I know this is totally dumb, but just out of sheer curiosity, what happens if I bypass the EVSE? As in, I fashion my own J1772 connector with a 5-15P on the other end?
I'm not going to do this, I'm just actually curious what the charger would do. Theoretically, it would do nothing without the pilot signal.
Now lets get even worse. I get me a cheap arduino for $5, and send the pilot signal. Is this effectively a "normal" EVSE without any safety features?
