That said (below), what if it was not an installation? That is: the non-UL approved EVSE was not mounted like an installation, but in use like the level-1 EVSE most drivers carry with them (an in-line EVSE that connects to an outlet and the vehicle http://www.plugincars.com/sites/default/files/evse-g2h-ug-bright-620.jpg http://chargeny.com/uploads/monthly_04_2013/ccs-1-0-68586100-1366121335.jpg ). I am thinking: Use a dryer or range outlet (6-20, 6-30, 10-30, 14-30; 10-50, 14-50) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/NEMA_simplified_pins.svg The non-UL approved EVSE should have the appropriate plug on it, so when you come home, you plug it into the outlet and the vehicle in the same way that you would a level-1 EVSE that comes with a production plugin http://www.totalhomesupply.com/v/vspfiles/templates/ths/images/dryer.gif As previously posted, it still wouldn't be 'legal' in those cities that require UL approved EVSE, but it would not be an installation, just a use of an outlet. I suppose if a driver wanted to take an additional step to keep from being thought illegal, keep the non-UL approved EVSE in the vehicle, and only run the AC-input cord out to the outlet.
