Thought I'd open up a "build thread" for all Foccci success stories (please no usage questions here)
So from my side
Touran
Picture still shows CHAdeMO adapter, now it is fully integrated. Charge limits calculated by stm32-car MEB BMS module. Max charging power 85 kW
Mathieus Land Cruiser
Charge limits calculated by Orion BMS. Max power 90 kW
Svens Chevy Pickup

Orion BMS. Max power 82 kW.

Uwe is charging the laptop with Foccci. The label on the alpitronic charger says "Einfach Schnell Laden", this is "Simply Fast Charging". Fits quite well

The Omega. 250A (70-80kW) is the most I dare to try with the 13 old 2015 Tesla Model S modules. Only once they've warmed up but not too warm.

Charging at 120kW - which is the maximum output of our station at Mission Raceway near Vancouver, BC. At some point, we will visit a commercial charge station and see if we can charge at 350kW. We're using water cooled Tesla Model 3 modules, so there are no issues with heat. Charge profile is managed by our own controller with an Orion2 BMS also watching in the background for safety.

The Previa, now with Foccci. The pyPLC hardware has been ditched and the connector moved. I've been charging at 180A and under, which is about 50kW. I'll increase that a bit when being at the optimal temperature range (25...45°C), once I have some time.

To add a couple to the gallery, replaced the LIM dit the Foccci controller, after finished the CAN implementation in my VCU project AC charging was working so I wanted to test the DC charging. I have 3 chargers near me and all of them worked perfectly in one try!
Thanks for all the effort you people put into this project!

Today tried a couple of others, Tesla v2 and a new abb one. Both of them worked directly! No drama, just charging. Very nice. Was one other charger that did not want to charge but it was one without display so no feedback of any kind. Also tried via the qr code also no succes, site was very not responsive. But at this point I don't blame the Foccci for this fail

Charging the wheel chair, 24V lead acid, using industrial switch mode power supply to convert 230V DC to 28V DC. Foccci powered by USB power bank because I killed the planned 24V to USB by shortcut

Edit: And a big thankyou to everyone who has developed or contributed to the project. I never thought I'd be able to do fast charging on this car. I've still got to sort a few things out but I'm happy that my first attempt was already relatively successful!
