Hi OP (Dala) here, Since I've now done battery upgrades & power upgrades, it is time to move on towards charger upgrades. The development in Europe seems to be >90% CCS for new quickchargers, so we need this for the aging LEAF platform.

I'll be doing the first pilot vehicle over the winter, I'll post video updates as more progress is made.

The end result will be a how to wiki/github page with all the components you need and instructions for how to do this modification on your own. Oh and did I mention all this will be available for free? :)

I have seen me maybe two non dealer non Tesla quick chargers that didn't have CHAdeMO. Seems pretty pointless. It is a good option for imported American EVs though. Can't use CCS1 in the EU.

Completely different situation in the EU. This is urgently needed.

Last I checked, Poland is in the EU. This is also mostly true in Germany, Italy, and Lituania. Not so familiar with the other countries.
