The Skoda Elmo pickup had a simple system. The charge cable was captive to the vehicle and stored in a compartment behind what was the grill. A socket was fitted in the compartment and plugging the cable in completed a circuit via the earth pin that operated an interlock relay. This also meant

Re: [EVDL] Leaf recommendations?
