Since the title is "build your own" implying a simpler installation, I much prefer the comparably reasonably priced offerings from Splitvolt.
Satisfied customer, no other connection to the company. They also offer different plug sizes right on their website, for those that have less common outlet sizes:

Obviously Chargelab seems to be offering more in terms of having an API and programmability, but this is quite a large jump up from the usual solution of just sticking the charge cable that (possibly) came with the car into the wall. Splitvolt is nice as a solution in the middle in between these two extremes.
- meragrin_ 4y ago> "build your own" implying a simpler installation What? When did "build your own" imply "simpler"? Cheaper maybe, fun, or custom. Never have I associated "simpler" with "build your own".
- pengaru 4y agoDesigns targeting DIY are often simplified for easier build and maintenance by the individual.
- natch 4y agoSimpler than building out Chargepoint or Electrify America for instance. If you read their materials, you’ll see you can go pretty far with what they have. Let us know when you exceed what they have, that will be really interesting to read about! It’s overkill for most people though.
