Awesome hack for Leaf
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/16/au...ugh-alone.html

. . .
With Mr. Sadow’s $239 modification, the charging cord that comes with the Leaf will replenish the battery pack at the full capacity of the car’s onboard 3.3-kilowatt charger. It can be plugged into a 240-volt outlet or combined with another device, called a Quick-220, that uses two 110-volt outlets on separate circuits.

“To get 240-volt charging at home, you don’t need to spend a ton of money,” he said.



His point would seem to be supported by Nissan’s announcement last week that the price of its approved home chargers was being lowered to $1,818 for a “typical home installation.”

That's the famed pEEf at PriusChat who did a DIY plug-in on his Prius and created a much better alternative to ScanGauge. Great guy!
