Think that sorts out who can and can't wire up a ''full EV'' home charger, you have to pay a qualified electrician and get a certificate of conformity to show the insurance co. in case the worse happens.

I mean, you *can* and I know people who have, but if an investigator finds your DIY piggyback charger caused a fire, not only are you SoL, but you could be liable for any other damage it causes, like for instance it burns your neighbor’s property or causes damage to city utility lines. Not worth the risk, imo, but I'm not an actuary.
