapter or an upgrade.

The ICS-200 charging station is the old year 2001 J1772-2001 standard Avcon connector:

Current and future production EVs, like the LEAF need the new year 2009 J1772-2009 standard:

It's possible for several hundred dollars that existing ICS-200 charging station can be retrofitted / upgraded to the newer J1772-2009 connector since J1772-2001 is electrically compatible with J1772-2009.

If this site is on charger map, please post the URL to the location. There's some funded efforts to convert hundreds of the Avcon J1772-2001 stations to the current J1772-2009 LEAF compatible connector. I don't know which ones they've identified for upgrades, and it won't be all of them. Even if yours isn't part of the planned upgrades, we might get it upgraded independently anyway.
