How To Charge A Nissan Ariya and Nissan LEAF On A Tesla Supercharger

[@im4udevco]

For the life of me, I'm befuddled as to why Nissan Leaf didn't switch the CCS1 for NA. If they had switched and added an active cooling for their BMS in the Leaf, it would have been a winner for low cost EV with the Bolt EV. Let's hope they survive. Thanks Tom and I'm always learning every time I watch your channel.

[@EVVolksmanID.4]

As a former owner of a 2011, 2105 and 2019 Nissan Leafs I could not understand why they would not upgrade them. They were terrific cars. I guess making these types of changes was just too costly? Once the battery heated up from one DC fast charge any attempt to do a second fast charge was agonizingly slow. Only did one road trop really in the 2019 and my wife wasn't happy.😂

[@DonBarthel]

​​@@EVVolksmanID.4with the 62kWh LEAF, you can do two fast charges in a day before the charging speed slows appreciably. That's good for about 500 miles a day, assuming a level 2 to 100% overnight.

[@GROGU123]

Neither the Leaf or Bolt are designed to be road trip cars. You're supposed to just commute and charge at home. They are extremely outdated with their electronics.

[@jrghays46]

​@@GROGU123 The Bolt can be road tripped fairly painlessly these days. If you don't drive a Kia or Hyundai, 45 mins at a fast charger is not unusual. In that same time span, the bolt can typically fast charge enough to make it to the next waypoint. The charge rate is not impressive, but the battery is fairly small at 66kwh and that somewhat compensates for the low charge rate. Someone in an Equinox or Lightning capped at 150 kw peak rate will end up plugged in just as long as the bolt owner.

[@TheamazingKSullivan]

The pin is actually to lock the NACS side of the adaptor, so it’s impossible to disconnect the NACS plug when the adaptor is plugged into the car.

[@lemongavine]

Sounds like an important safety feature and one in which the other manufacturers should include

[@GregHassler]

​@@lemongavinethe other manufacturers accommodate the same thing in a different way. This is just the way Tesla designed it. The Lectron, for instance, has its own separate latch for the NACS plug, and if you press that button to release it, charging will stop immediately. Similar on the A2Z, where the single latch is integrated into releases on both sides. None of the adapters are able to be just pulled out while charging.

[@lemongavine]

@@GregHassler great. Thanks!

[@robsquared2]

The adapter chain reminds me of that old picture of someone converting something like usb to ps2 to serial to parallel.

[@nevco8774]

There is a difference: Nissan, I guess for cost cutting, has shot itself into the foot by modifying CCS1 port leaving the space between 2 DC fast charging pins on the port empty using just a sliver of plastic around the pins. That is not exactly CCS1. You can't have any modifications in USB or PS2 ports or plugs, and those to be able to still work.

[@adrianastephens5145]

I had never heard of the Ariya until 5 days before I purchased one! I was shocked and impressed with EVERYTHING about the ARIYA. I Wasnt even considering an EV. I was looking into hybrids toyota and honda but then a thought went through my head. "does nissan have a hybrid?" I found out they don't, but oh boy when i saw the ARIYA, I became obsessed.. lol There are so many excellent USED 23 Ariyas out there just sitting on the lots for less than half the MSRP! I wish everyone would look into it to make sure the market stays good for Ariyas and we have many many years of support from Nissan and/or Honda if they merge.

[@kellenniles4581]

I have a Leaf with an A2Z CCS to Chademo adapter and the Tesla NACS to CCS adapter and putting those together I have never gotten it to work (I was at a station that supported other vehicle brands). Also every time I tried it, my Leaf would throw up a EV System fault light afterwards until I turned my car off and back on again. Otherwise my A2Z adapter works amazing and I haven't used Chademo in months, if this adapter ever breaks I'm completely screwed.

Tom, in the video with the Cyber Pizza truck you mentioned you had an Italian restaurant in Montclair? Was it on Valley Road near Tierney's? This video is bringing back fond memories. You installed one of the first level two chargers there back in 2011 or there about. We had a 2011 Nissan Leaf and it had like 75 miles of range. We couldn't make it from Basking Ridge to Montclair and back so we would stop at your restaurant and eat and charge the car. My wife remembers you had bottles with corks on the tables? And you had gluten free food. She is on a gluten free diet. You had a BMW with EV graphics on the side? This was you I hope? 😂You are definitely the OG of EV's! We have come a long way since 2011!

that little push pin in the tesla adapter also locks the switch that allows you to disconnect from the super charger. so when it is connected to the vehicle it is not possible to remove the supercharger handle before removing the adapter.

I was at a Gen 4 Supercharger yesterday & for some reason the magic dock was not enabled. It said I could charge if I had an adapter. Just off I-35 at Lamoni , Iowa.

[@agentcarder]

Maybe due to recall on magic docks right now

[@mongo64071]

I hope that the magic dock plug becomes the standard for chargers so we all don’t need to pay $235 more for an adapter. I mean no one pays for an adapter for a gas tank to fill up at a gas station. That detail should be provided by the charging station if they want customers.

