2019 LEAF charge point

niall_eidw

Guys,

My new LEAF is on order for Jan 2019 delivery. Can anybody clarify to me whether the charging socket is a Type1 or a Type2, aside from the Chademo one.

The 1028 Owners Manual page 'CH-6 & CH-7 Charging’ states: "SAE J1772 compliant charging device connected to a dedicated AC 220 - 240 volt circuit. L1 & L2 EVSE” It just doesn't specify whether or not its a Type1 or Type2!!

I have spoken to Nissan who thought it was a Type2, I'm waiting to hear back from them with clarification. Wikipedia says the J1772 is a Type1.

Utterly confused!!

Thanks guys...

J1772 is type 1
However if you are buying a new leaf it is type 2 in Europe.

Guys,

Thank you very much for the clarification.

Can a J1772 be Type1 AND Type2?

No.
J1772 is type 1 and IEC62196 "Mennekes" is type 2

Mmmm, the Owners Manual must be a non-Eurpoean one then...

Thanks very much.

Guys,

Nissan confirmed that the 2018/9 LEAF has an IEC62196 "Mennekes" type 2 charging socket. The US are still using a Type1 at the moment, but are in the process of switching over to a Type 2. My Owners Manual must have been a US version.

Thanks again for all your help.

Yeah, you're probably looking at the US manual. All cars are Type 1 over there.

Guys,

I posted queries for clarification on my 2019 LEAF this morning. I got great help here.

But I really wanted to thank Tokheim Services Group in Baldonnel who were so helpful in assisting me to change my ChargePoint charger to a Type2.

I don't mean to be advertising for this company and if I contravene any Forum rules, please fell free to remove this post.

Regards,

My choice was the SVE model, with Elegance Chrome Pack, Fog lights upgraded to HID/LED ones. Nissan were also offering the 'ding' coverage at what I thought was a good price. I think Nissan refer to it as SMART 36. If somebody dinges the exterior of the car. I take a photo and send it to Nissan, they organise somebody to come out and fix it.

I was going to get the SharkFin antenna too, but it may be cost prohibitive. There are good alternates available to this option.

I have already have my LeafSpy Pro App and ODBII unit all ready to go.

Car is expected sometime in Jan, but I don't have a date yet. Did you get a date for yours yet?

Niall
