I use a simple Master Lock for this exact reason. Lock up the J1772 nozzle and nobody can steal it.VeloV said:Secure the stock EVSE under hood for public 110V charging.

Hard plastic or aluminum and hinged very strong.
opens via the smart key fob or an internal release.
when you open the port lid and push the J1772 handle in, it latches to the lid somehow
you cant remove the evse handle without a smart fob or pushing a button in the car
it would be like a quick fuel cap on some cars

And the opportunists. Do you leave your car and house unlocked to discourage the honest people? :lol:smkettner said:A lock will just discourage the honest people.
Exactly. And plug sharing is not and should not be used here to confuse the issue. This is 120v, so the EVSE can be unplugged at the other end, and it's my personal EVSE that no one should be using without my explicit permission.DarkStar said:I use a simple Master Lock for this exact reason.

I lock my doors to keep the honest people out. If a criminal wants inside then the lock on the door will not stop them. :|Electric4Me said:And the opportunists.

Yes, but your clever way for Securing Nissan brick for airport or other public charging will make it tough on the rest of them. Thanks for posting it!smkettner said:A lock will just discourage the honest people.
If they're honest people, why would they be stealing my EVSE, or things from inside my house?smkettner said:I lock my doors to keep the honest people out. If a criminal wants inside then the lock on the door will not stop them. :|
