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

Actual list of possible setups for Accelev: Source: 3F 400V using 2-phases 5.0 kW (11,5A per phase) Source: 3F 400V using 2-phases 6.0 kW (14,0A per phase) Source: 3F 400V using 3-phases 8.0 kW (11,5A per phase) Source: 3F 230V using 3-phases 8.0 kW (11,5A per phase) Norway special...

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

About using 30kWh battery in 24kWh Leaf: this is possible, but CAN-CAN converter is needed to translate communications to simulate 24kWh battery in 24kWh car. About range with LeafBox - this depends on driver. If I assume my wife as "not educated driver" that does not care on coasting etc...

Yes, I know US power schema for houses and I think this solution is good for EU and other areas, where residential power for houses bases on 3 phase 14,5A or similar (3x16A fusing). EU onboard chargers are limited to 15A each, 230V, US chargers are limited to 15A (first) and 12.5A (second, if...

This is my last project - 4.4-4.8kW 2-phase Type1 portable electric car charger at your home - without special 32A power lines... It uses 3phase power connection to generate one "superphase" and charge Type1 cars (Leaf). 2 phases are loaded equally. It also has a special mode for battery safe...

Please opinion: I decided to add two functions to our 4.8kW 2-phase Type1 charger. Do you like them? 1. switch with 2 positions - "TOP UP" and "FULL". When "TOP UP" is on, charger charges till car stops charging. When "FULL" is on, charger charges till current drops below 6A (about 95% of charge...

This is how it finally looks like (4.8 kW version, 2-phase) Type 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuLg_0dPOF4 I still test it in normal mode 16.0A x 240V = 3,84 kW, then I will test a BOOST mode: 20A x 240V = 4,8 kW with Leaf and Tesla. You connect it to any 3-phase socket (16A or 32A). It...
