Lee, Congratulations! I really liked the Leaf when I drove it. The AVCON unit comes already converted from AVCON paddle to new J-1772 pistol, unless you like to do this conversion yourself, then I can ship you the AVCON Corp EVSE with the paddle still attached and a new J1772 pistol, but I have done 4 conversions now, so I am getting the hang of it. The unit is supposed to be on a 40A circuit since it should be able to deliver 32A or so, I did not check the pilot signal waveform. This unit allows the Leaf to use the full 6kW charging capability, which should draw around 25 Amp at 240V. As I said earlier - special deal for EVDL members, I'll email you the details.

Hi Cor, Our 2001 Prius has now become my son's car. At first, he hated the Prius as a "geekmobile". But now that he's working and paying for his own gas, it's become "his" car. :-) So, I bought my wife a Nissan Leaf. She loves it! We got a good deal on a 2013 model, at the end of the month when the dealer are desperate to sell. Being that this is Minnesota and not California, there are no public charging stations within range. The only place with anything but 120vac outlets is the Nissan dealer. So we've been "making do" with just the 120vac level-1 cord that the car came with. That's pretty s-l-o-w... I have 240vac in the garage, but Nissan wants a fortune for their Level 2 cord. You mentioned that you have some older Avcon charging stations? What would it take to convert one of these to charge a Leaf? -- Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats. -- Howard Aiken -- Lee Hart, 814 8th Ave N, Sartell MN 56377, [email protected] _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
