I've turtled my Leaf three times. And yes, 2-3 hours of L1 charging sounds about right.LeftieBiker said:I think that someone posted that it takes two hours of L-1 charging to get a turtled Leaf moving, with about 8 miles of range.

Did you use the OEM EVSE to do the charging and if so how did it do using an inverter for the power source? Did you have to bond or use a resistor from neutral to ground?Evoforce said:garsh said:I've turtled my Leaf three times.

I have even rescued my dead Leaf with my second Leaf and it's 2000 watt built on inverter.
I wonder how big of an inverter one could use without depleting the 12v battery?
So are you saying the Leaf HV to 12V charger can supply 1800w @ 12v(which would be ~150 amps) or are you saying evforce's 2000w 120v inverter should only output 1800-1500w continuous?LeftieBiker said:I wonder how big of an inverter one could use without depleting the 12v battery?
....The converter can provide 1800 watts, although the more cautious limit it to 1500. I don't believe the grounding issue is much of a problem with L-1 charging, only with L-2. You probably have to ground the inverter to the car, but I'd verify that first.
I guess when you never venture more than 10 miles from home, what's there to be anxious about.Nubo said:In 6 years I have never run out. "Range anxiety" is an overplayed meme of FUDsters.

I don't know about Nissan, but in Southern California AAA has trucks that can come and give a charge, most are Level 2, but there are a few DC Quick charge trucks. The other alternative is that they can tow you (on a flatbed tow truck of course) to the nearest charging station.vger105 said:My wife came home with barely any juice left in our Leaf, maybe 5% Had she run out and called Nissan Roadside Assistance, what would they have done to help her? Do they carry around a portable quick charger? Has that ever happened to anyone?9
Yeah, it is usually more efficient to just get a tow on a flatbed to the nearest charging station.brotherjethro said:Apparently truck-mounted CHAdeMO rescue chargers do exist: https://electrek.co/2016/09/06/aaa-ev-emergency-charging-truck/
But they don't get much use -- so they are probably losing money for AAA, and won't roll out nation-wide: https://insideevs.com/aaa-charging-trucks-seldom-see-action/
