I'm about to purchase a Leaf in the UK, and I'm planning on just getting the standard 3.3kw 16A charger, as most of the time a standard 240V household plug will be fine for my charging needs.
However most of the public chargers near me are of the 32A Mennekes Type 2 variety.
Am I correct in thinking that if I bought a 32A Type 1/Type 2 cable like the one from Zero Carbon World I could charge my 16A 3.3kw Leaf from a 32A 6.6kw Type 2 station safely, although obviously at a reduced rate of 3.3kw?
I don't need the extra charging speed, just access to the chargers themselves.
The Type 1/Type 2 cable... http://shop.zerocarbonworld.org/cables/32a-type2-type1-cable.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Sorry if this question has been answered before, I've been all around this forums, and although found similar posts, I've not been able to find anyone asking this exact same question. I also asked the dealer and they didn't have a clue, although the seem clueless on everything about the Leaf at the moment!
Thanks,
Rooksie
