Thanks so much to you and Ron for organizing this meeting. Good group, good pictures, and very informative. I learned a lot and look forward to August 13.

If I am giving instructions for, say, Monday, how can the End time be earlier (i.e., noon) than the start time (6PM)? Why would the timer apply Monday instructions to Tuesday, as you indicate above? Have you actually tried this out? Does Nissan clarify this issue anywhere in their manual or...

More specifically, I am in Los Altos near the Magdelena exit off Hwy. 280. Again, PM me if interested in L2 charging during the Cupertino meeting.

I live in Los Altos and am happy to have someone use my L2 home charging station during the meeting. Please PM me if interested. Happy 4th!

That’s really interesting about the efficiency of 240V vs. 120V charging. However, isn’t battery life prolonged with slower charging (i.e., 120 > 240 > 480)? Back to the timer issue, so let’s say I arrive home at 3PM on a weekday (a short day in the office). I would like to be able to plug...

Both, depending on how much time I have, how discharged the battery is, and how far I intend to go next outing. I don't want to think about what time I am plugging in; I want the timer to do everything necessary to avoid peak hour charging without any special plug-in planning on my part...

The charging timer software, with a start and stop time, does not allow you to block out peak hours. For example, my peak hours are 12 noon to 6 PM Mon-Fri, with no peak hours on Sat and Sun. I cannot insert a 6PM start time and still be able to charge before 12noon. Or, if I select start at...

Two items I would like to see discussed at Gathering #5: 1. The charging timer software, with a start and stop time, does not allow you to block out peak hours. For example, if peak hours are 12noon to 6PM, you cannot insert a 6PM start time and still be able to charge before 12noon. Or, if...

Stanton and Rake, Thanks so much for clarifying the Wet Okole terminology for me. So now I just have to make some aesthetic decisions! Lee

Can anyone explain the seat cover terminology to me? I am signed up for a discounted order and would like to place my order this week. What does piping mean? Half piping? When Wet Okole says "solid colors", do they actually mean black sides? Does the Wet Okole light gray match the LEAF...

<<I have not used the charging Timers yet, using just immediate 100% charging, L1 and Mod-L1 (240v 12 amp). But I should try it soon.>> Garygid, It is my understanding that while 100% charge may be necessary at times for longer trips, it is much better for battery life to use the timers with...

Is the only purpose of the "Immediate Charge" switch to allow charging in a time period outside the limits set on Timer 1 and Timer 2? The owner's manual is not too clear on this point. If I activate the "Immediate Charge" switch so I can charge outside the time set on my 2 Timers, and I...

Sorry, I am still having trouble with the technical jargon; thanks again for clarifying :) 1. If you can plug directly into 110V, why not the same for 220V? As you noted, the LEAF charger can detect 110V or 220V. 2. What is so dangerous about plugging into a 220V socket? It just...

How would I get hurt plugging into a 240V socket? Can't the Leaf charger and BMS detect a 240V source without needing an EVSE?

Thank you for clarifying the terminology for me. So, returning to my original question, why is the EVSE necessary at all? Lee

Why is an 240V EVSE necessary to charge the Leaf at home? As I understand from my EE friend, battery management is built into car. You can plug directly into any 110V outlet. Why not the same for any 220V outlet? Apparently the Leaf home charging station simply puts out a signal that the...
