You can't cut power "at the source". Without tripping the breaker.
This device has relays that DO cut high voltage power at the J1772 side.
And no EVSE cuts power at the source (wall outlet).

Just have a functional RCCB and 16A breaker at the source and in case of any fault, no lives will be hurt.
If there is no such things for outdoor outlet, then EVSE is not the reason to blame.
One can die with OEM granny charger while plugging/unplugging granny charger to the outlet even
though no vehicle is connected. It's just slightly better to have that control box earlier in the loop.
But in terms of real "lives saved" - unmeasurable results. Compared to RCCB before outdoor outlet.
This handle charger must be waterproofed. Then it is good enough.
As the length of unprotected conductor grows, safety is reduced. This seems self-evident.arnis wrote:You are just saying it's not safe while bringing no examples who can be harmed and how can be harmed
by having HV relay closer to the J1772 end compared to wall outlet end.
