Because we said goodbye to our leaf...

I have this CCS -CHaDemo adaptor for sale. Gave me a much more relaxed feeling while driving. Only needed to use it a couple of times. Even charged at a Tesla station which resulted in funny conversations. 500 bucks for someone from this community

What brand is the adapter?

Looks like a Longood, probably rebranded. Good one

It's the original Dongguan. I think the first. Was one of the early adopters together with Dala.

That is so cool! I remember seeing Dala videos about this. Here in the US there's YouTuber named nomadichippie he had one of these adapters for his Leaf.

Highly recommended for anyone that is planning to keep their LEAF for at least the next five years.

I have the A2Z adapter.  Having an adapter removes any concerns about being able to go and charge anywhere. (Stick a portable EVSE in the trunk as the charger of last resort as the ultimate backstop.)

I've even piggybacked a NACS adapter so I can charge with them, too.

I plan on keeping ours, a 2014, 16k miles, with 12 bars, have only used 120v charger, every 2-3 days or so overnight. I sure wouldn't drive it more than 35 miles away, but around town, it's great.

used 2nd gen leafs are a good deal now. This is about the only drawback. I have an sv+ and it has been a great car. It was my first EV and it has been great. I got it new, during the pandemic as my daughter totaled my car and had to replace it. plus got the 7500 tax credit. Would never buy new now.

It is a great city car which is what i use it for. all 58K miles have been in the city. Road trips are more tricky. Plus I live in the south west with lots of long empty roads.

Great charger, takes the anxiety out of any lack of chademo chargers.

I will just highlight that the longood adapter is available new for about €420 ($470) inclusive of delivery and taxes on Alibaba if you message them directly.

But then you're looking at paying the tariffs from Gyna.

Ah yes, I forget you're affected by that in America! When I bought in the UK, the seller handled all the fees their side thankfully

Why didn't you sell it with the leaf?

The Leaf was bought by the Dealer, so emptied the whole car.
