I'm finding that certain brands of GFCI outlets seem to trip within a few seconds of starting to charge my 2012 LEAF using the stock Panasonic 120 volt charger. My car is completely stock and there are plenty of GFCI outlets that it doesn't trip the internal breaker. The outlets I'd like to use are public (such as those on light posts at Menards stores) & therefore I can't swap them out or modify them. Is there any sort of adapter/conditioner I could use between my Panasonic charge cord and the outlet that would prevent the outlet from tripping its breaker? Note I can plug in a 1600 watt hair dryer to the same outlet without tripping it. I believe my LEAF draws about 1400 watts when trickle charging.
Thanks,
Gary
