Update: I replaced the LV transformer with an oversized, 230V rated one (dangling outside the EVSE box, yay safety!), and measured the current on the 18VAC output from the transformer. When not connected to the car, the transformer is drawing 70mA RMS. When connected to the car but not...

@JeremyW, @ExpensiveLettuce, I agree with your comments, and yes, running over rated voltage is likely hard on the transformer. My biggest problem with it is that my car's blown multiple EVSE's in a fairly short period of time, and there seems to be no local knowledge of any of the other 100...

No, it's rated 200V, 15A. Japan runs both 100V and 200V domestic supply. It's a little over rated voltage when used at 230V, but using the 200V JDM charger and just changing out the plug for a NZ one is the standard approach here, and it doesn't seem to have caused a general problem. Almost...

I have a 2012 Leaf which has now blown up 3 EVSEs. The car is an ex-Japan grey-market import and I'm using it in NZ (a 230V 50Hz country). Two of the EVSEs are the stock JDM Nissan plug-in 12A one, and the third is a locally sourced 6A one. The first died a few months ago, the second a couple of...
