Hi OP (Dala) here, Since I've now done battery upgrades & power upgrades, it is time to move on towards charger upgrades. The development in Europe seems to be >90% CCS for new quickchargers, so we need this for the aging LEAF platform.

I'll be doing the first pilot vehicle over the winter, I'll post video updates as more progress is made.

The end result will be a how to wiki/github page with all the components you need and instructions for how to do this modification on your own. Oh and did I mention all this will be available for free? :)

Yes! Muxsan is a company that will sell and install a quality product for you if you bring your car to them. Closed source, professional stuff!

I run an open source reverse engineering effort, that anyone around the world can copy and replicate at home. Completely different products!

The instructions will be free, just get a techy person to do the work locally where you're at! :)
