Well, I am impressed. What is this going to cost me?  All I need now is a 2013 Zero, their $1800 fast charger plug, the Fuji charger - and someway to provide 25 kW from my home electrical service that can barely keep up with my 120V lifestyle.   ;)

If you're (only) charging the 2011 Zero then you'll only need to supply around 30A (@ 240V), since the onboard charger is limited to 62A output (1.5 hour charge). A large AC unit or a 30A J1772 EVSE will use around that much power.

For full power you need to install it on an 80A circuit, the same class of supply that the Tesla Roadster HPC circuits used. Only the Roadster's 20 kW charge used its onboard charger : )
