How to charge using Type 2 connector – Nissan Leaf.
A short step-by-step guide on how to charge a Nissan Leaf using a Type 2 (Mennekes or IEC 62196) charging connector.
1. Open the SAE J1772 charge port cover – orange coloured lid
2. Type 2 connector does not fit any Nissan Leaf charge port

6. Fitting is the socket, cable connector is the plug
7. Join the approved fitting and Type 2 cable connector together
8. Ensure the two parts are securely connected
9. Insert J1772 connector into the charge port
10. Leaf will charge as normal

Source: eMotorWerks JuiceJ Type 2 to Type 1 (T2 to T1) fitting approved for use with JuiceBox 40 and JuiceBox 32. It allows a T1 car such as a Nissan LEAF to charge off a JuiceBox’s tethered Type 2 cable. This is a fitting as defined under the electrical regulations, as its not a cable adaptor. However most people would commonly refer to the JuiceJ as a T2 to T1 socket adaptor (as part of the Electric Vehicle not the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment).
