DIY Urban Supercharger

That's not a supercharger, its just a regular charger with a cabinet over it.

 

Yes, we know. Like the old school white donut garage Supercharger, it's a cool looking way to store your charging equipment.

 

It is designed after a supercharger. The "Urban" ones they've put in Chicago & Boston look just like that.

 

Except that they charge at 72kW, bit of a difference that.

 

More importantly, they ALWAYS charge at 72kW, no dropping performance when someone is charging next to you.

 

It's a cabinet designed to look like an urban supercharger, as specified in the original post. No one is claiming that it matches the charging capabilities of a real supercharger.

OP, I think it looks awesome!

 

Technically its just a cabinet, hence being called a suburban supercharger - but still pretty darned cool. Nice work
I might try that myself, it looks easier than the fake Supercharger and worth the effort of making the front curved.

 

That’s pretty neat if he’s got the space. I can barely fit the HPWC......

 

With that logic, could I make one that doesn't charge at all but looks pretty?
C'mon its pretty misleading..

Agreed that this is super cool nonetheless

 

Very clean and sanitary! I understand the concept without getting all anile about the output. Where can I get the Tesla logo? Now, I have another project!

Why not, go for it!

 

If you make it, a lot of us will buy it!

 

hmm - not sure why @Tubesocks disagreed with me - I thought I was complimenting the build.
The only thing I'd change is adding one of these Model S/X/3 Cable Organizer into the side to give it a finished look instead of a friction hole.
Hey ho

 

Hey, at least no one was picky enough to say "That's not a charger, it's a connector!"

 

Hey you're right - that's an EVSE not a charger

But the bigger question as brought up by @T34ME - How did you do the Tesla logo ??

 

I have finished my DIY Urban Charger today
