Just took delivery of my 2023 Leaf SV+
There seems to be an issue with the delay timing function of the charging and ClipperCreek chargers. I talked with ClipperCreek support today and there seems to be an issue with the Leaf getting confused during the handshaking and carrier tone used by the ClipperCreek charger.
As I understand it, ClipperCreek sends a signal to the car to check if everything is ok for charging - that the posts aren't corrupted(?), and then sets that "tone" to zero (I am getting the terminology wrong, if someone corrects me, I am happy to update). the Leaf sees this setting to zero as having just received a plug, so it activates the handshake protocol again. This causes a loop where the charger will signal, stop and wait for the timer, then signal, stop and wait for the charger. and so on.
The charger will charge the Leaf without issue, Just the delay timer function is causing issues. According to ClipperCreek the fix is in Nissan's hands - they have seen this with some Tesla's and Jeeps. Something about adjusting the timing that the car uses to handshake with the charger.
So, if you have a 2023 on order and use a ClipperCreek charger, be advised.
