[size=150][b]40A 9.6kW Level 2 Deluxe OpenEVSE Waterproof Outdoor Charging Station For Sale[/b][/size]

I bought a 2013 Nissan LEAF and love it! I have a heavy electrical background and was inspired when I saw some DIY units for sale here. Work has been very slow and my employer is now months behind in paying the other employee and I. :cry: This has caused a severe financial hardship. It's a very stressful time with 2 little boys. I need to support my family anyway I can and am hoping to build and sell a few EVSE's. Thanks for reading this, Now on to the fun stuff!!

I have a Deluxe 40A 9.6kW OpenEVSE for sale with a Custom 40A J1772 20 foot cable using a 63A plug. 40A 4ft. Power input cable with 14-50 plug. 50A high current contactor. This unit operates at Level 2 on 240VAC. This is mounted in a PolyCase Polycarbonate Enclosure with Clear Cover - NEMA Rated for outdoor use. This unit requires a 50A 240V circuit with a NEMA 14-50 outlet for full 40A potential. However you can dial it back to whatever you have for a supply like a 30A dryer outlet, see below.
Check it out here for current pricing:

Also available in 45A 10.8kW and 50A 12kW versions. (input cable and J1772 cable upgraded, all else the same)

It will charge any J1772 compliant car at up to 40A
The EVSE may be set in multiple steps on Level 2.
Level 2: 6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40A
This advertises the available current to the EV which intern draws what it is designed for. You can go into the menu and set it for less if you take the EVSE on the road with you to fit what you may find in the wild.

I can now customize the firmware to whatever values you like before shipping. I chose these values to give the user flexibility for various outlets found in the wild. I stop at 40A as this is what the cables are rated for. This unit is constructed with 40A components except for the contactor which is 50A. It is designed to plug into a 14-50 outlet protected by a 50A circuit breaker. 40A is 80% of 50A and it is the maximum allowed for the homes outlet as a continuous load.
Specs:
OpenEVSE v.2.5Plus board running newest firmware
All nuts/bolts/washers are [b]STAINLESS STEEL[/b]
The base plate inside is 1/4" thick high quality plexigalss, no thin stuff here.
20ft. Custom 40A J1772 “Whip” with 63A high current plug and PET braided sleeving.
The contactor is a quality 50A 240v unit
The input cable is 40A 4ft. 8ga. with the popular NEMA 14-50 plug. This is the one all the Tesla guys have installed as well as the standard at RV parks!
You can even use the PlugShare app and set the filters to include NEMA 14-50 and see all of them in the country, there are a surprising number of them.
It has a monochrome blue display
I used a [b]metal[/b] blue lighted ring Menu/Select button. With IP65 water resistance rating
Heat shrink tubing used throughout.
All parts are new.

Here is a link to the owner’s manual:

If you would like the unit customized with a twist lock plug for example or something other than the NEMA 14-50 plug I can do that for the difference in parts. In the case of a L6-30 it's no charge and would allow you to use many adapters. I also build custom adapters, see my other thread.

If you would like to see it in action on your EV we can arrange that thru private message at my home. Local pickup in Las Vegas near Smith's grocery on East Flamingo. Payment is by PayPal if shipped or cash for local pickup.

I worked hard on a nice PDF featuring some of the EVSE's I build and accessories. Check it out here for current pricing:

I get a lot of inquires about custom builds. YES I definitely take orders for anything you would like to see in your EVSE. Lead time is only 3 days. Example I can build this one here for the same price and make the Whip longer for well under $2/ft up to 50ft.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Because of lawyers I have to add this. This EVSE is intended for use ONLY by responsible adults. Because they are hand-made, they are not UL listed - but are made from UL listed parts. 240v electricity is serious business and caution should be exercised while using any EVSE. For safety's sake, do not use this EVSE outdoors in inclement weather unless it is a model that specifically says Outdoor or Waterproof. You should always install a GFCI breaker not a standard one for any and all circuits a person can come in contact with This EVSE has a GFCI built inside that protects from that point down line. (The J plug side of the EVSE is safe for outdoors in all weather). BY PLACING AN ORDER WITH US, YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH USING THIS EVSE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THEIR USE.

Those are some impressive builds shown in your Dropbox, Brad. I hope this sideline works out well for you. i-MiEV owners could be particularly interested in an L2 EVSE that works well with our remote control (like only the OEM Panasonic L1 EVSE seems to).

[vegasbrad]

Thanks for the kind words. sounds interesting, what does the remote control do?

[iwatson]

The Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt use a smartphone App that works via internet (onstar) for remote start and pre-heating/pre-cooling the car. Mitsubishi took a different (cheaper) route, the car comes with an RF remote control that communicates with the car over short ranges to monitor battery SOC and to set the car to charge, or for delayed or timed charging events, or to pre-condition the heating or cooling. For some reason, the Mitsubishi remote has problems when used with other than OEM EVSE's. I've not experienced the problem personally but I've read about it on this forum, so I may not be describing the issue correctly.
