Hey, Rush, way to pickup on the possible solution to the copper theft problem, that leaves the EV free of modification and only requires standard components approved for EV charging EVSE and EV use under the J1772 'standard.' Now to market the repair kit for the EVSE (inlet type connector and any housing which may be necessary to make it weatherproof, as it is on the EV, and some double ended cables for people who only use level "1" at home and don't have a cable or EVSE to modify.You might use crowd funding to sell the kits which you 'make-up' on "Kickstarter" or "IndieGoGo" But of course you know that as I am sure you have considered all the alternatives, being the good designer and businessman that you are...
