[EVDL] Leaf Chargers

Does anyone know if the Leaf with 6.6KW onboard charger is supposed to come with a different kind of EVSE? Or is the "trickle charge" just that, regardless of the car's ability to charge faster? I bought an OpenEVSE, but I would like to know if I need to ask the dealer to replace the 12a charger

There is just one on-board charger. When you plug into 120 volts with the "trickle charger" that comes with the car, the on-board charger is limited to 12 amps draw from the plug. If instead, you plug into your wall mounted unit, it sends a different duty cycle on the 12v, 1000 Hz on the

Seth, The 12A limit is due to the outlets limitation and not the car. Any 110V EVSE is 12A max to avoid overloading the outlet. The rule is that for continuous power draw you must stay under 80% of an outlet's max. Since most 110V outlets are designed for 15A max, 12A is the max continuous
