Hi All,
I have an interesting issue with my Leaf. I installed the 220V L2 charger that Nissan shipped to me. I have been using it successfully for an entire month. My car would charge to 100% with ease within a couple of hours instead of 18-24 hours with the 110v provided. I came back from a weekend trip noticed that the circuit breaker in the basement was popped that only has the 220V charger plugged into it.
This is what is happening. When I plug in the 220V charger my mini charging station lights up under "charging car." Then, after one minute I hear a click in the charging station and the car makes a lighter noise and the car stops charging. The light on the 220V charger still is green and says ready, but no longer has the light that says "charging car" lit. Then, to test whether it was the charger or my car I plugged in the 110V and the same issue occurred once again. It would charge for one minute, I would hear a click from the car and it would stop charging.
I'm thinking it may be just a faulty 40 Amp circuit breaker that I bought, but why would it charge for one minute? I get the one blue light blinking all the way to the left of the three lights indicating it is charging.
My next step was to plug the 110V L1 charger into another breaker outlet and the same issue occurred. It would charge for one minute and then a clicking noise from the car and it would stop charging. The L1 charger would have the green light saying reading, but no charge.
My car is still at 11%, but I feel the chargers think the car is full.
I have a feeling it could be something with the car possibly that may be disconnected on the inside? Anyone run into this issue before using a house delivered L2 or L1 charger from Nissan? Any suggestions?
