It is looking like building my own EVSE is the way to go. I'm perfectly comfortable putting together wiring and following instructions. I am not a computer person or electronic technician.
My thought is to buy this kit from the Open EV Store:
http://openevse-store.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/openevse-30a-charge-station-combo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I believe I will also need a box and the charging cord/plug.
I have spent quite a few hours surfing the forum, but still have a few questions. My car is a 2013 "S" with the 6.6 charger. I am running 8/2 wire to the garage, and have a 40 amp circuit breaker. I will probably wire it with a plug so I will have the option of taking the charger with me if I ever want to.
Is that everything I will need? Are the instructions clear and detailed? Do you ecommend anyting different?
I am open to all suggestions, advice and criticisms. I apologize in advance if I am asking questions already answered in the forum.
Thanks.
