is it possible to make a 6.6kw converter/dongle for the QC?

To become a LEAF-CAN "detective" you do not need a LEAF, just time, an inquiring mind, and a Windoze PC.

1. Download my CAN-Do program, a Log file, and the latest "Recipe" file to a folder
2. Run CAN-Do and see if it works, or needs another VB6 run-time file.
3. Get familiar with using the Log-viewing, analysis, and graphing parts of the program.
4. We will provide other Log files for you to "investigate" as they become available.

Ask specific questions here, or in the "CAN-Do ..." thread.

This I CAN do! (get it? Bad pun alert :lol: ) I will look on the CAN-Do thread for download link.

There is a smart way to do this. Virtually all the stuff you need to build a high power charger is already in the car. It's called the inverter. AC Propulsion uses the inverter as a 19kW charge in their products.

It would be easier to do right than do over.

Easier to rip my LEAF's electronics apart without even schemstics?
No, I do not think so!

I would have logged this already, but the main missing ingredient is a working publicly-accessible CHAdeMO charger.

FYI, an easy way to tap the CHAdeMO CAN bus is in the charger. Both EV bus and CHAdeMO bus are right there easy to get at.
