Agreed. You quoted my comment referring to L2 charging during the day (at full spec L2/16 amp stations).planet4ever said:Phil's unit won't give you 12-13 miles per charging hour. More like 9-10 miles. It's still limited to 12 amps, just at double the voltage, so double the miles of 120v.
When describing Phil's unit , I said:
"In our case we added 20 kWh (80+ highway miles (at 56 mph)) to our battery in 8.5 hours of overnight charging using the modded Nissan L1 charger in our friend's garage (using a 240V circuit with a NEMA 6-20 receptacle)."
Which calculates at 9.4 miles per charging hour. Matching your calculation exactly!
With Phil's unit, you can start charging after arrival, go out to dinner in the LEAF, charge overnight, run out for coffee/breakfast in the LEAF, top off while you pack, and then drive your full 80+ miles that afternoon.
With the stock L1 charger you'd miss the flexibility of these extra side trips because you'd have to stay on the charger most of the time (needing a full 20 hours).
Or at least feel a little anxious about it, right? :roll:
