Yeah send him a new one!!!

They may of course be unaware of the scope of his reach, given none of it is in their native language.

Dala has said elsewhere that the manufacturer is sending him a replacement.

Hi, feel free to add your experiences in the excel sheet that I linked in the description!

Happy to hear from an eNV200 user. What is the largest battery size for the eNV200? Can a 62kw.hr leaf battery be used in a eNV200? I hoping this van can become a cheap and cost effective delivery van with a battery upgrade.

🤞Yes!

The manufacturer of these is very good at fixing unsupported chargers via software updates. Log which dont work, and send the logs back to the manufacturer!

@@DalasEVRepair I wish, I don't have a unit itself... Here is basically all chargers what available thru USA avalable in one city. I forgot about chargepoint, they making his own chargers too.

I have one ordered and once I have it I imagine I’ll need to test it with the dcfc units in western canada. I imagine it will need some testing first

@@pashko90 I've ordered one and will be sending the logs, if you arent willing to put out the effort and risk some money, you don't get to complain

How did it go?

I'm just going to wait for China to copy it and sell it way cheaper

I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on with it. I'm considering one myself to use here in the UK.

I ordered one, and talking in Chinese to the guy on WhatsApp and alibaba he said the quoted time was 2 weeks… checked today since it was 2 weeks already :)

@@viraeternus am into week 3 now I think.... Although they did have Chinese new year shut down. Will gently nudge Leslie next week if it hasn't dispatched by then.

Their webpage on Ali Baba is currently saying mid April - which, TBF, is a lot earlier than it used to say - which was June. You can also apparently order 1, even though the order pricing suggests a minimum of 2 - it states min order 1 further down the page - and at the same price as 2-9.

Mine took almost a month to leave the factory, then 3 days to deliver. The company is very good at replying to emails.

Hope you find someone. If you do I would love to hear who it is. I am in the same boat, in Australia with a 7 bar 2012 Leaf. Would love to upgrade the battery but have had no luck finding a good used battery. Might be easier to import a replacement battery from Japan. If I can't find someone to do the battery swap I may have a go at doing it myself. It seems fairly straight forward with the adaptor from EVs Enhanced.

Good Car Co may be able to point you in the right direction. While they specifically import EVs to Australia, they have many contacts in the EV industry. If you find out, could you please let me know so I can recommend them?

Send them a message... They will let you order a single unit. The fella just handcodes the invoice through the app.

I ordered a sample unit and they sent me one. I'm not sure why the minimum is 2, but you can definitely buy just 1.

That was just my question, I am considering a C-Zero as a second car but it would be a considerable benefit if it could charge at CCS chargers...

I would say technically it is quite safe. Incase the charger/vehicle would notice an insulation leak from HV-GND, the charging stops.

Old 24kWh with low state of health will have high internal resistance. It makes sense from an engineering standpoint to restrict regen on these packs, since regen braking wont put much energy back into the battery, it will just generate heat. Best way to get regen back is to put in a newer battery pack with higher state of health!

No, this is DC

The adapter is CCS to CHAdeMO. While the CCS port in cars has both AC and DC pins, the adapter only has DC pins. It might be possible to use CCS V2G in the future (testing required), but V2L would require a much larger adapter with an inverter. Setec Power sells a CHAdeMO V2L unit (incorrectly listed as V2H), but I suspect it's about 5 times the cost.

Click edit, it will prompt a request to edit!

Thanks for your reply, I started testing charging stations in Poland. I will soon add event miarę to the list, the first 2 stations for startera. Regards

Nomadic hippie got the EVGo working with CCS1. Use this document to see what works and doesn't, and feel free to add to it! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18Uqyb2vJoLLAhkaYuRJ3yp8TAK-YEfgthubDkoFBTI4/edit#gid=0

The thumb drive shouldn't have needed to be formatted. It's possible that the adapter needs a specific format (e.g. fat32, exfat, ntfs) and formatting as anything else could mean that the adapter can't read the thumb drive anymore. Other things to look for: Make sure there is only 1 file on the drive. The file must be named My407ccs2chademo.bin The 3 way USB cable must be used to flash the adapter. The thumb drive must be connected before power.

