...I think they're concerned with PO'd EVSE suppliers complaining that "these Leaf guys keep upgrading their (free) units to 240v instead of buying ours"! I wouldn't be surprised if this new unit can NOT be upgraded (to 240v) in a similar fashion. That ship may have sailed...
Assuming that the US LEAF gets the same new (smaller) unit like the Japan brochure shows, it may be the same unit that now comes with the new Toyota RAV4EV. EVSEupgrade already upgraded at least one of those to do 240V, so I think it is possible. I heard that it wasn't "up to snuff" to do 16A though, so stuck at 12A.
