60A 14.4kW Premium OpenEVSE L2 with built in current display & RGB LCD display w/Real Time Clock, v3 Main Board

I bought a 2013 Nissan LEAF and love it! I have a heavy electrical background and was inspired when i saw some DIY units for sale here. Work has been very slow and my employer is still weeks behind in paying the other employee and I. :cry: This has caused a severe financial hardship. It's a very stressfull time with 2 little boys. I need to support my family anyway I can and am hoping to build and sell a few EVSE's. Thanks for reading this, Now on to the fun stuff!!

I have a Premium High Power OpenEVSE for sale I built this one to be the best of the best! its running Chris's latest and greatest version 3 main board now with built in current reading right on the LCD! I used his best LCD the RGB model that changes colors for diferent status and Real Time Clock that allows you to set a delay timer great for those of us that can sign up with discounted night time electic rates. I went with a SHEILDED BMW 60A J1772 23 foot cable. It has a Dolstar 70A plug. This unit operates at 240VAC. This is mounted in a very nice PolyCase WC Series Polycarbonate Enclosure with Clear Cover - NEMA Rated for outdoor use. This unit requires a common NEMA 14-50 outlet for 50A/48A cont. use or can be hard wired for 60A max. The cost is $521 plus $25 for UPS ground shipping in the continential USA. the premium board/lcd/2nd ct xformer and heavy J1772 Whip really add alot to the cost as you can see but make the best unit you can own!

It will charge any J1772 compliant car at up to 60A/48A continuous.

If you would like the unit customized with a twist lock plug for example or something other than the Nema 14-50 plug I can do that for the difference in parts.
I take custom orders for personalized builds, just shoot me a private message or post here and I will be happy to quote you a great price.

This is sold ASIS but I guarantee it will work upon receipt. If you would like to see it in action on your EV we can arrange that thru private message at my home. Local pickup in Las Vegas near Smith's grocery on E Flamingo or near The Strip is available. Payment is by Paypal if shipped or cash for local pickup.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Because of lawyers I have to add this. This EVSE is intended for use ONLY by responsible adults. Because they are hand-made, they are not UL listed - but are made from UL listed parts. 240v electricity is serious business and caution should be exercised while using any EVSE. For safety's sake, do not use this EVSE outdoors in inclement weather unless it is a model that specifically says Outdoor or Waterproof. You should always install a GFCI breaker not a standard one for any and all circuits a person can come in contact with This EVSE has a GFCI built inside that protects from that point down line. (The J plug side of the the EVSE is safe for outdoors in all weather). BY PLACING AN ORDER WITH US, YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH USING THIS EVSE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THEIR USE.
