Adjustable amperage for EVSE - Ontario new bulletin

That is correct, but lets not confuse that with the user app. If it can be adjusted by a "user app" then it needs to wired to max rating. The commissioning software is usually "authorized" persons only such a a factory rep, service technician, etc. So basically the same as the previous "dip switch" rule, just now they have included factory software used by authorized personnel.

What brand allows a user app to adjust amperage settings?

I don't know, but that was the issue previously. A user could "crank up" the output via an app... or at least that is what I understood the issue to be. I don't have an EVC, so I don't specifically know.

The ones I have seen (Flo, Tesla) are set during the commissioning/installation. It is done using mobile software , but it is not an option that the end user can switch easily.

That was the issue from what I understood. ESA assumed it was a simple setting that the end user could easily switch back and forth but it is not. It is just as easy to open the unit and flick a dip switch as it is to get into the software configuring mode and change it so them allowing one and not the other was ridiculous IMO.

So if the end user or homeowner has the password, how does this prevent the user from gaining access ?

The same as the possibility of a home owner owning a tool to open a cover to access the adjustments.
