Yeah, but EV chargers are not that complicated. They are just smart contactors, with maaaybe some load management (EVSE can command the vehicle to reduce the charging rate).

Worst case, you just buy another one. It'll set you back a couple hundred dollars. Unpleasant, but not a big deal.

Air conditioning systems can easily cost more than $10k.

That's just a PWM signal on one of the pilot pins, it's not even that complex.
