Just a quick update - I leased my 2013 Leaf SL on Saturday! I've driven a total of about 150 miles in the two days I've had it so far. About 25 miles on the day I picked it up from the dealer, 75 miles yesterday and 52 miles today. I'm starting to get the hang of it. I averaged 4.4 miles/KW today. I didn't reset between the first and second day, but the total up to the end of yesterday was 4.1 miles/KW.
I also ordered the EVSE upgrade, as well as the 120v adapter, and the pigtaig adapter. I bought a plug from Home Depot to match my dryer outlet. It is a 10-30, but the plug's 'prongs' are configurable - I can configure it into a 10-30 or a 10-50 depending on which 'prongs' I use that were included in the box.
Now, I just need to figure out how to wire the plug. I know it must be pretty simple, I've just never done it before. I know the white goes to neutral, but I don't know what side the other two wires should be on. I'll do some more research here on the board to figure it out. I'm hoping my EVSE upgrade is here tomorrow or Wednesday, because the level 1 charging is already getting old.
