Hello again
As you probably know, this is my Leaf:
Used, bought on Oct. 7, 2016
2012 Leaf SL
48000 km
Still all the bars of the battery: 132 km claimed range (in ECO mode) when 100% full.
I'm a little confused about the difference between "on board" charger and the actual charging "cable" with that heavy rectangular thing I connect in any normal house power plug and use to recharge the car.
• Are we talking about the same thing? Or with "on board" they mean something integrated/stuck in the car body?
• How do I understand if I have a 3.3 KW or a 6.6 KW charger?
My Leaf says it charges to 100% in 16 hours on the normal house outlet.
• Any recommendation about what to do? Any special advice from you guys who have much longer experience with Leafs?
• Buy the upgraded 240v portable charger to replace the current one?
• Can I replace the "on board" 3.3 KW with a 6.6 KW charger? (whatever it is, wherever it is)
• How much would I pay, including labour (approximately)?
• Is it worth it?
• Any further advice?
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!
