Wasn't sure if this belonged in the Empulse section or off-topic, but I guess it's more of a general interest story. Would it work as plug and play for the Empulse? Remove the 3.3 kW stock charger, pop this baby in, and double/triple your charging speed (depending on the charging station)? $3k ain't cheap, but I wonder how much the stock charger cost for the Empulse. Might work as a $1k factory upgrade, perhaps. It's exciting to see progress in this area though.

For an Enertia it would cut charge time drastically!
Empulse needs DC charging (especially in Europe)
Once you go EV, gas is history!

It could also work alongside the stock charger, to give you a 1 hour charge time on a pair of 30A J1772 EVSE.

I'm coming late but this one would be really nice if we could fit it under the seat of the Empulse : https://emotorwerks.com/index.php/dc-charging-systems/75-quickcharge-25000-hv-a-25kw-pfc-charger-for-higher-voltage-batteries/category_pathway-17
