Hi Everyone,
We just purchased our first EV ever and got the 2014 Nissan Leaf S with the 3.6 kW onboard charger. I wish now that I knew better and got the 6.6 kW upgrade but it is what it is unless there is a easy way to upgrade the onboard charger??
Anyhow on that note I was looking at the EVSE below both from Clipper Creek.
So here is the EVSE I was looking at :
http://www.clippercreek.com/store/product/charging-station-lcs-25p-nema-14-30/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The wife will also be taking the charger with her when she visits her parents 40 miles away and charge while she is visiting. They have a older house with a 30amp dryer hookup. This should work fine if she plugs into the dryer outlet right?
Also what should I expect charging times to be from a very low battery like 5% left? Also is it safe to assume that when we hook the Leaf up to charge, and the batter is 55% full that it will take half the time to charge compared to charging from 5% battery level?
Thanks!
