Hello guys. I imported there 2 mois my nissan Leaf SV 2014 in Africa in a country named Togo. Si I decided to post a series a tests I started to measure my range under certains conditions. My test number give the results : Range : 96,25 miles fully charged and one bar remaining with low...

Hehe you are right! :lol:

Thanks TimeLee. Yes it is. I leave 200 meters far from the sea but as I said, I imported this leaf from US. It may justify the mileage you see! for cost comparison, I used a BMW 530 Diesel V6 consuming around 50 USD a week on fuel usually. With the leaf, for the past two weeks, I charged one...

Thanks a lot! ;)

Thanks you guys for all wonderful comments. I give an update. I finally got the car out of customs. Runs 1 kilometer and it stops, the battery being completly dried! So I put the car on a trailer to my house far from 5 kilometers. Arrived home, I plugged it and it charged automatically! Was so...

Hi, I have this 25 A breaker installed already. Is the adjustment to 25 A + important for the charging time? thanks.

Thanks for the update. I will be fine with the 15A as long as it does not last the charging time at a complete discharge of the battery. I precise the car has the 6.6 KW charger and I hope the 220 V current will enable a raisonnable charging time! I will observe and measure the impacted phase...

Hello guys, A quick update! Unfortunately, the car is still under customs clearance. But yesterday, I brought the EVSE to make a try. I agree, the EVSE is an american made upgraded for international clients. So with my electrician, we plugged the EVSE on the L 6 30 receptacle (what a bloody...

Ok I see your concern. Let me explain you easily the system. 1) Baseline information of my house electricity system : 220 V 25 Amp in the counter/ not grounded monophased receptacles with 2 poles. 2) Home made built receptable : - first we had to solve the question about the receptacle : I...

It is possible it has been upgraded because the seller changed the 110 V car EVSE for this one capable of going with 220 V at my request. It is like the EVSE is for 20 A. I can confirm it : the car has the 6.6 kW charger! Do you think there is a risk the car not to charge? The 20 A breaker is...

Please find images attached for EVSE and home installatin prepared! :roll:

Dear thanks for your comments. Tony I hope you come back to West Africa I hope you enjoyed your stay! A quick update on the process. I will finally get the car out of custom office by Wednesday. I bought a Leviton NEMA L 6 30 Receptacle 250 V 30 A to receive the L6 30 P of the EVSE. With...

Hello guys. Good sunday. The leaf arrived safe with flat battery but no turtle mode. I could manage to drive it home. But my concerns remains. The seller gave me a L2 charger with is compatible with our 220 V here. The charger is a NEMA L6 30P with 3 pins but it can not be plug directly in the...
