2013 leaf 6.6kw

[kmp647]

Can anyone tell me how many amps the 2013 Leaf might draw on a 240v level 2 evse such as the aeroviroment unit when its hooked up to a residential 240v circuit and drawing max current?

I know its a guess and or a simple calculation and should be simple........

 

[EdmondLeaf]

My guess is 32A
3.3kWh = 3.84kWh than assuming same efficiency 6.6kWh = 7.67kWh

3.3kWh = 3.84kWh than assuming same efficiency 6.6kWh = 7.67kWh

Is this 86% efficiency wall to battery or wall to wheels?

wall to battery

About 27.5 A

6.6kwh = 6600 watts

6600 watts / 240 volts = 27.5 amps

It would be logical to keep the amperage at 30 amps or less because there are a lot of EVSE out there rated at 30 amps max. The GE Wattstation that I use is a good example of this.

I am hoping the 27.5 amp is the correct answer
I have a 30amp breaker on #10 wire !

 

[kmp647]

guess I have crazy ideas about flipping into a 2013 ?????

prob not but I can dream

EVSE should be limiting Leaf to 24 amps.

EVSE should be limiting Leaf to 24 amps.

so the 6.6 kWh charger will be in fact 5.76 kWh charger?

No. I believe he was referring to the fact that one of the few functions of an EVSE is to tell a car how much it can draw.

 

[TomT]

I don't think so. Since the 3.3 draws 16 amps, it only makes sense that the 6.6 can draw 32. However, since many EVSEs have a 30 amp limit, the pilot signal will likely derate it slightly on those units. Some EVSEs (Blink, for example) also let you set the maximum current so if you were on a 20amp circuit and had such a unit, you could set it to only allow a maximum of a 20 amp charge rate... The pilot signal in the EVSE tells the car the maximum it is allowed to draw.

so the 6.6 kWh charger will be in fact 5.76 kWh charger?

Some EVSE units may be adjustable; in fact, the SPX can be adjusted from 16 A up to 32 A. Precautions must be taken in regards to the breaker rating, wire gauge, length of the circuit and wall receptacle. Ask your electrician.

Any idea what kind of charger FFE and Coda have?

 

[TomT]

Both are 6.6Kw.

[EdmondLeaf]

Both are 6.6Kw.

Any idea what kind of charger FFE and Coda have?

to the battery or wall draw?

 

[TomT]

To the battery, I believe...

[EdmondLeaf]

If I am correct FFE Leviton evse is 30A rated, so continuous draw should be 85% which is 25.5A, is that right?

 

[kmp647]

I know my evse isnt set up quite right, its an aero viro RS Nissan branded unit designed for a 40amp breaker

its on a 30a breaker with #10 wire

kinda wondering what would happen on a Focus or a 2013 leaf hooked to it

guess we could check with someone who has a coda, or a focus ev and a ted or some measuring device

course yeah if the Ford approved Leviton unit goes on a 30amp breaker......

 

[kmp647]

I think if it comes down to it I can install a 40a breaker on the circuit and be ok

#10 wire is the min and #8 would be better

but it should be fine.
Ford and Leviton say the car can draw 32amps if thats correct I would think the 2013 Leaf might pull 32a also
I think
