I have another question.
I remember reading that the first gen leaf only had a 3.3kw charger.
From what I understood the fast charge package was the CHAdeMO. Through the j1772 was limited to 3.3kw.

But when I stuck my after market EVSE on my 240v power meter I see the EVSE running at its full rated current of 16 amps, sending it's rated 3.8kw to my leaf, not the 3.3kw I was expecting.
The only reason I got the 3.8kw charger was because I thought the leaf would only accept 3.3kw max.

Does the 2011 and 2012 leaf fast charge package charge faster than 3.3kw through the j1772?
Because I'm searching around on the Internet and the 3.3kw limit for the j1772 on 2011 and 2012 leaf seems to be the consensus?

Because if this thing will charge at 6.6kw I will buy one tonight.
