Ah je sais pas ça.

Depuis la pétition Duplomb, c'est quand même un caillou dans la chaussure ces histoires de pétition.

Les médias (même mainstream) en parlent, les gens de manière générale en parlent, tu peux difficilement faire l'impasse ou alors tu t'asseois frontalement et ouvertement sur l'avis des gens. À un an et quelques d'une présidentielle, pas sûr que ce soit le bon calcul.

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…).

And no safety regulation? No CE marking, no refuse to operate if the gnd line is not well established, no gracefully fail without degrading the safety?

There are some information about ground line. I’ve experienced it myself while my type 2 socket was malfunctioning: OpenEVSE cuts everything pretty quickly in case there is more than 150ohms on ground or more than 20mA leak to ground.

My brother is an electrician and helped me install it 4 years ago. Basically, as long as you have the right panel, there should be no issue.
