Another forum member and I are working on understanding the enova panther 120 inverter sufficiently to use it "as is" without modification. We are having great success and it looks very likely that the inverter will be usable with only a few simple CAN messages... I will be posting updates on that work, but in the meantime I have also been investigating the feasibility of replacing the inverter control board with an open source design. The first post here will be my findings so far.

I have some of the Smith documentation on the controller. CAN messages aren’t needed to get the motor running. Another member here has done it on his bench. Let me know if you need a copy of it.

Hi I looked into using public chargers with these vans ,my vans have EDN chargers CMP315 or 313 models. They arrantly support j1772 but require small wiring change to provide proximity and control pilot. I can send on pinout sheet if needed. Also can you send on any smith schematics you have. I have one van I'm planning on splitting for parts and want to reuse them if possible.

My Smith box truck uses I believe uses an EDN CMP326. It doesn't support J1772 at all. I moved the AC wires around for the 2 chargers for single phase (instead of 3 phase), and added an AVC2.r (found on Ebay) to control the proximity and pilot pin. BOOM, J1772 works perfectly.
