I actually bought a dozen 48V 30-40A power supplies (from file servers) to make 1 or 2 12kW supplies (maxing out a NEMA 14-50) and looked into the work that was done on reverse engineering the Leaf's Chademo communication. It was at the same time that EMW (Electric Motor Werks) also started to look into modifying their 15kW charger for the same Chademo communication and so I did not follow through, since EMW is usually better equipped and faster in doing this kind of stuff than a lone hacker like me. I did buy the CAN-bus equipped micro that was used in the experiements that allowed the Leaf to be charged, but did not put too much effort in decoding the communication (which would help to allow a more robust implementation) that was logged from actual Leaf-Chademo charging sesssions. At one point I was promised a Chademo charge plug, but that never panned out either, I recently saw one for sale on Ebay for an exorbitant amount, the same company also has an inlet for sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHAdeMO/121522493244 Personally I am not sure that I would pay $3200 for a charge plug...

Know of any nifty "hacks" for connecting my existing PFC-50 up to the L3 charging port? That would cut my charge time almost in half, if someone has figured out how to do it. Bill D.
