I ask again. Is it a relay or a contactor? And before you answer, remember
that a relay is tested to a different set of requirements than a contactor.
The problem with a solid state relay is not the failure mode but the fact

Robert,
full galvanic isolation requires a mechanical relay in the EVSE,
as the failure mode of a "solid state relay" (fancy words for
essentially a transistor) is to fail "ON"

I looked at the pictures and wondered the same - if the yellow cord was
the connection
between car and EVSE then the only way the EVSE coud set the car on fire
would be burning bits t
ect power in failure situations.

What does the EVSE have to do with this? The car makes the decisions.
The EVSE is just a super safe power cord.
