Got a Zoe, might get a Leaf second hand - charging?
Discussion

Thinking about going all electric, but the Leaf is a better deal second hand by the look of it. And we have a Zoe type 2 charger at home.
Is there a way to convert or should I be looking at getting a second charger?
doesn't the leaf have a type 2 socket as well as the fast charging socket?Is there a way to convert or should I be looking at getting a second charger?
Does your charger have a tethered cable or a tpe 2 socket? If a socket then you can use it with both.
If you get a leaf with the 6.6 charger it will come with a type2 -> type1 snyway, otherwise they are about £100.
But if your existing charger has a fixed cable then you're stuck. The grants apply per car though.

What type ie manufacture/brand of charge point do you have already? We've changing tethered charge point cables for customers who got the 'free' chargers installed in 2013/14 before they had a car and then bought a car with the 'wrong' connection!
But not all allow modifications... And do you have 2 EVs now? If so as mentioned above you can have a second grant (now £700) towards the cost of the second charger if you want to go down that route
