I used an (older version of) the openevse simulator
http://store.openevse.com/products/ev-simulator-kit
a nema 14-50 receptacle and J1772 inlet of quickchargepower and volt/amp meter of ebay to build a J1772 test box.
used a 6x6x4 box from homedepot
J1772 inlet
Nema 14-50 outlet
position 1: Hooked up but not "connected"
position 2: ev connected
position 3: charging, relay of the evse comes on and powers the volt/amp meter
position 4: vent required
With li-on batteries used in EV's this is normally never needed (sealed batteries)
but with lead acid it might be a valid condition.
position 5: diode check engaged
I can also use the j1772 cable in my home now as a (rather expensive) 240 volt extension cable ;-)
I received a bunch of electronics yesterday, so up to the next project
