Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Assembly Convertible Between a Cord Set and a Charge Station
First Claim
1. An electric vehicle supply equipment assembly convertible between a cord set and a charge station, the assembly comprising:
- a charge unit having a connector of a first type;
a charge station sub-assembly having a connector of a second type; and
a cord set sub-assembly having a connector of the second type;
wherein the charge unit electrically connects to the charge station sub-assembly while the connectors of the charge unit and the charge station sub-assembly are connected to one another to thereby form a charge station;
wherein the charge unit electrically connects to the cord set sub-assembly while the connectors of the charge unit and the cord set sub-assembly are connected to one another to thereby form a cord set.

Abstract
An EVSE assembly convertible between a charge cord and a charge station includes a charge unit having a connector of a first type, a charge station sub-assembly having a connector of a second type, and a cord set sub-assembly having a connector of the second type. The connector of the charge station sub-assembly is hard-wired to an (240V) electrical circuit. The charge unit electrically connects to the charge station sub-assembly while the connectors of the charge unit and the charge station sub-assembly are connected to one another to thereby form a (240V) charge station. The cord set sub-assembly further includes a power plug connectable to (one of a 120V and 240V) electrical outlet. The charge unit electrically connects to the cord set sub-assembly while the connectors of the charge unit and the cord set sub-assembly are connected to one another to thereby form a (120V or 240V) cord set.