It probably won't. It adds complexity and cost. The companies would prefer to move that cost to you. That sucks, but that's business...

[@mongo64071]

[@techismycologne]

Now this makes me wonder - can you use native Magic-Dock chargers with the built in adapter without the gap filler? Is the adapter on magic dock different and lacking this pin?

[@UpcraftConsulting]

Magic dock is different. It locked to the tesla handle before releasing so did not need this pin. Many Aria owners have used magic dock without issue. The magic dock cannot release until paired back in the dispenser cradle so nobody steals it. Like an anti theft tag from a store it needs that special tool to unlock.

[@barryw9473]

Volvo dealers in SF Area do not yet stock adapter.

[@BozarthPrime]

It is very frustrating how much Nissan has been hanging Leaf owners out to dry with the changing fast charger ports. They made a choice to stick with the CHAdeMO and so many people bought the car because it is a great little car and made an assumption that since no one in the NA market was making a decision on things that it would eventually get sorted and adapters would happen but here we are. The only adapters Leaf owners get are 3rd party ones.

[@jsmedicalassisting6000]

Can you show a video of charging a Ariya on Tesla if you get a chance

[@RONderluck]

You’re joking right?

[@EricDrummondBPCP]

So question because prices on the Nissan Aria are pretty good. I've been looking at this along with the Chevy bolt uv but question that little plastic piece it's not going to break over time. If you leave it in the charge port like if I don't want to keep putting it in and taking it out, can I leave it in the charge port and it won't it won't break over time or wear out over time? Will it? Great video by the way. Keep up the great work and have a good one. Lol. Those two combinations for the Nissan leaf look like a old school dust vacuum. Like when you want to get the stuff out the couch lol

[@Jeddin]

The instructions say to leave it in the port. Its not supposed to be removed once put in. Theres no reason either to ever take it out anyway

[@EricDrummondBPCP]

@Jeddin okay so once it's in place you're not really supposed to take it out but it's not going to break over time. Is it? Because I'm getting to feeling that over time and it being plastic it might break. But thanks for that response. I appreciate it because like I said, I've been looking at the Aria and I've been looking at the euv and I plan to do mostly home charging. But if there's ever an instance where I might need to use a supercharger, there's way more superchargers around my house than anything else.

[@Jeddin]

@ it shouldnt break. Its just a space occupier in a space where nothing should ever touch it except that small depressible pin on the Tesla adaptor. I cant imagine anything else ever hitting it forcibly in that area to break it.

[@nhokawa]

@@EricDrummondBPCP It's a very sturdy piece of plastic, I don't think it will ever break. It's also available by itself for $7 if you already have a CCS to NACS adapter.

[@SteveBrooks-v9y]

I'm confused as to why an older (pre-V3) Tesla Supercharger won't charge a Chademo vehicle with a Tesla to Chademo adapter. PLC is not being used, correct, so why? And the same in reverse for the Tesla to Chademo adapter at a NON-Tesla NACS Supercharger station, that won't work either (because it is PLC only), correct?

[@alexmartin831]

The problem is starting the charge. Cannot do it from the Tesla app as you can for v3 and above.

[@Dave_E_M]

Thanks for the update Tom. Has A2Z confirmed that their 2 adapters together will charge a LEAF at a Supercharger?

[@GregHassler]

I don't believe Leafs will be enabled for it. Similar to how Ford Focus Electrics can't charge on Superchargers even though other Ford's can.

[@IronmanV5]

Looks like Nissan & Toyota/Subaru used the same source for their port. Only other EV where there is a space between the DC pins is the Hyundai Kona/Kia Niro. But that's at the top and bottom.

So, do the CCS1 plugs at non Tesla DC chargers have the lower pin? I’ve looked for pictures and all I can find are plugs with no lower pin? Are we being unsafe at these DC chargers? I don’t think so.

[@GregHassler]

No, regular CCS plugs do not have that pin, it's only used on the adapter to secure the NACS plug so it can't be pulled out while the adapter is plugged into the car. Hard to explain but it's just a very simple interlock for the release on the other side.

[@tomgibbs8809]

@, that’s what I’m getting at, theres not really a reason for the pin. The Tesla plug, plus adapter is no heavier than the CCS plug on an EVgo station.

[@OlsenAaron]

Yes, the magic dock uses the same Tesla manufactured NACS to CCS1 adapter as Tom showed in the video

Yes, it is, contrary to how Tom explains it. All the pin does is interlocks the release on the back side of the adapter so you can't press it down and release the NACS plug while the adapter is plugged into the car.

CHADAMO is the main reason Japan refuses to want to produce any decent EV's. CHADAMO is a 50kw standard and, in JAPAN, there are stations virtually everywhere. Furthermore, Japan is not a "driving" country, driving is mostly a city affair, the notion of "road tripping" is thoroughly alien, if you need to travel anywhere you take a fast train and thats it! Clean, very fast and given the superbly extensive city railway system, you don't really need a car unless running errands in town. The notion of a long range EV, that would benefit from very fast charging is a little alien to their whole idea of transportation. It's a pity since that has put the future of their whole auto industry in jeopardy.
