Okay, I found the Japanese plug top in the bin and had to cut it apart (it is completely solid with rubbery plastic filling every void) but managed to find the thermistor. It was in the centre between the three pins, and as close to the face of the plug top as possible, which makes sense if it...

Ah, sorry, you're right. It is a ZE1 made in 2018 with a 40kWh battery. We have been considering that. But we aren't sure how much longer we will be in this house, maybe two years. And by my calculations, we should be able to easily recharge the car with about two night charges every 5 days...

The control box says it is 15A, 200V AC, 50/60Hz. Australian voltage is apparently 240V, but others who imported Leafs from Japan who I've talked to haven't had any problems using the Japanese cables to charge in Australia.

Thank you for your replies. Talked to the electrician and he confirmed there was another wire and he didn't know what it was for so didn't do anything with it (he couldn't find a temperature sensor in the Japanese plug top, and he opened it up to look). On further investigation, some people...

I got an electrician to change my level 1 charger from Japanese pins to 15amp Australian pins to make charging more convenient. It charges, but much slower than I expected. Eg, After a few hours charging I was expecting about 6% an hour from the 15 amp socket, and instead got about 3.8%. The...

Every time I turn on my ZE1 it asks me if I want voice recognition for the USB device and every time I have to press "no". Is there a way to stop it from asking every single time? I use USB flash drives instead of CDs for music, so I always have one plugged in. It is just a bother to have to...
