Hello All,
Playing around here and decided to install a 13.3% boost transformer in line with my level 1 charge cord to see if there was an increase in charge rate. Normal line voltage here is about 115 so with the boost the LEAF sees 130V.
As you can see from leaf spy the charge rate is indeed increased with the higher line voltage, obviously there is no free lunch, and the current draw from the wall has increased accordingly.
Anyway I'm back on L2 now, but I was wondering if anyone else had done something like this for a small boost where L1 was the only option but the installed circuit supported a higher current draw.
