Well this week I decided to 'bite the bullet' and take the leaf on a long journey (90km+) that I obviously couldn't get back from without charging somewhere.
I'd tested the AMPfibian at home so now was the time to rely on it. We'd had a holiday house booked nr Philip Island and I assumed that the place would have no 15A socket so the AMPfibian was my only option.
Got there easily with 40km to spare (after a 100% charge) and to others comments I realise how driving it easily extends the range (easily I mean generally sticking to 2 circles on the dash energy meter, or +1 from the standing still).
Plugged the AMPfibian in to the leaf - and after a good while (probably about a third slower than at home with the charge point) it was fully juiced.
I gotta love the thought that as long as I have the AMP fibian in the back I'm good to go anywhere ....

Good to see someone put this system to the test at a holiday home. May not be so practical if staying at a motel, as unable to guarantee the circuit won't be overloaded.

This is why forums are great. I didn't realise there was an adaptor like the AMP fibian. This could come in handy. Have placed my order.

I use mine almost daily at my work place. I got the RV-PLUS. I thought I might need a waterproof version sometime. I'm planning on plugging into an outlet in the carpark at work. I tried using it the other day and realised that my Leaf charger didn't fit. Came to this forum and found this thread. Voila! 10A to 15A adaptor ... Nice. |

Does the weather proof plug on the Nissan evse fit within the Rv-plus box ? Not really but I use it anyway. |

With an extension I presume?
Yours is the original ampfibian phoebe?
I don't like the new ampfibian max metal plate.
But I do like the rectangular cable lock design.
Will wait till Bunnings gets the Rv-plus in.

I bought mine 3 years ago, and squeezed it in without an extension. If I need to use it again I will get an extension - much safer.
