I have had my leaf for about 5 months and have been using level one charging without much difficulty.
I have been thinking of upgrading to one of the level 2 chargers. The reason for the change primarily is that if the car is charging and I use a hair dryer in my bathroom a breaker flips.
My current thought is to first have an electrician install a jack with a 240 and 120 volt jack installed on the same circuit (but different from the rest of the house). Then after I have absorbed that expense get a plug in level 2 charger.
I was thinking this would allow me to defer cost and simplify the installation.
Please give me feed back on this plan.
Also if you could recommend models of chargers? I also welcome any suggestions as to future proof the installation.
