I have finished a new software mod for Nissan Leaf Gen1 (24, 30kWh). It delivers One Pedal Drive in mode D, astonishing 40+kW regen till full stop, 90kW (122 hp) power and 300 Nm (+30Nm more torque). Feel like owning a new Nissan Leaf Gen2, with improved regen even in cold winter, till the full...

The only simple solution is to discharge Leaf fully (till zero, killing the rest of energy by the heater) and then to use a pulse balance algorithm (available, for example, at any evtun.com charger). In most cases, it helps, but the gain is not huge. My father's car (2016, 30kWh) gained +2,8...

It monitors the voltage for sure and also behaviour of the grid while starting of load (when current increases). This is named SOP (State of Power). More tech here https://evtun.com/chargers/sop-health-of-your-home-grid.html

A test of Grid Monitoring used in Accelev https://www.facebook.com/EVSEChargerAccelev/ Car loads with a max speed of 16A, as the breaker is 16A. Then I start a water kettle (2000W) - once with Grid Monitoring at charger is on the second time - off. I restart charging, as charger needs 1 minute...

I have updated a concept of SOP and added it to the main screen of Accelev EVSE electric car charger. It looks now like this: Also, the final method of calculating is below: The SOP is State of Power (similar to SOC - state of charge, SOH - state of health). It is displayed at the main...

I have added SOP (state of power) testing and RCD type B for maximum protection. I hope looks ok.

SOP (State of Power) is a new parameter, calculated and monitored by our electric car chargers (Accelev), starting from 2.12 firmware (update your charger to see SOP). SOP is intended to be a piece of information about energy grid delivery quality. Technically SOP depends on the internal...

Huh, my wifey hiper-duper-hairdryer does not trip our fuses anymore :) Grid Monitoring = Load Detection & Speed Lowering. How does it work? A simple example with water kettle fighting for power against my Accelev 2phase->1phase charger. The kettle is connected to one of the power phases. Using...

Also, our Swedish distributor made this film. For those, who understand that magic language (Swedish) - it may be helpful. https://youtu.be/kq28Dg4svhg

We have finished new version of Accelev - v2. Accelev v2 EVSE is a processor-controlled, advanced AC wall box with features not available in other chargers. Beside of grid monitoring (power shedding) and BatteryCare™ unique charging modes it gives an opportunity to equally load 2 phases...

https://youtu.be/iwb6DHYauCA This is a test of 2-phase 6kW charger (with my Wife's Leaf 30kWh) - real speed at input is 5,8 kW/h. Of course you need 3-phase power at home, but every phase (of two used) is loaded with about 13A, so no problem with fuses.

Ok, I will do that tommorow.

Please help me and verify table of EV cars with plug types, powers, phases count etc. http://evtun.com/chargers/accelerate-your-home-charging-home-charging-explained.html

My longest single charge trip was 273 km (170 miles), with 30kWh Leaf and 205 km (128 miles) with 24 kWh Leaf, both with http://evtun.com/leafbox.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V39Gd8WU9-s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIluWP_waUs
