For Sale 40A EVSE less J1772 cable I have an OpenEVSE L2 40A unit with a RGB display with a RTC. It consists of a 50A 4 foot range cable with a 14-50 plug, a DIY ver 2 main board, a 63A contactor, a multi function meter, a 12V power supply with a 5V regulator, a MOV protection board with power...

The 14-50 has massive contacts. Mine does not get warm charging at 40A. At 24A it would be the coolest part in the system. It is dual rated for 40A or 50A. Even a 40A range cord only gets warm at 40A so I assume at 24A it is golden. A 30A cord would work with the neutral removed( different shape).

I built an OpenEVSE for a man to use with his dryer circuit. He is happy with it charging his Leaf at 24A instead of 27A. Any car that follows the J1772 specifications will work fine and that is most cars. Certainly Tesla based cars like the RAV4 EV follow it.

White is 16 FT. gray is 24 feet. That is the older colors. SINCE UV discolors the white the later ones are black. The whole 24 ft cable is sometimes on Ebay for $100. That is what I paid for a Chargepoint (Yazaki) cable. Tony's $75 is a great deal. Go for it!

I listed a OpenEVSE unit for sale on the Mercedes B forum. Many times it is not accessible so instead of a link I am posting directly. I build OpenEVSE units when I can get a good price. In this case I purchased a used ChargePoint (Yazaki) 24 foot #10 condusctor 30A cable from eBay for $100...

Windshields are not covered lease or not. I had a new 4Runner that cracked from a stone at 33 miles on the way home. My insurance only covers it over the $500 deductible. Needless to say I paid Safeco and not the dealer. My B has a $900 heated windshield with no generic available. I dread the...

I have always had a "ham" radio installed in my car. When the 12V battery failed in my Leaf of course it was caused by my radio. They did not back off until I pointed out the relay that totally disconnected the unit unless the car was on. I really think mechanics hate warranty work with its low...

Assuming proper construction 40A is 40A. The advantage of the JESLA is that it is small and it is easy to transport but really pricey. It sets its power by the plug used. The OpenEVSE and JuiceBox can be set for the available current. On MNL a person said that the GE unit has dip switches to...

This is sold, Thanks Glenn

I had a 1974 Alfa 2000 GTV. When it ran it was a fun car. It made me late for work on several occasions. No one should own an Italian car without a backup car.

I have retired from building OpenEVSE's but Tony had a black friday special on a 25 foot 40A J1772 cable at about $45 off so I purchased one. I had all of the other parts on hand so the price is low. This consists of an OpenEVSE DIY ver 2 main board, a dual voltage supply, a 12V relay board to...

According to your Amazon link only the hard wired version is weatherproof for outside use. The plug version is for indoor use such as a garage wall. I think the cleanest fix is to replace the existing cord with a short 4 wire 50A range cord. That gets you a nice molded plug instead of the...

If you are in OC near Disneyland I have a spare 14-50 plug you can have for free. I certainly will not deliver it to SD. It was a TRW swap meet find and I think I paid $3 for it.

I read this forum daily. I tried to buy one of the last RAV4 EV's but the Toyota dealer had no interest in my Leaf as a trade-in. Given the free fall in the Leaf's value I do not really blame them. On the other hand the Long Beach Mercedes dealer made me a deal on their slow moving B class...

I stopped making EVSEs when Mike the forum owner deleted all of my posts on My Nissan Leaf and he wanted to have me sign up as a commercial vendor. Since I was building them as a hobby and selling them at cost that option was out. Since I was making them as a service and to keep busy in my...

Most high end custom car sound shops should be able to fix you up. They commonly carry Dynamat or equivalent. As a strictly DIY job Ingineer has used window and door flashing from Home Depot for a much cheaper not quite as effective substitute. Dynamat is quite expensive when you consider doing...

For a DIY type if you construct an OpenEVSE with display you can set the current in 2A steps from 10A on L2. http://store.openevse.com/

Many public safety sites run from a full time UPS. The Long Beach Signal Hill site runs from a 450V battery bank. It is normally charged by Edison but in the event of power failure there is a 25K generator to power it. Powered this way there will never be a power interruption or loss of...

I really liked the display. The only problem is that it is large and it requires a large box.

OpenEVSE has supported a Real Time Clock for quite some time. I use mine to start charging at 5 minutes past midnight. The defaults are set at 5 past midnight and 5 before 7AM. You can set any start and stop times. The way this works is that it opens up a charging window. The car should easily...
