22kw A/C to DC port possible ?

[o00scorpion00o]

Because we got much more 22kw a/c chargers than DC, just wondering if it were possible that there is a converter of some sort ? it would be really convenient.

no convertor, but its possible to add additional chargers to a car, perhaps a Brusa http://www.brusa.biz/index.php?id=55&L=1&tx_ttnews" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;[tt_news]=221

a 22kw Charger is likely to cost a pretty penny, Tesla also has an option for a second charger to get to 22kw.

Otherwise get a Zoe, after all the costs are added up, its probably cheaper to buy a Zoe than it is to upgrade a free EV to 22kw charging.

Thanks for the reply, yes zoe has a great charger though sadly the monthly rental at 20k miles a year, and more would mean it's no cheaper. I'm not a lover of Zoe as it's slow, where the Spark is much faster and is a better e.v. It's range is also more than Zoe, at 100 kph 93 miles max are achievable though winter range will be another matter because while the battery is heated it doesn't use a heat pump. In the not so distant future I'm told the new chargers will have both ccs, CHAdeMo and 44kw a/c all in one.

Thanks for the link, it is a lot of money and before installation.

To avoid modifications to the car, our experimental mini-QC project
(for Rapid-Charging the LEAF via its QC port) uses 240v from not-too-rare
50-amp circuits to charge the battery at about 30 amps maximum,
thus charging at about an11 kW rate.

At home, such connections are generally easy to install (where not
forbidden), and in-the-wild they are often found at RV parks.

You can decrease the output to allow use of lower-power connections.
To date, we have Rapid-Charged (RC) several different LEAFs.

Also, a "portable" size and weight, along with air cooling, make
it easy to take along and rapid-charge (RC) many places, being
careful to select appropriate conditions.

Very interesting.

How about one for 22 kw ?

have you got a link, pics ?
