This prototype/RnD electric car charging port will send a shiver down your spine

The handmade protoboard PCB is perfectly acceptable for a concept car.

So instead of the guessing games just tell us what YOU think should “send shivers down [our] spines”.

Agreed, of all things to be phased by, an exposed protoboard above a doubly insulated EV charge connector which (presumptively, if it is J1772 derived) is not live until the car signals it wants to charge, is not a big deal.  It's an issue for water and dust ingress etc but ... the van's probably done 500 miles in its whole 12 year life so I doubt anyone is getting upset.

Bigger issue IMO is all of those loose wires under the engine compartment - a large bump and possibly they could touch the wrong thing (hot exhaust manifold?) or get caught in a belt or moving part.
SiliconWizard:
Did they have a partnership with OceanGate?
Benta:
Aren't click-bait titles great?
Psi:
And here I thought you would all have a laugh like we did at work seeing the veroboard,
but no, you're all so serious.

Veroboard is the last thing you expect to encounter next to the charge port of an electric car.
Even considering it's a prototype, still funny and a bit scary.

A concept car isn’t even really a prototype. They’re always lashed together from random stuff, both mechanically and electrically, so it’s nothing unexpected. Not sure why you guys find it so surprising or funny.

Why is it scary? It’s not like the charging power is flowing through it.
