It's RISKY to use a charger without a shutoff timer.
Too risky.
Foolish risky IMHO
This is the timer

This is an image of the box that the timer fits into but I like plastic better. All the screws come with these parts. If you prefer metal, ask the Home Depot salesman for ROMEX CLAMPS to hold the wire from pulling out
There are two stubs of wire sticking out the back of the timer. One is in, the other is out. Cut the long plug-in cord so that you can connect the black wire to the timer IN wire. OK to use wire nuts - yellow.
We have one wire left. That stub connects to the black wire that goes to the Megawatt. Straight direct to the screw marked LINE.
Now for the white wire. The neutral. The neutral runs direct from the plug in plug through the receptacle box then continues on without being cut if you can help it, directly to the Megawatt's NEUTRAL screw.
The same happens with the green wire. It runs directly from the plug in to the Megawatt EARTH GROUND screw terminal.
