This? http://www.juice-technology.com/en/p...uice-booster-2
Looks interesting although it doesn't mention the Leaf and has a Type 2 connector (Leaf has Type 1 and Chademo). I have heard of people using the blue 'Commando' 16A outputs that come on campsites, and in race paddocks by the sound of it. If I were to enter something in the Leaf I'd look into that further.

Having been quite successful in the Impreza in this year's Pom though, and enjoying wringing its neck, I'll probably give it another go in that first. Will see if the 2018 regs include a mention of the conversion factor for EVs and then decide if it's worth trying it in the Leaf.
