No problem. It doesn't need the neutral wire. arnold

IIRC the 2011/2012 LEAF only charged at at a maximum of 12A even if the pilot advertised more amps at 120V. Don't know if this was changed for newer LEAFs (a quick search suggests that they work at higher amperage levels). Clearly some chargers are making assumptions in limiting the charge...

I just saw a picture of EVSE cord that made me shudder so I giving this thread a kick to get few more people to see it. Here are a couple of more YouTube videos on using "over under" to avoid wrecking cables: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-74OEVUOKOw" onclick="window.open(this.href);return...

Yes but it won't be cheap. I acquired a CT-500 and looked at getting network support for it (for stats). The cost was not worth it. I don't remember off hand the costs and I can't find them in quick search (might have been verbal only). A big part of the problem is that the early CP hardware...

No. cf. QueenBee. arnold

I backed it to solve a couple of problems: a) get a better SOC meter for my 2012 RAV4-EV b) get data from our 2011 LEAF when my wife drives it (she's the primary driver). Check out the latest update...

Our LEAF is normally driven by my wife. Requiring her to run LEAFspy (which I own) every time does not pass the WAF test. I want more data. I want something better than Carwings, I also own another EV (2012 RAV4-EV). The logging feature is probably the most interesting to me. I've backed...

Soldering is often NOT the answer to making connections more vibration resistant. I'm assuming you are talking wires undergo some mechanical stress/flex. Brittle connections are not more robust. Notice that wiring harnesses and connectors in your car are crimped not not soldered. You will...

FWIW I have a Blink with seemingly identical REMA nozzles. When I got a 2012 RAV4-EV I did some test charges with the Blink and found significant temperature rise on both current conducting pins. When I reported this to Blink they had someone come out to replace nozzle/cord set. I've only...

We own a 2011 LEAF and I replaced a 2002 RAV4-EV with 2012 RAV4-EV and I generally agree with cossie1600. For me there is one crucial (but huge) difference, the battery size. Once you've driven with a bigger battery it is hard to go back. I love the LEAF, I like the fact it is more efficient...

Diode busted in the LEAF? I recall that some EVSE didn't check for it so you might not notice it is busted until you try an EVSE that cared. arnold

Yes to both. arnold

Install enough wiring so that you can install rear seat heaters as well if you want to without having to fish power cables again. FYI the round switches are better for rears since they smaller and we have already figured out a place to fit them on the back of the center console. arnold

Check with your EVSE vendor to make sure that you don't have a defective nozzle. There are known cases where nozzles are defective and cause excessive heating at higher current draws which should not have been a problem. http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=10749"...

I recall that Valery saying they went to a 80A relay in the final design. This was in response to question about UL certification (which he answered by saying all the components are UL listed). He indicated that some kind of certification would be possible in the future and they had tried to...

If you are going to install new wiring already then I wouldn't go with a dryer outlet. Tony is correct, the correct limit for a 30A circuit is 24A. This 80% of rating for some things (but not everything) is really confusing. I would suggest pulling at least #8 wire so you can have 40A breaker...

FYI, you can order a fully assembled juicebox. Of course you still have to wait for them to start shipping. I just looked it up and discovered that SV does come with 6 kW charger. If the OP wants to charge at the full rate that the 6 kW charger is capable of then they will need an EVSE that...

FYI the Kickstarter was successful. They did end up adding a GFCI option to their base kit in the Kickstarter project (additional cost). Their online store for preorders only has two flavors, a base and deluxe version and both have GFCI functionality. I backed the project at the deluxe kit...

For output, http://www.emotorwerks.com/products/online-store/product/show/38-j1772-plug-wire-8-meters" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is correct (you could also choose the shorter one). For input, it is up to you as long as it matches your needs. For example if you use an L6-30...

You can never be 100% sure. Some spammers do use "dictionaries" to guess at email addresses but in general it's not a good strategy because modern anti-spam systems will end up blocking sender. It's pretty clear today that best way to get email addresses to spam is to compromise databases and...
