Honestly, it comes down to personal taste. Sure there is some percentage better I'm sure, but probably not a whole heck of a lot. I use "B" for in-town driving, especially for red lists and stop signs... You know you are going to have to come to a complete stop anyways so might as well put...

I see... It took me a few days at a set charge level (L2 240volt 12amp) playing with the Leaf's (30kWh) charging departure timer to figure out the sweet spot (80% SOC). I typically leave at 7:30am on work days and so I found for me the sweet spot was setting the charge timer for a departure...

If you now have a 240 volt AC circuit near by where you park, why are you trying to still charge on 120 volts? Are both your EVSE's only 120 volt? If so you can easily convert your OEM Nissan EVSE to 240 volt 12amp. This is what I did to mine as soon as I got it home, in fact the first at...

LeafSpy (to my understanding) shows a more correct and accurate SOC for your battery vs what the dash shows... The dash is not that far off though, at least not on my 2017 Leaf. Some real world examples: Dash LeafSpy 100% 97% 50% 50-49% 10% 13-14% 6% ~10% Meaning I find the...

Whomever won that got a heck of a deal! It only had 1 bid. Good for them. I have no complaints with mine.

To calculate watts produced or consumed- volts * amps = watts To calculate kilowatts produced or consumed- volts * amps = (watts / 1000) Rarely does someone have the need to convert kW back to watts as the primary reason for converting it to kW in the first place is to make it more human...

Completely overlooked the kWh mistake, you all got me :roll: Now how does 1000 multiplied by watt = kW ? 1000 X 6600 = 6600000 kW ??

Yes, Leaf's with the 6.6kW charger can charge up to half of the chargers max kilowatt rating if only being feed 120 volts. So, for 120 volts that's 3.3kWs or 27.5 amps. I am not sure about older Leafs that came with the 3.6kW charger, my guess is it would be the same for them with only half...

Leaf Spy Lite (free for Android) or Leaf Spy Pro will indeed tell you how many amps are going into the battery via displaying a negative number. Negative number equals amps going into battery, positive equals amps coming out. Remember this is the amps going into the battery. If you are...

The adjustable Duosida is my spare that I keep in the car with the 2 adaptors I made, it's not my primary EVSE. Being that it's not my primary I just couldn't justify the added $100 to $150 more for the next step up (Zencar) which does have that 24amp setting which is perfect for 30amp max...

I picked up the Duosida 32amp adjustable EVSE from an Ebay seller a month ago for right at $200 (free shipping). It's been great. https://duosidaevchargers.com/ I have fully tested it and it works with the following: 240 volt AC 208 volt AC (this is what my work has) 120 volt AC It works...
