On another Subject.
We want to have the ability to fast charge for some of the longer VW club trips. Reading the wiki here: https://openinverter.org/wiki/Main_Page#Rapid_Charging
And reading this about ZV:
https://openinverter.org/wiki/Chademo_with_Zombieverter
AND watching his video:

I see it's very straight forward.
However, in the USA the standard is NACS.
So has anyone done both Chademo and NACS for fast charging?
For context:
Motor: Leaf Stack 2015
Battery: 1/2 of a new Ionic 5 battery - 400V
BMS: Orion BMS 2

being that NACS is just CCS with a different connector, foccci is what you are looking for.

Should be getting it back soon.
Have been replacing the "small nut" transmission with a new freeway flyer trans mission with the "Big Nut" Reduction Gear axels.
And stripping them at home and painting them.
