As i'm sure you will all know, the battery heats up with every fast ( DC ) you do, to a point where it will only take 19kw/h of charge, I plan on traveling down to southern France and i'm wondering if charging on the 42kw AC chargers on route will heat the battery up the same as the DC fast chargers ?? any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
Charging rate is measured in kW, not "kw/h". OP is in Europe and I'm not clear about the OBCs on newer European Leafs which have Mennekes Type 2 inlets instead of J1772 inlets. I also don't know what year the OP's car is.
I believe the switch happened w/gen 2 Leaf.
'22 Niro EV
'19 Bolt Premier (bought back by GM)
'13 Leaf SV w/premium (former)
'13 Leaf SV w/QC + LED & premium (lease over)
Please don't PM me with Leaf questions. Just post in the topic that seems most appropriate.
I'm reasonably sure (but not positive) that the European LEAF is limited to 16 Amps
European voltage is 230v, so a 3 phase wiring would be at 400volts, and power would be 6.4 kW
