    Looks like the end-of-charge command took a few extra zero crossings to reach that third phase.

    Thanks. I could see even a 2% loss, multiplied by the entire population, as being a very large quantity of energy.

    Nice! :)

    Interesting. I'm assuming this only exists in an ideal mathematical equation, as a zero gap would invite conduction.

    Hahaha! I like it! :D
    (just be sure to put the garage door up ahead of time and let the gas fumes diffuse out (a difference in temp inside the garage and out should cause the outside air and inside air to trade places within a matter of minutes) IN FACT, I WOULD GUESS THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHY NISSAN HAS DECIDED TO USE THE INDUCTION PADDLE ... just in case someone decides to park a gas guzzling Prius next to the Leaf and fills the garage up with gas fumes.

    Nissan is using the J1772 standard just like the Volt and the PHEV Prius are. It's now an official SAE standard. The older GM EV-1 and the RAV4 EV used these inductive paddles at one time, as far as I know they have not been used in any recent models.
