Could I use it for my Nissan Leaf? According to Nissan officer, Leaf needs 240V level 2 charger.What different between your charger and leaf original?

A Nissian Leaf can use this charger just fine. Part of the spec of the SAE J1772-2009 systems is to figure out what level of output the charger can provide and use just that amount. All EVSE systems follow this so using this charger won't be any problem.

Hi Younis, Yes, this will work on 240 as the charger is self regulating. Kind regards, Terry 877-268-1235 x304

It has an ac adapter and the prongs twist off so that another type can go on. The charger is rated to accept the 240 volt input. I would thing you would just need to change the contacts.

If you order the unit from Amazon.com, then the charger will only operate on 110VAC. If you order it from Amazon.co.uk, then the charger will only work on 220VAC. I think this is really silly, and is obviously a marketing issue rather than a technical one. The power supply should be a universal one, operating on 110-240V, like the ones used on most electrical equipment these days.

I'm a Volt owner, but I'll jump in anyway...You might want to look at the EVB32 or 40 instead. As I recall, if you have the Leaf SV, you have the higher power charger (6.6KW) as opposed to a 3.3KW charger in the Leaf S or a Volt. So while it will work fine for you (it works great for me) you do have the advantage of being able to use the higher power unit to cut your recharge time in about half.

The user guide is correct about the low end of 175 volts. This is intended for 208/240 (220 has not existed in the US for the better part of a century). I purchased a unit in September 2012 that needed to have an upgrade to work properly with the Leaf. All new units will have this upgrade.

I have the 6.6kW charger and the Leaf charges almost 30% per hour fir the first 80-90%... It is effectively 2-3 hours of charging, if you don't wait for the last tiny bit and don't run it completely out.

For this model of charger it is. Other chargers and such may have different power needs, but for the most part, with stuff like this, it's going to be 120V. Any model that plugs into 240V will reduce power before going into the battery.

Yes, providing you use an adapter because the charger has two prongs, standard American. The back of the charger says the input AC voltage is 100 to 240 VAC.

In the U.S., it can be BOTH a L1 or L2 EVSE. If it is plugged in to a 240V outlet (with the appropriate plug adapter) it is a Level 2. Conversely, if plugged in to a standard 115V outlet, it is a Level 1. This unit was designed to be used with an particular plug adapter (which can be ordered separately or included with the unit itself for an extra cost). Two type are available directly from EVI, one for 115V and another for 240V outlets.

Hey! It's a pleasure to answer you...Well, I just checked and the charger is bivolt! So, no problems with 240V

Buy the 32 amp unit. It will not charge your current Leaf faster but you'll be glad you have when you lease your next Leaf.

I believe the charger is made to operate on 110-120 V input. If the input voltage is higher the output will be higher and damage the unit.

No, the charger is for 110/120 volt power. In order to use in a 240 volt environment, you will need to use a proper voltage converter.

The answer really depends on what you plan for the future. The 16 amp will work with your Leaf. It will charge you at 3.3kw. But if you plan to get another car that has a 6.6kw charging unit in the future, you will be limited with your 16 amp charger. Considering the cost of electrical installation and the charger. The difference in price of the charger isn't a lot. Also if the circuit you put in is rated for 16 amps (20 amp breaker) then you have to upgrade the breaker to 40 amp and possibly the wiring to 8 gauge or thicker. Just things to consider.

Yes. The charger works for 100-240V. However you will need a us-eu adapter for it to fit the outlit.

Despite level one being half the voltage, which one expects should be double the time compared to level two, level one take about three times the duration. This is likely due to back EMF of the battery. There is also lower resistance and higher efficiency at level two. For example, Nissan LEAF takes 6 to 7 hours to charge from completely empty to full at L2, but 20 to 21 hours at L1.
