Mark,
Modern EVSE do not use the Neutral, but early EVSE did for their
control circuit power, because a 120V power supply was cheaper and
easier to find than a 240V supply.
Today all EVSE use a multi-voltage switch mode power supply, but just
to illustrate: the first version of the Leaf
Hi folks
It looks like it was from the days when we had to plug our EVs into RV 14/50
sockets while on the road since that was the only 240Vac level 2 option at the
time (although the neutral isn’t used for EV charging it certainly is for
campers).
Tesla chargers are infamous for using too much current in their ground
presence testing, so that they trip the 5mA GFCI units. This leads
people to swap out their GFCIs for regular breakers, so this safety
feature makes them less safe in the end.

Yep, I made sure to use well under 1mA for the ground presence detect
to avoid upsetting upstream GFI.
Same with the built-in GFI test, I made sure to *not* introduce any
ground fault current externally for the internal test.
I heard stories that some EV Charger designers made that mistake and
had

Hi folks
Not to stir up another firestorm again - but I was curious why a 14/50 240V
socket was chosen for portable EVSE charge controllers when they *don’t* use
the neutral wire? The NEMA 6-50 sockets without a neutral would seem more
appropriate but aren’t used that often and would need a
