The Lotus Elise ECE EV conversion is based on the AC-150 Gen 2 from AC Propulsion. Unfortunately the AC-150 Gen 2 is developed before any charging standard was published. Charging is managed by de PEU (Power Electronics Unit) and is limited to 20KW (240V\/83A one phase). 83A on one phase is way more than a standard household wall outlet in Europe provides. Home charging on a standard 240V wall outlet is limited to 16A. Public charging using the Mennekes connector is also limited to 16A (one phase). In Holland most modern houses have a 3x25A powerline which can often be upgraded to 3x35A without replacing de powerlines to the power company . 35A is better than 16A but it isn\u2019t real fast charging.<\/p>\n

An alternative would be public DC fast charging, But which standard should be used in a DIY install. ChaDeMo is getting popular in Holland. Currently (begin 2016) there are over 100 ChadeMo fast charge stations. So ChaDeMO would be the wiser choise. Currently there are\u00a0a few\u00a0suppliers of ChaDeMo interface which work on any EV. EVWest developed the jld-505<\/a> and Lithium Balance sells the LiBal Fast Charge interface<\/a> for \u20ac1000,- or more.<\/p>\n

For both interfaces the challenge would be how to integrate them into my EV. I think it might be easier to develop a custom interface based on the ChaDeMO standard and the information available on internet.<\/p>\n
