Aside from the "cool factor" for having something that is not generally available in the US, another purpose is to prevent getting a ticket or tow from AB475 by allowing the owner to lock the EVSE connection...

how does that lock the J1772 connection from a commercial EVSE?
 
It latches in place between the car and the charge port cover, thus preventing anyone from open the charge port and disconnecting the J1772...

Yes.
There are brackets that you install that hold the "cover"
in place. When finished charging, you "release"
the "cover" from the brackets, slide it out, close the hatch,
and stow this anti-tampering "cover", usually in the boot.
 
Hey!

I'm a future Nissan Leaf driver from Norway! I'm looking to buy this, but I'm looking to see the price difference between Japan and the UK. Where did you buy your charge port cover?
 
I put a little padlock on my J1772. Its a lot cheaper and performs the same function.
 
Can you put a link up that you used to order it or a list of parts you can get, I would like to order some of the other items from Japan like fog lights etc...
 
Can they get other parts I dont mind paying a fee for yours and their time would really like to get a couple parts
