I agree, I would not put a J1772 inlet if the there is no charger behind it or if the charger can not be make to conform to the J1772 protocols. That would be dangerous, there are many standard 5 conductor plugs that would be usable if it’s just to make a single cable coming out of the car.
I was making the assumption (bad bad) that the charger was on board and that it might be possible to add the handshake to make it J1772 compatible.
