My utility (Portland General Electric) recommends only using GFCI outlets for charging my new Leaf using Level I charger.
The electrician I called, who specializes in electric car charging, recommends that the outlet NOT be GFCI because GFCI trips the circuit and therefore halts the charging.
I'd appreciate your help in deciding what is best.
FYI my current outlets are not-GFCI. They are also on the side of the house (not under a garage or cover).
Glad to be part of this forum (110 miles on the odometer so far!)
