Behold, another mayhem from the charger front.
Got a good price on a Gen2 Tesla charger and as I'm now maintaining the software I thought it would be good to have one.
Then I went to the scrap yard and got a water pump and a, irony of fate, Polo passenger heater assembly. Yes the one the killed my Polo. Tubed that up with the vertical tube being the reservoir and from then on called it the weightlifters charger. It is painfully heavy.
Then attached an Anderson connector to the DC output and a Wieland RST20I5 to the AC input. The Wieland is a great part, 3 phase and with 20A capability per phase at a fraction of the size of a regular CEE connector. I made two counterparts, one with Schuko plug and one with Type-2 plug (powered by Arber).
Added a Meanwell 20A supply left over from the Polo.
Since this is a CHAdeMO charger I make provision for that. Straight connection to the Meanwell on pins 1 and 2, CAN and charger enable 2 signal are on the connector anyway. Just jumped it over to the 12-pole connector which has vacant pins. Internally pulled up the enable pin and will add polarity selection to the software so it charges when the signal goes LOW.
So much for now, first test tomorrow.

Charger envy, huh
Just have to build a shell for it, this looks ridiculous when charging at a public station...

Did I read between the lines that once complete this weightlifters charger is a portable 3-phase to chademo device?
Any opinions are my own, unless stated otherwise. I take no responsibility if you follow my way of doing things and it doesn't work. Please double check with someone who knows what they are doing.

Yes.
Project is on halt since we first need to figure out the SC version of the Tesla charger

Re: Weightlifters charger 11kW (Tesla Gen2 based CHAdeMO charger)
Interested in this too since we have a leaf and outlander. Would be great to have something like this for swapping between the cars. Especially if you could get 2x tesla chargers for 22kw. I never see any one hacking renault chargers any ideas why not or are they and my google search fu isnt up to it?
Re: Weightlifters charger 11kW (Tesla Gen2 based CHAdeMO charger)
Whereswally606 the Renault charger uses the motor inverter and motor as part of the charger so it's not practical or compact.

On all models i thought it was only the 43kwchr q90 model that was true. Makes sense though. Thanks
