    6.6kw charger on 2013 nissan leaf model S?!

    So I attempted this swap, and it is a good upgrade to a 6.6kw L2 charger, but the chademo on a S trim is persnickety as Nissan failed to include the needed logic connectors in the wiring harness to actuate the chademo port protocols.

    how is cooling air ducted around the leafs battery; ideas for augmented cooling
