Yes, I have the Clipper Creek 240VAC charging thing plugged into 240VAC, but I was 100% surprised when the car end of the Clipper Creek charging thing did not plug into the BIG charging port on my Leaf! Plugs into the SMALL port on my Leaf (same as the Nissan factory 120VAC charger thing did!) and appears to be charging it too. I ASSUME from 240VAC (L2) as that's what the Cliiper Creek charging thing's plugged into.
John Kuthe...
You have it right John. Any AC source wether it be 120 or 240 will plug into the right hand port via a j1772 connecter. It uses the internal charger of the car to rectify and charge the DC battery.
The big port on the left is for a DC charge supply like a Chademo fast charger. This is already a DC current and goes directly to the battery without going thru the internal charger.
Hope that helps.
