    I don't think even if he wants to build his own grid charger for example, there might be problems breaking in to the contactor's(looking for a way to connect em).

    Here's a by the way ????. And its to those with the hybrid grid charger.

    Do you guys connect the grid charger harness to the dedicated points with the traction battery ecu in place?

    Not sure I know what you mean by "the dedicated points", but yes, the Battery ECU remains in place. The charger just hooks up the harness, which is permanently connected to the battery, anytime a charge is desired.

    Yes. Prolong charge inputs go on the battery side of the relay.
