For an update: Bosch replaced my Power Max 30a 18' cord model with a 25' model last week. It was a very fast service call and I was back up and charging in no time. I did notice that the cord and the J1772 plug end are different. The cable is thicker and the plug end is more rugged and weather...

Bosch did the install on my unit. It's on 40A breakers. I don't know of anyone else local to the Detroit Metro Area where I can try another Bosch unit. My 2013 LEAF charges fine on any other Level 2 in the area. Also, now the Power Max unit blinks red even if the car isn't plugged in. Before it...

An update on my Power Max 30A with the 18' cord..... After 3 months of use it's dead. When I plug in my LEAF, I can hear the relays in the unit click like normal, it flashes green for a sec, then I get red flashing. I called Bosch's tech support line and before they would send a technician out...

The Bosch Power Max 30A is working great so far. The unit appears to be plenty weather proof as we have had several bad thunderstorms since it was installed. No issues, still charging Level 2 6.6k+ rate. They installed it on a 240v 40a feed from the separate meter. That may be why the LEAF is...

Got home today after running errands. Plugged into the Bosch Power Max 30A and my LEAF said 3hrs to full on 6.6k. I started the stopwatch app on my iPhone and the car is done after only 2:20! This leads me to ask the same question as before, can the 2013 LEAF charge at 7.2k rates? With certain...

Here's my 2013 LEAF after I dropped off a customers guitar I just finished repairing. This is at the Nissan Technical Center North America here in Farmington Hills Michigan. I am using the ONLY 440v DC quick charger anywhere in Michigan. LOL Wish there were more of these around. Mike R

Here's mine. A Bosch Power Max 30A Level 2 EVSE with the 18' cord. I would have preferred it being mounted in the Garage but that space is my wood working shop. Mike R

OK, Triton Electric just finished installing my Bosch Power Max 30A Level 2 EVSE. Here are the photos. I will post a review once I have used the station enough to get a good impression. It seems pretty sturdy considering it's plastic construction. The wall bracket is very secure. The...

Are you calling Bosch directly for information about the unit? http://www.pluginnow.com/how-order" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I was told Bosch sells the Power Max units via two methods. 1) Directly from Bosch. In this case they work with approved installers in your area and...

Yay!!!! My unit finally arrived and the install date is 8:00am on Aug 28th! I guess Bosch took a bunch of orders before they were really ready to ship these units so there were a lot of delays. I am getting the Power Max 30A with the 18ft cord. Thanks to the local utility company here in...

Still waiting on my unit. I now have no idea when it will actually ship. Everything else is taken care of just waiting for Bosch to ship. UGH! Mike R

I only started this thread because over the past week I drove from Saint Clair Shores Michigan to Dayton / Beavercreek Ohio and back. I made stops to charge along the way at mostly Nissan dealers with the Aerovironment Nissan branded Level 2 stations. I was trying to understand how my LEAF would...

Just a quick question, any 2013 LEAF owners seeing higher than 6.6k charge rates? I am on the return leg of a 460 mile round trip and I have noticed while charging on my trip, my 2013 LEAF charges much faster than the times calculated by the car when connected to some 6.6k Level 2 charge...

I ordered one also. The Bosch Power Max 30A Level 2 EVSE with 18 ft cord. I was told that they will arrive at the local Bosch Automotive (local to me anyway) on July 26th. Then I will be able to schedule an install date. I'll post photos and do a quick review once it's installed. Cheers! Mike R

IMHO The Guess-o-Meter Bars are HIGHLY dependent on your average Miles per Kw/Hr from the previous trips. If you compare that (in the 2013 Leaf) to the State of Charge meter, you can begin to understand what each segment of the GOM is trying to represent. Somehow Nissan thought that the segments...

I have had my Pearl White 2013 Leaf SV for almost 2 weeks now and I haven't seen another in the Saint Clair Shores area of the Detroit Metro Area (other than the Red SV the dealer has). Then yesterday I saw a blue one buzzing down the road. Anyone else in the Metro area have a Leaf? I can tell...

I am self employed and run a small Guitar repair, restoration, custom shop in the Detroit Metro area http://www.renchguitarwerks.com. I got my 2013 Leaf to use for my business. The ability to lease the Leaf at a great rate, plus the reduced operating costs allows me to offer free pickup &...

I officially took delivery on my 2013 Nissan Leaf SV. It's pearl white with the quick charge / LED headlight package. My wife works for a Nissan vendor supplier so we got VPP price on a 2yr lease. $212 a month! We live in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan and I don't see too many Leafs. It really...
