    Building my own Supercharger at my business.

    Thanks for the replies, guys. As usual, nothing is as simple as you think it might be. I'l have to read up on the Chademo chargers. I only drive to this location about twice per month, and I usually spend about 4 hours there. So it seems a hpwc would be sufficient, and much less costly. I...
