Got a Zoe, might get a Leaf second hand - charging?

[lost in espace]

Thinking about going all electric, but the Leaf is a better deal second hand by the look of it. And we have a Zoe type 2 charger at home.

Is there a way to convert or should I be looking at getting a second charger?

doesn't the leaf have a type 2 socket as well as the fast charging socket?

it has a connector that uses chademo and a second type 1 connector that you can use to connect to type 2 charger sockets or a 240vac 3 pin plug - depending upon cable type you have

Does your charger have a tethered cable or a tpe 2 socket? If a socket then you can use it with both.

If you get a leaf with the 6.6 charger it will come with a type2 -> type1 snyway, otherwise they are about £100.

But if your existing charger has a fixed cable then you're stuck. The grants apply per car though.

What type ie manufacture/brand of charge point do you have already? We've changing tethered charge point cables for customers who got the 'free' chargers installed in 2013/14 before they had a car and then bought a car with the 'wrong' connection!

But not all allow modifications... And do you have 2 EVs now? If so as mentioned above you can have a second grant (now £700) towards the cost of the second charger if you want to go down that route