@@The18107j in the instructions when you receive the product, it does specifically say format the thumb drive after uploading everything to the computer and then reinstalling the newest version of firmware. So that’s all done but good news I have been communicating with. Darla ev repair and he did send me the newest of the newest from where updates that when I get home tonight. I will be installing onto the thumb drive but I cannot put it on the adapter just yet because I have to wait for a little adapter that I purchased from Amazon to be able to connect the USB type C but once I get that tomorrow, I cannot wait to run around and give us a shot because it should be working on almost all the chargers after this update in my brain anyway lol we’ll see how it goes

Yes fat32 format only

@@nomadichippieInteresting. You must have been given newer instruction. Mine had nothing about formatting. Good luck!

E+ 160kW inverter raises max rpm from 10500 -> 11330

I am really looking forward to the Electway adapter, but no clue on pricing!

Sent them an email!

Thank you Dala! Nomadic Hippie is I think the first one to test in North America so it is really appreciated!!

@@DalasEVRepair thank you. He was a big fan of your videos.

The manual clearly states using adapters voids the warranty. My warranty expired 5 years ago, so I'm not that worried 😅

@@DalasEVRepair Thanks. We'll have to forego it at the moment then although I'm not that worried here at the moment there's a a reasonable number of CHADaMO chargers around and we've never had a problem so far...

For 100kW (250A), Chademo v1.2 protocol is needed, along with a Chademo cable actually rated for this power level. Most cables on the market only do 125A-200A. But when the stars align, the LEAF e+ can do 100kW!

​@@DalasEVRepairI seen + moldes goes up to 74kw, and never seen it goes over it. But I have one more car what actually can go 100kw, Kia soul EV, but I still putting battery together for it to be able to push 100kw for a long time and not for a few minutes.

In Japan there are some 150kW Chademo chargers up to 350A. Here Leaf e+ can charges with 100kW.

Here is Leaf e+ charging ~100kW from a 150kW chademo in Japan: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/rI-caX6PfZlyt3k.html

@@pashko90 Ours has gone over 75 a few times. I had it charging at 100 for a good few minutes (2nd rapid charge of the day so no rapidgate). I think its charger dependent. I'm surprised Dala says there are no 100's in Finland. There's a reasonable number over 50 in the UK and CHADaMo still going in.

This is an upcoming brand, no testing performed in EU yet. Excpect a 3+month period before software on these units mature enough

@@DalasEVRepair thx for your swift reply

Check this document, it has good info on what software version works on what charger: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18Uqyb2vJoLLAhkaYuRJ3yp8TAK-YEfgthubDkoFBTI4/edit#gid=0

Works on the old Mitsubishi Outlander, so hopefully also yhe imiev!

When I got mine a week ago, it didn't work on any of the chargers. Today, it works on 5 out of 8 charger types, and the manufacturer is still sending updates. Keep an eye on the spreadsheet. You might be surprised at how fast new chargers get supported.

@The18107j I am doing many tests and log-files since the last months. I know all the issues and how fast the manufacturer is reacting and doing new firmware. But we are not typical customers that only want to use it. I lo e yo see the advantages that where done, it should mentioned as it is for now. It's not a final product

Looks like people are paying the manufacturer for doing beta tests for him 😂

@wojciechtreter7808 yes that's true. But without us testers it would never be possible for the manufacturer to test all chargers. Don't forget, this is reverse engineering without any support of chademo and ccs consortium

Yep, that's why the adapter should be much cheaper at this moment, since you not getting a finished product but actually take part in development, bringing value to the manufacturer.

I disagree. I had the same thoughts as you, but the real solution is adapters like this one are a better solution as long as the price goes down. One of these adapters could be used for more than one vehicle which would be better than having it tied to one car. Imagine your LEAF gets destroyed in an accident, you could sell your adapter or get another car that could use it.

