Just want to throw this out there -- if you see something like this and you just repeat "I heard this is dangerous don't do" -- you're not really adding any signal to the discussion, you're just repeating nth degree beliefs [some happen to be true, many happen to be false].
Better to comment if you have electrical expertise and can articulate a specific risk. Or perhaps maybe a sincere question toward the actual experts (guarantee there are plenty on this forum) about what the failure modes are (e.g. could this overload if it gets wet and the arduino malfunctions?).
- VBprogrammer 2y agoHear hear! The catastrophizing in some of the comments is a bit much. However, there are plenty of gotchas in installing a EV charger, even a commercial off the shelf one. The regulations are generally pretty tight and are intended to protect from fairly unlikely scenarios. Getting earthing arrangement right etc.
- turtlebits 2y agoInstalling an EV charger involves plugging it in. There aren't any gotchas and only requires a NEMA 14-50 receptacle be installed by an electrician and usually requires a permit.
