If I have a 240V EVSE that doesn't have a it's own built in timer, and I put a hanger for the cord on the outside garage wall (with the unit inside the garage), is that wire going to be on/hot or dangerous since the unit is always on? What I mean is, suppose my gardener is out there trimming the hedge or running the weed wacker, and he accidentally clips the wire on the wall during the day, while I'm at work, and it's not plugged into the car or anything. Is he going to light up like a Christmas tree? Or do these EVSE's only supply current when the car talks to them and tells them to turn on?
