No, it does not include anything but the plug and cord. Anyway, to make a slightly more fair comparison, it's $175 for a 30A plug/core. The cheapest OpenEVSE kit is $169 and you still have to do some soldering. And you still don't have an enclosure for it all + misc wire cost and you've already spent $350 if you don't value your time. Pretty easy to see how these are getting marked up to $600 once you factor in some profit on a low-volume product. Expect prices to drop as volumes go up - eventually these will cost around $200, but the volume just isn't there yet. -Dave _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
