Does my LEAF have a 3.3 or 6.6kW charger?

If your dash shows two charging rate options (as at right, circled in red) when connected to an EVSE (charge point), then you have a 6.6kW one.  If not, then you only have the 3.3kW one.

Please consider the current rating and length of cable you order very carefully as a re-stocking charge of £20 will be charged on returns/swaps.

...to charge from any public or private Type 2 EVSE (electric vehicle service equipment) 'charge point', such as those provided by Ecotricity, ChargeMaster, government sponsored Polar, PodPoint and Rolec units, Source East, Source London, 'Charge Your Car', ZeroNet (Zero Carbon World), ChargePlaceScotland, Greater Manchester EV Scheme, Charging Solutions, any EV dealership such as Nissan, Mitsubishi, Citroen, Renault and Peugeot, etc, etc.


The 16A version is suited to EVs with a ~3.3kW maximum power (eg older LEAFs and Outlander) and minimizes the bulk and weight of the adaptor cable.  32A versions are suited to some newer LEAFs, etc.


A small padlock can be used (not supplied) to secure the plug to the car whilst charging.  The padlock shackle must have a diameter of no more than 4mm.


IMPORTANT: Please ensure that this cable is NOT COILED UP when in use.


Free myHermes/Collect+ courier is included which usually takes 2-3 days within mainland UK (excluding weekends) - but may take as much as 7 days. 


For international order additional postage costs and insurance, please see the relevant section on the ‘Welcome’ page.

Options:

2. ADP6 - Type 2 to Type 1 Adapter

(Note: The ‘free carry bag’ offer does not apply to this product)

In Stock - £120

Price includes P&P

Weight: - 900g

This adapter will allow any EV equipped with a Type 1 (J1772) socket (eg Nissan LEAF) to use any EVSE (charge point) fitted with a tethered Type 2 (Mennekes) charging cable and plug - or - a ‘free cable’ EVSE which has a cable plugged into it that terminates in a FEMALE Type 2 plug. Either EVSE and/or cable can be either 1P or 3P but the adaptor will only transfer 1P power. It consists of a special Type 2 plug, a 0.15m length of 32A EV cable and a standard Type 1 plug.


The special Type 2 plug allows it to properly mate with the female Type 2 plug as well as a Type 2 socket.  Note: This Type 2 plug will not lock into a locking EVSE socket. 


It is suitable for either 16A or 32A use.  A small padlock can be used (not supplied) to secure the Type 1 plug of the adaptor to the car whilst charging as there is no means of locking the adaptor to the tethered (or un-tethered) EVSE plug.  The padlock shackle must have a diameter of no more than 4mm.


**Tesla Destination Charge Points (DCPs) - Tesla advise that where their DCPs are installed in pairs that one of the pairs has been programmed to require additional communications protocols from the connected vehicle to work.  Consequently, where the DCP has this feature incorporated, this adaptor will not work.  In my experience, signage at the point of DCP installation identifies Tesla-only EVSEs from universal ones.


Free postage* is included which usually takes 2-3 days within mainland UK (excluding weekends) - but may take as much as 7 days. 



(* UK orders only - ex-UK orders must have extra postage added - see the ‘Shipping Information’ page)

3. ADP7 - Type 1 to Type 2 Adapter

(Note: The ‘free carry bag’ offer does not apply to this product)

In Stock - £140

Price includes P&P

Weight: - 900g

This adapter will allow any EV equipped with a Type 2 socket eg Tesla (except Roadster), Volvo, Mercedes Benz, BMW or Renault to use any fixed EVSE (charge point), public or private, fitted with a tethered Type 1 (J1772) EV charging plug to charge from that EVSE. The charge rate is unaffected by the adaptor.  It is also compatible with *some* EVs charging from a portable EVSE (ie one fitted with a standard mains supply plug) but some EVs will not support this. For example, the Tesla Model S (and probably X, too) will not charge from the portable EVSE supplied with the  Mitsubishi i-MiEV (and probably the Outlander, too).  This is dues to a difference in how Mitsubishi have interpreted the IEC60296 charging standard.


It is rated at 32A, continuous.


A small padlock is provided to allow the T1 plug to be secured to the socket to prevent accidental disconnection.


Free postage* is included which usually takes 2-3 days within mainland UK (excluding weekends) - but may take as much as 7 days.


(* UK orders only - ex-UK orders must have extra postage added - see the ‘Shipping Information’ page)
