Hi folks
We were arguing about insertion cycles of various connectors at lunch
(something engineers do) so I asked the great god google:
Since the Tesla Y came with a portable 32A 240Vac charge controller (ordered
the nema 14/50 plug), could just use it as others do for charging. Looking at

Hi Lee etc,
I also have a 2013 Leaf. Did you make an adapter to go from the 120V plug
to the 14/50 240V plug on the Leaf's portable EVSE? I know my Tesla
portable is rated for 32A at 240V max (just plugged in/works great) but I
didn't know the Leaf was rated for 240V
Easy way to tell (maybe) is to open it up and see if it has a
conventional small 60 Hz transformer to power its internal 12 V electronics.
If so, 240 VAC will likely overvoltage those low voltage circuits
(operating at 12 V).
On the other hand, if it does not have a small 12 v transformer, then it
The G2 units are switch mode, but it has a primary filter electrolytic only
rated for 200V. When you connect it to 240v, that capacitor sees about
320v, so generally after a short while it explodes and destroys the power
supply.
Also, if you just replace the capacitor, it will be fine, and will o

IMO, you can now buy decent heavy-duty well-constructed J1772 EVSEs for
rather low cost, and if you own a Tesla, their wall-connector EVSE is a
good bargain for what you get. If you just dropped many tens of kilobucks
on a new EV, do yourself a favor and get a decent EVSE. Save the included

I like your quote today! Very good - and so true!

It's true, one of the better portable EVSEs ever made was the Nissan Gen 2
unit made by Panasonic Kitchen appliances division:
As many of you know, I used to have a small part-time business converting
these to L1/L2 capability. They will easily handle 20A continuous (G2 not
