[ref http://modularevpower.com/ Modular EV Power ] This looks like what Tom bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/J1772-UL-75-Amp-Vehicle-Inlet-AND-AVC2-module-/251244113764?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a7f50ef64 J1772 UL 75 Amp Vehicle Inlet AND AVC2 module Jerry mentioned that he wants to keep cost down, so perhaps nice looking door, a ugly but functional design would be to mount the inlet on a strong part of the body, and just use a cheap dust cap to protect the protruding j1772 inlet when not plugged in http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=559 http://www.amazon.com/QC-101-Fernco-1-1-Flexible-Cap/dp/B002KHZCMC QC-101 Fernco 1-1/2" Flexible Cap {brucedp.150m.com} - On Fri, Mar 22, 2013, at 09:48 PM, Tom Keenan wrote: > To add J1772 Level 2 capability to my old Citicar, it required three > items - a 240v charger, a J1772 inlet, and a vehicle-side control board. > > Since I also wanted to use 120v at times, the charger needed to be > multi-volt capable.
