What do you think of this Joy All 100v/200v EVSE charging cable?

[Rational]

Hi guys,

I came across this inexpensive 200v EVSE charger. What do you think of it from looking at the sales page info?

Says it works on the Nissan Leaf as well. Which I also have.

Joy All Electric Car Charger, 110V-240V SAE J1772 EV Charging Cable, 4 Current Modes Switchable, 8A/10A/13A/15A, Electric Car Charging Cable Length 7.6 Meters, 100V/200V Converter Adapter and 5-15P​

Better options out there?

My 2011 i-miev charging cable is just a bare cable. No box in the middle with status lights like my Leaf charging cable. Do you know if they're interchangeable? Or if the i-miev can at least use a Leaf cable with the status box?

I'm thinking of getting this Joy All so I can mount it in an exterior IP67 rated box to make it easier for my wife to charge both cars.

This is the EV outlet on our house: I need to look up the actual NEMA outlet type/number.
Panasonic model number on it is wk4322s.

Not sure but i think the 2011 uses the plain EVSE cable with no control box. The resistors for comm with the OBC are embedded in the handle, along with a temperature sensor.

Hopefully someone with an early model will chime in about using a full-blown EVSE.

@alviseven had a 2011 I-Miev that wouldn’t charge on a ‘granny lead’, he then took the OBC out of a 2010 non-runner and eventually managed to get it working but with the ‘straight’ cable only. He then swapped back the original 2011 OBC and the car now charges again with an EVSE (‘brick’ type only).

There was talk that some early models could use both ‘brick’ or ‘non brick’ leads, however this claim seems to be unsubstantiated (so far), and the EVSE suggested is most likely not going to work out with @Rational ’s car

Mine would not charge on the house project ev charger with the earlier 2010 registered obc. Runs fine with original 2011 obc. Likewise leads were not interchangeable.

Just so I'm understanding correctly, is a '2010 registered obc' one with a control box with status lights? Mitsubishi branded?

And your 'original 2011 obc' is just a straight cable?

Were they interchangeable between the two cars?

Ever tried a Leaf charger cable on your miev and vice versa?
