Every other EV I've driven and charged has the option to limit the AC current to 25A or even lower, etc. We limit the current when L2 charging at home to typically 25A to reduce the load on the electrical and 25A is plenty fast at 240V.
I haven't seen this as possible on the Leaf, along with the (non-existent) charge cap. Passive air cooling and not having these options is a head-scratcher.
I mostly charge our Leaf at L1 speeds to get around this issue, but is there a better way?
I'm going to see if the 1.8kW (1.26kWh) battery I bought can actually charge the Leaf, but I'd feel better about trying if I could set the AC charge current to something like 8A on 120V.
