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 is using a switching supply and will likely be OK. But if they did it that way, then I would have expected them to put 120/240 V on the name plate. Everything else in the J1772 spec is CURRENT related and the mains voltage does not matter == Bob On Sun, Mar 28, 2021 at 1:32 PM Lee Hart via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > mark hanson via EV wrote: > > Hi Lee etc, > > > > I also have a 2013 Leaf.
