Something I found on YouTube not long ago -- a series of videos describing an EVSE that works with NO relays, nor anything else interrupting the flow of power from the source. It does all the signalling, but it doesn't actually shut off the current at any point. And I wondered... is that a legitimate interpretation of J1772? And whether it is or not -- will it always work, in practice? Insight appreciated.
I'm not sure where to find an overall list of the videos, or a web page dedicated to the device, but here's one video:

(I think the fact that he ended up using an Arduino slightly undermines the "minimalist" description, and I'm not digging the batteries, but it's still a very interesting device.)
