The discussions in other threads about the Quick 220 System got me thinking. How possible would it be for an intrepid engineer to invent a similar "Quick 440 System"?
If, say, one had two 240V outlets on separate breakers, perhaps one could plug them both into such a "box" to produce 480V for the QC port...?
Of course, the challenge would not be simple --or cheap! Besides adding the volts together, the system would also need an inverter to convert the AC input to DC output. And I would imagine that, unlike with the LEAF's onboard 240V charger, the box would also need the hardware and firmware to generate, monitor, and control the charge, as well as one of those huge plugs --just like a CHAdeMO station.
Still... wouldn't that be a great accessory? Perhaps one could take it to any RV park, plug into the outlets from two Milbank panels, and charge to 80% in under a half hour.
If, of course, one could afford such a device! :shock:
