if your zoe charge point is tethered u cant use it with the leaf. zoe is type 2 and leaf is type 1 so the front end of the charger is different. hope this helps.
Ah; yes; you’re right ;(
There is an Ecotricity rapid charger not too far from here (we have Ecotricity cards already), and I presume they’ll provide some sort of granny cable; so shouldn’t be a big problem. Thanks for the heads up!
we did it the other way round, ordered the Zoe, and test drove and then had the leaf for an extended test drive.
Did not like the leaf one bit, not comfortable in the slightest the steering wheel hardly moves.
When I enquired, was asked if I could confirm that my house electrics had certified within the last 12 month & that I had a 13A plug within a certain distance from where I’d park the car. No extension leads allowed.
I was told the demo car would come with either a public charging point cable or a 13 A cable not both so not practical for a full weekly test.
As the T&C’s were so prescriptive, I declined their offer of a 7 day drive!!! Nissan’s loss & Renault’s gain!!!
My Leaf came with a granny lead (which I did use with an extension cable, as its the only cable that fit under the front door through the rubber seal!), though we charged at the rapid charger at Chester Services for 90% of the chargers.
Was a fun week; but I’m very glad I picked the ZOE 😀
