When you signup on the website they give you a card which is read by the charging station. The charging station owner can set the pricing, it might be 2 bucks just to plug in, or charged based on consumption, or free. We have a few at work.Just talked to one of my suppliers about this plug. He said someone installed one near their office. I may make one of those pigtails to carry with me. How does it work, you feed it like a parking meter? lol![]()
Here is the link:Nice! Where did you get the plug from?

What connects to pins 3, 4 and 5 and what is supposed to happen?![]()
Note: This is the pin side view, the wires come out the other side
I plan on buying a waterproof enclosure soon!
Is that for level II/240v charging?
Doesn't the J1772 spec also include level I/120v charging? Anyone know how specify voltage to the charging station?
Pin 3 is the common (and ground)What connects to pins 3, 4 and 5 and what is supposed to happen?

And what is the website? Thanks.When you signup on the website they give you a card which is read by the charging station. The charging station owner can set the pricing, it might be 2 bucks just to plug in, or charged based on consumption, or free. We have a few at work.
Maybe you should attach a handle to the back of your plug box to give you something to grip.As a side note, if you use the J1772, make a box big enough to get a firm grip. It takes a stupid amount of force to unplug the J1772. Perhaps my plug and receptacle are still getting broken in, it almost requires two people. I would use a sturdy enclosure!
the grip would have to mount to the lid, the four tiny screws that hold the lid on would probably tear though. The plastic box is already getting deformed from the grip required.Maybe you should attach a handle to the back of your plug box to give you something to grip.

I considered this and decided to install the J1772 connector in the vehicle for added safety and to prevent theft of the adapter box.Hey Guys,
Sorry, Not to be pa*n but do you think this setup on the picture a bit unsafe....
I met to say that we have to worry about bystanders to start lawsuits, they could use unapproved plug as an excuse... to get some moneyDo you think it's safe to work on 170V+ DC battery packs? Lots of things we do isn't as safe as we'd like and certainly it isn't wise to kick caution to the wind but you have to be practical. I'm buildind the same setup but with a longer cord from the vehicle to the "box" so I can leave the box in the back of my truck or on the ground. It is in a weather resistant box so that is a plus.
Agreed... Good setup. The regular plug end could be hidden behind closed door, witch is locked too... I hope... like http://www.coulombtech.com/I considered this and decided to install the J1772 connector in the vehicle for added safety and to prevent theft of the adapter box.
The cordsets on the right are for charging at home from 120 or 240V.
