Does anyone know if the LEAF will indeed charge at as low as 6A on 120V? I'm considering making an OpenEVSE-derived EVSE (for personal use, not planning a business case for it) that reports between 6A-8A so that I can use it with el cheapo extension cables and truly trickle charge my LEAF during the day at work off of some random exterior outlet, or when I go visit my parents (who knows what else they have on their garage's 120V outlets' circuit). The idea is to have an EVSE that's minimal and safe under pretty much any condition. Has anyone else done this? I know I'd only get something like 1 bar back after 3 hours or something insane like that, but in many of my use cases, that's perfectly fine.
I tried searching for these things before starting this thread, but I couldn't find much in the way of relevant info. Please feel free to point me in the right direction if you can, though!
