I apologize in advance is this has been discussed many times before. I tried searching and couldn't find it. I picked up a 2022 Nissan Leaf SV with Tech Package on Saturday, so I am new to the Leaf though not new to EVs. We also have a Tesla Model 3 that we've owned for 3.5 years. The dealer showed me the hook in the rear cargo area for securing the charging cable bag during transport and there seems to be a lot of emphasis of always having this charging cable with you. I was planning on doing a more permanent install on the EVSE that came with the Leaf as I believe it will also charge my Tesla with the J-1772 adapter that I have.(I don't have an adapter to use the Mobile Tesla charger on the Leaf) What is the consensus, do people always have their EVSE with them? In 3.5 years of Tesla ownership, I used the mobile charging cable twice while on vacations during the first year of ownership but now we don't even pack it when we go on vacation. Charging options are readily available enough that resorting to level 1 charging doesn't seem worth it. One other detail, this car is intended to be a 2nd car that will be used as a commuter and rarely leave the Atlanta metro area.
