Electricity is scary!
240 is really scary!
So my local building department required an additional disconnect switch directly adjacent to my EVSE. After all, the main panel is twelve (12) feet away from the AV unit.
My electrician patiently explained that the AV unit was hard-wired, met UL listing requirements under NEC, was basically designed as a safety device that would not energize unless it received a signal from the vehicle, et cetera.
Building department called back to affirm that they wouldn't approve without a dedicated disconnect.
And of course in the world of the petty tyrants who end up as being building inspectors, it is less expensive to comply than to argue.
