Hi all,
Trying to choose between these two on-board chargers and would like to know which one weighs less. I need to know the weight of the Volt gen 2 charger and the Tesla Gen 2 charger. I've seen 33 lbs listed for the Tesla charger but I don't know if that's for multiple modules or just one.
Thanks for your help!

The volt charger is smaller and lighter. But dosent provide the same amount of energy.
From my memory the volt is a 3.3kw charger and the Tesla is a 10kw charger
