Congrats, hope the range works well for you.
Are you stuck on the Turbo cord? Personally if your OK with <20a @240v I'd probably suggest getting your OEM EVSE upgraded by EVSEupgrade.com, gives you more flexibility than the Turbo cord. There are also a couple other portable options for 240v@16a, all cheaper than the Turbocord. Now if you have access to ~30a @240v you probably want to get a wall mount EVSE, your vehicle goes up to 27.5a but would require a 40a circuit.
I have a 30a EVSE for home use and a upgraded OEM EVSE for 20a(or less) charging and also a $299 Ebusbar for 16a only charging at either 120v or 240v, IMO the Turbo cord is a bit overpriced for what it does.

Let me know if/where you find window deflectors for a Leaf, I've never seen them but would also like them, I might also suggest WeatherTech floor mats, if you live in a area that experiences snow, they come in handy. Doesn't the shift mouse already glow? mine does. I wouldn't mind tinted windows but don't care to go more than 35% for front windows, maybe 20% on rear windows and hatch, much darker and it gets pretty hard to see at night.

Hello,

Thanks for the warm welcome, haha I bought the Turbocord brand new on Ebay for $300 shipped, figured it was a good deal so pulled the trigger before getting my car today.

A 30a EVSE is considered as a level 2 right ?

For the window deflectors I am looking to get these ones https://www.wellvisors.com/product/3-847ns013.html

Tint: 25 % for the rear 5 windows.

Thanks

Wow you did get a great deal on that TC(Turbocord) just checked Amazon and the cheapest 240v only model TC is $500 and the 120/240v model is $600, both too much for what it does, IMO. Unless you don't mind carrying around 2 EVSEs in your Leaf(factory one for 120v and cheaper TC for 240v) I personally wouldn't consider the cheaper TT, leaving the $600 model which is double what I purchased my Ebusbar(or EVSEupgrade option) for. Again not saying I know anything bad about the TC, just think their pricing structure is a bit steep.

That's a great deal on the Turbo. And a great Car, too!

Please let us know how you like those deflectors. One of the awesome things about the Leaf is the quiet. I wonder if deflectors will give you anywhere near the same feeling.
