faster charging upgrade possibilities?

Also I noticed on your sig line about the "LED Headlight option." Did you upgrade the high beams to LED? On all 2011 and 2012 Leafs, LED low beams and halogen high beams came standard, and there was no "LED Headlight Option." That did not come until 2013 and specifically for the Leaf SV +QC, as the standard SV was downgraded to all-halogen headlights like the base S has.

No clue. Someone here told me I had the "led upgrade"

The highbeams are clearly halogens or incandescent of some flavor.

In that case your headlights are exactly the same as what came with all 2011's and 2012's. As far as I remember, 2012 didn't have any of the sort of option packages you see on later Leafs. The only additional equipment you'd see on the sticker are minor port-installed accessories like mats and decals.

RonDawg's spot on. LED headlights were standard on both '12 trims (see specs tab of http://nissannews.com/en-US/nissan/usa/channels/Leaf-Press-Kits/presskits/US-2012-nissan-leaf-press-kit" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false.

No, the 6.6 kw charger didn't become available until 2013, and, as others have told you, Nissan made too many changes in the charger location, mounting, and cabling to even consider the upgrade.

Yep. 3.3 kW OBC ONLY in the back under the hump on '11 and '12 Leafs: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=69224" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. The cooling lines have to run to the back for the rear-mounted OBC: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3896" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

The OBC on '13+ Leafs is now under the hood as part of the PDM stack.
