He has a point. If the structure you are charging in is insured, and there is a fire, insurers and or the court will want to see the safety certification (mark) of the product (UL, CE, etc.) (I have no experience with the Duosida either) After some research (digging), I found that L2-3kW EVSE is: - made in China - comes in either a 200-240VAC model, or a 120 -240VAC model (I would opt for the latter so I could carry with me more charging flexibility: able to charge off L2 when at Meemaw's, or L1 when at the airport's long term parking lot, etc.) http://www.yourdictionary.com/memaw - some resellers say it is safety approved (but I would contact that seller to ensure you also receive some proof it is safety approved/certified - it shows it is CE certified on the product manual, etc.).
