Not really. It might not be so much doom as practicality and legality. Reality is reality.
> All safety features required by SAE J1772, UL and NEC are standard.

Is it "UL Listed"? No. That's the end of it. There is no getting around that neither my city will permit this nor my electrician will install it no matter how much I protest that it's unfair. Sure, I could use it temporarily (not installed) or install it illegally without a permit but on sale of such a property, I would have to remove it to avoid it being discovered during an inspection.
If the important components and/or assembled kits passed Underwriters Laboratories' official tests and processes for listing, then my municipality wouldn't object and would take this seriously.
- gorkish 2y agoI'm not advocating for the system in the linked article; it is a hobby project, but not yet a viable platform that should be used unattended or built buy unqualified hobbyists. I would add that I support the author's right to build it and distribute the designs regardless. OpenEVSE v4 hardware (which I did advocate elsewhere) is UL listed and more closely matches with the goals of an open and accessible platform with a safe and tested design for those who wish to tinker with monitoring or software systems integrations. Please stop being such a stick in the mud; its a boring way to live. "Reality is reality", bah.
