    OpenEVSE - Open Source Charging Station

    Hi all - hope it was OK to post this as a reply on the OpenEVSE sticky. I have three questions; any insight / advice is greatly appreciated! 1) I have an OpenEVSE box from 2014 and rarely have had to open it. I had to replace the fuses recently, and when I opened it up, some white fluffy...

    Chicagoland area

    Congrats! I'm in Schaumburg too, we got our red 2013 leaf from Greg at woodfield Nissan last year.

    outlets at Millenium Garage, downtown Chicago

    Has anyone used the charge point outlets at Millenium garage? I assume they are outlets, there are two reserved spaces and small metal fixtures with locking lids on the wall, too small to house a J1772 plug.

    OpenEVSE: enclosures from Diversified Stage?

    GlennD, I agree they're probably a tiny company; I wouldn't have ordered the unit if the website hadn't shown one unit in-stock at the time. However, regardless of how small the company is, I think they should respond in a timely manner. I've sent several emails and called numerous times...

    OpenEVSE: enclosures from Diversified Stage?

    Has anyone ordered enclosures from Diversified Stage recently? I placed an online order a couple weeks ago for an internal enclosure; they billed my credit card a couple days later but I haven't gotten any information other than an email indicating this is in process. I've emailed sales &...
