This is for contractors. It's long (I have not finished it) but appears to be a good primer for chargers.

It is good but, it advocates steps that might not be necessary.
That makes me wonder how much you would save with making your own EVSE?

There seems to be a fair bit of room to cost reduce from what is available now. Getting down to under half the current prices seems doable.Originally Posted by W.Petefish

A fair bit of the cost is still the plug end. It will be nice when you can find good quality J1772 plugs for well under $100...
...in a bin at Home Depot or AutoZone.
A Leaf friend bought his EVSE at Lowes.

I find that hard to believe.

EVSE to be Available at Lowes
I think you could build your own for under $500... (But what is all the labor worth?, and you won't have a well tested, certified product...)Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse to start selling GE’s Wattstation electric car chargers...should sell for about $1000 USD...
Same reason I bought the Roadster over a conversion that I liked the looks of better.
