The AC charger on my 2011 Leaft just stopped working.

Great compact vehicle. Impossibly wonderful

An old 296A0 charger that I can install myself is what I'm after. Is anyone available to fix or refurbish these devices?

Who has attempted this? Do you have any suggestions or recommendations?

Anyone have the owner's handbook for this vehicle that they're willing to share?

Much obliged.

If you post the same thing more than once, you won't get many responses.

I normally wouldn't suggest another forum on this one, but if you're looking for specific instructions on how to replace the charger in a Leaf, you might want to look elsewhere.

Although there are a handful of technically savvy individuals who have experience fixing electric vehicles (like me - I replaced the gearbox on my Leaf and fixed the onboard charger on my Peugeot Ion, among other things), I would argue that most of the posters here are simply EV drivers who either don't do repairs themselves or only perform basic car maintenance like changing the brakes.

If you do not receive a response here, you may want to visit https://mynissanleaf.com/, where you will find a wealth of technical information regarding DIY repairs and reverse engineering.

Hope everything works out.

Thanks for the helpful link! I'm thinking of purchasing a 2016-2017 Leaf with a weak 24kw battery, adding a 60kwh pack, and driving it to exhaustion while taking advantage of the £20 annual tax, approximately 200-mile range, and purchasing a CCS adapter.

Please keep us updated on the outcome.

While you're at it, you could recycle the 24 kWh LEAF's old cells into a residential battery pack:

Much obliged.

Transitioning from 24 to 60 kWh significantly alters the perception of an older Leaf, particularly with the inclusion of CCS and the reduced Road Tax.
