My office has been kind enough to supply an HPWC, sadly running at 208V because 277 is no longer listed as an option in the manual, but we are running into capacity issues... They aren't insurmountable issues yet, but its only a matter of time as more Teslas are bought....
I'd like to see a very slow supercharger option, like maybe dual ~25kw(or even modular charge level options!) DC outputs, running on the available 480V three phase supply that is commonplace in a commercial environments. This would make commuting-level recharge times an hour or so, and the charger(or pair) would support a bunch more Teslas.
I'd think we'd need the charging cabinet to be outdoor-rated, since sending about a zillion volts and a decent number of amps DC across a parking lot would be a bad idea.....
Ideally, we'd also be able to register our Tesla's for free charging at that one(or two) chargers.
None of these seem to be really hard to solve, but I'm not sure its a large enough market for Tesla to bother with. I imagine that the underpinnings of this would be a depopulated urban supercharger, since I've seen pictures of the innards of their cabinet and they already seem modular inside....
What say you?
