Yep, I actually built it in to my large Blink metal junction box since there is a lot of room in there. It is a L network. The two toroids are bifliar wound with both legs of the 240 passing through them (to prevent core saturation). I did not put any capacitors (C1 and C2 are each 20uf and .1uf 250VAC Mains Capacitors in parallel) on the AC in side because I did not want to shunt data from my TED and Insteon systems to ground. I'll try to draw it below but I'm not much good with text schematics (grin)! I should say that this violates more codes and best design practices than I have room to write here so all the normal disclaimers apply! Consider this just a laboratory proof of performance experiment! However, it did completely eliminate both the noise problem and the interference with my TED and Insteon power line carrier current systems...
Code:
L1 L2
ACin1 ----------- potted coil------- toroid coil ------------ Blink

--- C1

Neutral ---------------------------------------------------------Blink

--- C2

ACin2--------------potted coil --------torrid coil ----------------Blink

So, you added the filter in your house, not your LEAF?
You put it between the EVSE and your house's wiring?
