Interesting, thanks.
Last question, is it necessary to have the safety/ standard compliance certified by an external authority? If yes, how is it done? Same for the sw/FW updates
As far as I know in France specifically, your installation must be done by a certified installer if and only if you want to take advantage of the tax credit for installing an EVSE at home.
Basically that would mean paying 1200€ to have 600€ back in tax credit. Better install it yourself for less than 300€ and a big afternoon of work IMHO.
If you don’t call a certified installer, any electrician can do it and, as far as I know, no one can force you to have a certification for this. Same installation as an electric oven, so basically something pretty standard overall.
Regarding software/firmware updates, I honestly don’t know. It’s open, so I guess you could see if the security part is done properly (or touched at all for that matter…).
Thanks for the answers
