I would hazard that the small switch-mode power supply inside the EVSE
charging ’brick’ is universal. You may want to ask this guy:

How much will recertification cost?

If you’re going to have to certify either way, a more sensible option would
be to find a UK or European charge cable to use. Brits use 230V +/- 10
percent at 50 hz. Our charge cables with factory LEAFs were set to charge
at 13 amps, 240-volts.

I actually have a portable charging cable in my garage here in the U.S.,
but it’d be of no use to you I suspect even though ti’s at 240 volts as
it’s set to make use of European style Mennekes connectors.

I know Nissan no-longer sells the LEAF in NZ: but a similar cable from a
Mitsubishi garage should work. (The Outlander PHEV uses the same charging
cable as a LEAF).

So in order of ease:

Buy an Outlander PHEV cable.
Buy a cable from Europe, put on a new plug and recertify.
