    I got a chance to try out Fluke's EVSE test equipment!
    The FEV100 is a hand-held tester which simulates an EV and it's various charge states. It also allows you to check for power and run all the safety tests. The kit included adapter cables for both J1772 and Tesla connectors.
    Connecting it to a multimeter, such as the Fluke 87V, allows you to confirm
    the exact charging voltage and the maximum available charging current.
    Together, this allows you to test all J1772 and Tesla Level 1 and Level 2 charging stations, whether that's for confirming correct installation or troubleshooting a faulty system.
    A big thank-you to @flukecorp for letting me review this product!

    Those leads are known as "banana plugs".. or banana jacks/ banana leads, etc. and you can order all kinds of different banana test leads to put on the ends for back probing connections or testing hooks or alligator clips, etc. for super cheap. So that makes those "banana to banana' wires you have pretty handy; makes your kit more modular. There are endless conversion adapters too for like banana to BNC or banana to RCA, etc..

    So glad Fluke has the ability to read out the duty cycle. The sales material I saw never mentioned that. Or maybe they only recently added that feature?

    New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is seeking vendor who will test all EVSE installed through their grants. This unit would do the job. Are you required to return the unit?

    Will you be sending this kit back to Fluke? Or are you in the business of testing EVSE now?

    Can you make video of ebike battery can charge from Tesla charging stations

      Hacksmith did a video doing that with a onewheel. The same circuit will work for ebike

      A standard Tesla home EVSE is the same as J1772, just a slightly different physical form factor.
      Years back, I built a box that I could plug in to an EVSE and then use the output to charge my electric motorcycle. The exact same thing would work for charging an electric bicycle battery.

    That's crazy that the chargers are only running at 50% duty cycle. Seems like they could add a fan for cooling and turn up the juice a bit and get more out of it. It would be interesting to see what's inside and how it's constructed.

    • @BenjaminNelsonX

      POWER from the EVSE is not running at 50%. What was measured is a signal from the "Control Pilot" - that's one of the two small pins on the EVSE connector. It sends a simple signal to the vehicle to let the vehicle know what the maximum amount of current the vehicle is allowed to draw.
      This makes it so that any vehicle can charge at any EVSE and charge as fast as possible, no matter the power of the on-board charger, without blowing fuses or causing other problems.
