We just did this to our shop Avcon last week.
It was about a 1/2hr job.

Hi "LoveMyLEAF"
I too have an AVCON charging station that I plan to convert to the new
J1772
(AVCON was the old J1772 standard, that is why the wires and signals in
the
connector are the same, only the mechanical interface changed and the
range
of pilot signal duty cycle and current supplied has been expanded in the
new version of the standard)
I will use the pictorial and very clear explanation from this page:

If you still have questions after reading that, let us know and we can
probably help you.
Are you familiar with soldering? Else you might want to have someone do
that for you, since the soldering is carrying the current. Some EVSE
manufacturers are now infamous for damaging Leaf charging inlets,
probably because their cable is not properly soldered and the high
contact resistance causes heat which can damage the connectors. This is
not different from the problem that many conversions had to deal with,
where regular extension cords caused their connectors to heat up due to
marginal construction. Heat can contribute to early demise of the
connectors. So do monitor the temperature of your plug while the car is
charging: lay your hand on the plug about 5 min and again 1/2 hour after
start of charging and you will know if it stays cool and happy.
Success,

Subject: Re: [EVDL] Avcon to J1772 Yazaki connector conversion
I would GREATLY appreciate (monetarily compensate if needed) any advice
or
brief phone consult on HOW TO DO Avcon to j1772. Hopefully, no board
work is
needed.
I have a EVI DS 100 which I would like to change out to a J1772
connector,
for my 2011 Nissan LEAF. Appears similar to the attached but would like
to
verify a few pinouts.
Any help greatly appreciated, and (monetarily compensate if needed). 5
minutes on the phone is likely all it would take.
I certainly understand the 2 110v hots and green ground (and I think the
Avcon blue line is ALSO the LEAF blue line, but there are some other
wires
and pins in the hub that I don't know how or what to do with.
Cordially,
--
