Hi @macgeeknz, the picture you sent is for a 6.6 kW. Mine is a 3.3 kW. May be the location of the label is different. Will it be possible to check that for a 3.3 kW JDM please?
Thank you!

Thank you!
@coulomb, @Steve52, @SageBrush, @cornbinder89:
Do you know someone who has a 3.3 kW JDM and who can send me a picture of where is label is situated? The label contains information like the input voltage, input power....
Thank you in advance guys!

The label is behind the loom that is held in by the cadmium plated bracket & bolt in your 2nd photo .....
Hi Toby,
Thanks a lot. However, what do you mean by loom? Have you got a picture where you have the label?
Have you ever seen it on a 3.3kW Nissan Leaf?
Hi Shameem
The term loom means "wiring harness", see here [1]
The location for the 3.3KVA PDM & OBC label is the same. Below are three photos illustrating it from a MY17 JDM AEZ0.
I've also posted a video for you at [2].

Yeah that's very clear. Will try to just move the loom a bit to see if I can find it.
Thanks again for this video.
Cheers
To note that mine is the second generation Leaf, so it is a bit different...will still check

@macgeeknz, @jjeff, @TobyHolland : searched for the label...didn't see any...Nothing behind the loom...and anywhere else.
Really don't know where to find it.

I'm not sure exactly who this was directed at, but the photos I supplied were from model year 2017 and 2018 (AZE0 and ZE1 respectively). Both from Japan.
The 1st generation Leaf motor stack looks quite different and I haven't seen any photos of it in this thread. An example photo of gen 1 is available at this link for comparison:

Thanks @macgeeknz. Got your point. Your are not the only one saying that. But no one and even me, up to now, has not been able to show me or found where is the OBC specifications written. I would like to charge it directly from the main supply (therefore assuming the OBC allows 240V) without going through the step-down transformer.
Just think, 1s, if the OBC allows only 200V. What will happen in that case?
Cheers.
My expectation is that it would refuse to charge and give an over-voltage error, however I don't think this will occur I think it will be fine.
Have you seen this video where Dala replaces the OBC in an older model Leaf - the one where the OBC is in the boot instead of the engine bay. Is there a chance yours is the older model like this and therefore the sticker would be on the module in the boot.
My Leaf is the "new" oct. 2017 JDM. Therefore, I don't think it will be found in the boot.
So, the question is where is that specifications label on the OBC???
Yeah I wonder if your label has just fallen off.
I think since it is fitted with a J1772 socket it has to support 240V?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J1772
This has gone on for 5 pages, you've heard from all that say it will work, you've heard from many people with JDM cars that say it will work. A label may fall off, be missing because someone had the thing apart, and cleaned the case aggressively.
I think it is time for you to either take the advice given or walk away from the car, and look for a car that does have the label so you can feel better.
Nothing else can be done for you and no amount of fretting over it is going to change anything. Either plug the damn thing into the power you have or sell the car!
The J1772 socket is not just a shape but an engineering standard. Just as power sockets around the world must be configured in a manor that matches the power provided, the J1772 standard means it must meet the standard.
Enough already!

Yep. I only came back to this thread out of curiosity what you had to say, but I'm done
