It is very likely to be a high-resistance crimp on either the vehicle
side receptacle or the charger plug. It is more likely to be the charger
plug.
Alternatively, the pins on the vehicle may have been damaged by an
abused charge connector on a public charger. (It happens...)
Both have likely been heat damaged, and will have to both be replaced,
unfortunately. :-(
This happens with some regularity. The port gets quite a workout. The
charger connectors get some serious abuse.

Hey all,
Went out to find my J1772 EVSE melted to my charge port.
Nothing on my Nissanleaf.com, nor YouTube about installing $600 replacement
harness and charge port.
Given that Nissan wants 1200 shop time, I’m curious as to see if that’s a
legit 8-10 hour process. And given the possibility it might happen 8 years from
now, I’d like to do it myself next time.
Ideas?
