it is easy to buy a UL listed cord, a UL listed plug, a UL listed

Just don't try to claim that it is UL listed, UL (and other safety
testing companies) do not work that way.
*I* know better. "UL listed" means you have submitted the complete
product to UL, they have tested to see that it meets the applicable UL
standards, and granted it a listing number. You can confirm that a
product is UL listed online.
But a huge number of "UL listed" products are being sold, where all they
did was use an AC line cord that had a UL label on it (i.e. nothing but
the cord itself is UL recognized). Or, they don't even bother with that,
and simply slap on a phony "UL listed" label. Since UL is an independent
company, and not part of any government agency, it's tough for them to
do anything about it.
In this case, you don't have to *claim* it is UL listed, because all a
building inspector will do is look at the UL labels on the parts, and
will *assume* it is a UL listed EVSE.
