As a former Nissan Leaf owner that was used to the modified L1/L2 through http://evseupgrade.com/, I wanted that same functionality from my 2013 Volt portable charger that comes with the car and fits neatly under the rear trunk cover. So with help and guidance from GlennD (mynissanleaf forum member), I gutted the stock '13 Volt charger and replaced the clipper creek board with an Open Evse Board ( http://code.google.com/p/open-evse/) , power supply, new 240V relay and new fuses. I reused the GFCI coil and J1772 connector and cable. I mounted all these components on a square plastic sheet that fit neatly within the charger enclosure. It looks OEM. It was tested on 120V tonight and worked fine charging my Volt. I plan to test it on 240V in the next few days once I install a male L6-20 plug on it to use with various 240V connectors using the evseupgrade approach. Once I finish with the L6-20 plug and testing on 240V, I will post pictures. Many thanks to GlennD for the guidance and for wiring everything together and programming the chip. Total parts were about $100.
