About the only thing I have not done at this point is to replace the (dedicated) breaker for that plug. I checked/redid the connections on both ends, no difference. The GFCI change out made no difference so that was not it either. I charged it all day today and it never faulted once. It seems...

I need to take another look at the ZenCar charger. It is actually appealing. I would either have to use adapters and knock down the charge current, or change the outlets on both ends (home and work). I am considering it so thanks for pointing it out. So, the new unit faulted as well. Same...

So to follow up, I am returning the EVSE to Amazon and getting another one. There seems to be other instances of the Duosida EVSEs doing what mine is doing. I'll let you know how it works out after I use it a few times to verify that the fault is gone. By the way, be careful who you purchase...

I was also wondering about large appliances like the stove, clothes dryers, water heaters etc. We do have a BIG well pump since it is about 800 feet below grade (no kidding). It is 3 HP IIRC. I have a dedicated transformer, and it is oversized, so that should be OK. No radio towers nearby...

I have not observed it directly, no. It is hard to know when it will happen. No I don't use the charge timer so it starts right away. Tension on the plug is about the same at work or home. I considered that one but don't think that's it. Power at work is 208V (tapped from two phases)...

I'm still trying to figure this problem out. The power company did not find anything unusual on my electrical feed based on a week of recording data at the meter and on both branches of the house wiring. I am still getting charging faults. It's frustrating when I come out to drive somewhere...

Good question. I had verified that the charging timer is off. I will try that next. Good idea. I did that a few times today and there are no errors related to the charging. There are some codes from the removal of the Bose stereo, and the still-not-working Nissan Connect unit, but I knew...

OK so there is no neutral at the plug on the house side of the EVSE. Even though it is 240V, it is a three-prong plug (leg-leg-ground) which is the way the Duosida EVSE comes. Checking ground with respect to neutral, at the breaker panel (load center) and at several different outlets in the...

OK I have read through some of the threads here and have not found a discussion on this exact issue I am having. So I am posting this thread in the hope that someone here has seen something similar. Background: 2015 Leaf SV Duosida EVSE L2 Charger, 240V 16A Charging via 220VAC (60 Hz)...

Another update - SUCCESS!!! The Bose amp is out of the car completely and everything is running from the head unit and the DSP/amps I added. Some details: - The output from the STOCK head unit (originally connected to the Bose amp) works great as the input into the DSP. I am using the two...

No I have not tested the outputs yet, but if they are speaker level outputs AND differential signals that is good for noise immunity. That integrated Focal setup is nice. I had not seen that one before. You won't be able to independently time align the front speakers (door versus a-pillar)...

Note that I have cut out the plastic vapor barrier and covered all of the holes in the door panel with the soundproofing material. This isolates the back wave of the speaker from the cab and provides some significant sound damping. In the areas where the holes in the door panel are large, I...

More progress over the weekend. I have removed the Bose door speakers from both front doors, salvaged their frames for reuse (as noted previously), epoxied them to the Tang Bands, added sound damping material to both doors, and installed the new drivers. Everything went smoothly. Here is the...

More progress today... So I had heard about how cheaply made the Bose drivers were, and after seeing them for myself, yeah, they are pretty cheap. Plastic baskets (not always bad, but not impressed with these), really thin paper cone, very thin rubber surround, small voice coil, puny magnets...

Here is the 4-channel amplifier and the C-DSP 6x8 installed on the mounting plate. This will be placed in a hidden spot in the car. https://photos.app.goo.gl/bvkaoV9mJvHimzx73

Another follow-up... I think this may be known to others in this forum, but one thing about the Bose system is that the signal to the Bose subwoofer is tied to the rear speakers and changes with the fader. So, if you completely fade forward, then the signal to the subwoofer is close to...

For now I am only going to run five channels: LR bass in doors LR midrange/tweeters in a-pillars Subwoofer in hatch With good time alignment, the imaging will be as good or better than it would be with a center channel, albeit only for one person at a time. Since 99% of the time I am the only...

So I have ordered the C-DSP 6X8 processor and am working on something different for the above dash speakers (front sound stage). More details coming once I have some more work completed.

First of all, thanks for the detailed information. My experience: I just tinted all the windows, including the windshield, with the 3M ceramic tint on my 2015 Leaf. The back and rear side windows are dark but usable, the front side windows are at the legal limit, and the front windshield is...

I am seriously considering the same modification (tires for sure, shocks maybe) and am wondering what your efficiency numbers look like. Even if it loses a little, say less than 10%, I would not be dissuaded. If it gains range, bonus. BTW I also like the larger tire diameter. My speedometer...
