You reported on this project back in July, too. It surprises me how durable the Sparrow is. Corbin "hatched" it almost 2 decades ago. I haven't dug too deeply into my ancient archive, but I see EVDL messages about it from 1996. Since the early days it's gained a little space in the back (t

<--The scrubbed HTML attachment from another poster follows--> Has anyone tried to charge a LEAF at greater than 12 amps at 120V? When I was testing my home built EVSE, I did a preliminary test on 120V, but didn't bother changing the pilot to something less than 50A. W

Ah,so the Kia travel charger does not detect 120V input to set its 12A pilot signal pattern, it detects absence of voltage between ground and one phase as "this must be 120V". So, you want to trick the EVSE to think that it can always send the 20A pilot signal even when plugged in to 120V by floati
