Wait, Nissan Leaf is CHAdeMO not CSS no?
OT: Don't you guys have loads of slow chargers at shopping centers and offices? Only rapi charging available publicly?
Yeah you're right it's chademo. I almost never use his car so I wasn't thinking.
Slow charging is publicly available and pretty common but it's usually more expensive or less convenient than charging at home. Charge+ is everywhere but they want triple what I usually pay.
Free public charging is slowly going away. Usually an apartment complex or office is for residents/employees only, e.g. in a private parking garage or at an office parking lot miles from anything fun. Or they just have a sign saying "Residents only. You will be towed.
You'd be surprised how many new charging stations have at least one chademo port. It's nowhere near as ubiquitous as NACS or CCS, but it's enough that I'm generally okay charging my leaf.
