I hope drivers that have added-on/upgraded to have a j1772 charging
ability will post what and where they bought their components and give
their comments.
Using a j1772 is going to be more involved than just plugging into a
(dumb) outlet. Besides the charger(s), you need to have a circuit board
in between the j1772 port and the on-board charger that
tells/handshakes-with the public EVSE that it is OK to provide power.
I suggest you mount your J1772 port(s) in front, as that will give the
most 'reaching the EVSE' ability (sometimes EV spots are ice'd or the
spot is used by a plugin that is already fully charged, and you have to
park along side it to mooch-some-juice). IMO putting the port on the
side or in the gas inlet is silly and inefficient. In the U.S., public
EVSE are in front of the parked plugin (I can understand that in a Euro
street EVSE configuration, having a side port would be advantageous. But
in the U.S. street EVSE are positioned to be in front of the vehicle).
