Twice in the last few weeks I've attempted to charge my Leaf using the 120V EVSE at my destination when I had a long drive. In both cases, the lights would not light up on the EVSE, such as the READY light. Literally nothing, not even a FAULT light. Last night it happened again at a pistol range I drove to on the other side of town. I asked the workers if they had somewhere I could plug in and they showed me an outdoor plug and said it worked. Same problem. No lights on the EVSE. What made this situation more odd is that it was a GFCI outlet and there was a little light shining on the outlet itself. So obviously the outlet itself had power. I tried the test and reset buttons, but that didn't seem to help the situation.
However, each time I come home, I try plugging the EVSE in at my outlet at home and it lights right up. What is likely different about these other sockets I'm trying to use?
I know.. I need to buy one of those little outlet testers at Home Depot and put it in the bag with my EVSE. I just can't remember to get one when I'm up there.
