NOPE! The *correct* designed EVSE will have a test circuit that indeed
generates a GFCI test fault current but *only* in the EVSE's GFI

David,
Why are you unplugging the charger?
Typical Li-Ion chargers or BMS will shut off the power into the
battery when max level is reached.

Hi gang,
Just a short report on one of my new exploits with Nissan Leaf batteries.
About 5 years ago I installed 2 used Leaf packs in my US Electricar
(Chevy S10 conversion) and it has been a very useful vehicle still
today, due to the used (deteriorated, but cheap) packs the truck
started with
Simple, the 2011/12 battery is in a grey enclosure with an
orange+green service disconnect socket with round pins, surrounded by
security torx bolts and the top of the enclosure has about 20 bolts
around the edge, because it is *bolted* closed. If you open it, you
will see the modules have
onduction.)

Waste of time.
I know, the 2 shitty sheet metal "arms" (12 cm pot steel with a hole
for a 10mm bolt on each end) are being replaced with concerns about
them rusting, but really - the entire *metal* battery enclosure is
bolted to the *frame* of the Leaf with 10 or 12 *huge* bolts under
high
For what it is worth:
I have a 2013 Leaf (not the best aerodynamics) and get consistently
just below 200Wh/mi at a steady 55MPH.
Have done 92 miles of freeway without running out of juice (just
getting the very low battery warning before arriving) with my 24kWh
pack.
So the 166 number (6 mi/kWh)
Mark,
That is absolute bollocks.
As far as I know: *Recalls* never time out, they are mandatory,
enforced by external entities, so it is grounds for a complaint
against the manufacturer.
I have similar experience - dealers often have no clue what they are
required to do, so they try to bluff you
