I'll get technical about the Leaf and talk "geek" as this blog progresses , but also expect some mundane observations from a not very politically correct dude.

Trickle or Phil it? Part III

Why pay over $2000 for an EVSE? I don't know how many of you have heard, but Phil is now offering a Revision 2 to the trickle-charger that came with the leaf. I wrote about it in Part II of "Trickle or Phil It". Again, you should go to his website and read all about it.

I am so happy because I just got it back Wednesday. As stated in Part II, this latest upgrade will allow the charger to charge with common household 120v at 12 amps or 240v at 16 amps. The unit will auto-detect the voltage and supply the Leaf's internal charger accordingly.  There is a very informative thread about the upgrade on the "My Nissan Leaf Forum" here:

I guess I won't be spending $2500 on an AeroVironment EVSE after all... Ha!


Phil, I don't know you, but I love you...
