SO just hardwire the cord to a240v in a J-box that sounds easy.Rush said:"mitch672" has obvisouly not checked out the specs on the website or else he would have seen the description of the J1772 Adapter Box as Chris did.
By the way Chris, what do you think the 'raw price' of a J1772 inlet is, including, cost, shipping, customs etc? Don't forget that there is a junction box, a switch, a LED, strain relief, 3 ft of #8/3 wire, in addition to the "just some resistors" in my J1772 Adapter Box.
"mitch672" says "None of these is going to help any Leaf owner", I don't see how a J1772 plug that is energized can do anything but help a Leaf owner. There is no need to buy a "Charging Station". And as for the missing parts, the only thing that is missing is a junction box for the 220vac power lines of the J1772 Plug to hook up to. Certainly most of us can do that ourselves, or else know someone with enough electrical skill to do it for them, or using the $$ saved, can pay a qualified electrician to do it.
I'm sorry that I've created all this hassel, I thought that the J1772 stuff I have would be helpful. It's obvious that for some reason I seem to have tread on some toes... I'm not at all sure why, if it is because of my posting to 3 different threads, then I apologize if I have broken the Forum rules.

But I think there's an opportunity here for some DIY-minded geeks. The J1772 plug (with which to charge the LEAF) could be added to a) /replace an existing non-J1772 EVSE cable (thinking Avcon); b) make your own Pilot signal controller+plug; c) existing mobile connector (think Tesla).
sproqitman said:I'm definitely not a DIYer. But what I'm looking for is something with a J1772 plug on one end and a NEMA 6-50 plug on the other end. Something I could use to plug into a 50A circuit at an RV park. Is it possible to make something like that?
Rush,Rush said:Mitch - I guess you still haven't been to http://www.TucsonEV.com and read it... In the first paragraph I state "The Adapter Box contains a pilot signal generator that enables the 220vac in the Charging Station." I don't know how much clearer it can be.....
Yes I've seen the schematic many times in different contexts, it is basicly the same schematic as the J1772 2001 that was used in the AVCON boxes...
And I guess you haven't even checked out the other link in my sig, http://www.TEVA2.com and seen the J1772 page that I have up there, I've been following the J1772 development ever since it was announced that Tucson was going to be part of the rollout of the Charging Stations. I got the standard the day it was published... Jan 15, 2009.
What is your problem?
The problem is solved and we can use the J1772 Charging Stations to charge up our converted EVs...