This is all just increasingly worse levels of nonsense. You already know the Muxsan conversion is really expensive and out of your budget, what makes you think someone else doing it will be significantly cheaper? How is it the manufacturer's problem to RECALL cars? Should Apple recall all iPhone 14 because of people who remorsed over not waiting for the 15 for USB-C? Paint all EVs with one brush just because of an "issue" that affects one model based on a very dated platform? If it doesn't suit your needs and you have to go back to ICE that is fair enough, but don't go looking for excuses to blame others as if somehow your problem is their fault and responsibility.

@@ashton9699 all USB connectors are not obsolete, one can still buy them all brand new, plus companies like Muxan charges way too much for simple things out of greed. its ridiculous and someone needs to put companies that do that crap out of business. also plus car manufacturers are responsible for their products (they should be) this planned obsolescence crap is a serious problem and is illegal in some countries, why not all? just saying.

Legal questions aside, full plug/protocol conversion kits willl become more of a possibility as a) J3400 inlets become available in the market and b) the open source (focci / ccs32clara) PLC projects mature and our understanding of charger behavior progresses

I live in Florida and am testing the same unit at the moment

I have a 2011 Leaf with CHAdeMO (it doesn't work with the adapter, but that's a different issue). I think there were a few Leafs over the years sold cheaper without the DC charging port. It might be possible to pay someone to add one, but it would likely be more expensive than selling your Leaf and buying a different one with a DC port.

I don't think that is technically possible and I also don't see why they would like to sell less electricity. The adapter causes no harm to the charger

@EngineersFear it is so easy to block the Adapter, beleve me. We all ha e the same MAC. And no manufacturer allows Adapter. And by the way, every Adapter in causing errors due to the current Adapter. These errors are reported to the backend. I know ow it . And all these errors can initiate a service that costs money . Ergo no provider loves these adapters.

@@EngineersFear Johannes, you have a huge knowledge about ccs2chademo, as you build your own one. I know that you don't want to produce it for public because of all that CE and insurance stuff. But maybe you could help with your huge knowhow to get it more reliable 😉

@@kiaev6familyOur knowledge is open source, they have to go through the effort of "stealing" it themselves ;) re MAC address: it's configurable and even works when randomized re errors: I wouldn't be at all surprised if certain cars create all sorts of incidents. Who wants to go through all these?

@@EngineersFear that’s true, MAC can be changed easily. But the Chinese reality is one for all 😂 The cars create less problems than expected. The adapter generates currently many reports to the providers. Funny fact, when you stop the charging session at Alpitronic (sw 2.6.3) it quits it with a short red light around the CCS port. Can also seen at the logs of the station.

How many times in earth history has a private individual had to pay 60.000 for trying to charge their car? This seems like a very specific number, so it would seem you have an example?

@@geirmyrvagnes8718 how many times on earth has someone damaged a rapid charger by using an imported unapproved CCS to CHAdeMO adapter? It hasn't happened to my knowledge but if or when it does, we don't know what the owner of the unit would do.

If it bricked the charger, that's down to the charger manufacturer not making it robust enough. Also chargers are repairable - you wouldn't scrap it if it had a fault

@@mikeselectricstuff the costs you'd potentially be liable for aren't just for the hardware - if it's out of service for a month waiting for repair then that's another cost. I'm not saying you'd definitely get sued, it wouldn't be a good look for a charger operator to go after a customer, but I also wouldn't want to risk using an adapter unless the operators were accepting of it.

@@-cc9ye To be a bit mean, it doesn't seem to bother some charging operators that much that a charger is out of service a month or two. 😆 They cashed in the tax money/contribution to put it up, it is part of the coverage map they can brag with, and they are not making all that much net profit from actual usage, anyway.

Not my adapter dude! I hope so too, 3 companies will have adapters for sale soon!

@@DalasEVRepair the minimum order quantity is the most annoying thing Who buys 2, especially at that price, those clowns are literally telling people not to buy it
