Here's the deal. San Diego Gas and Electric, and our enlightened state of California, has a little rule that enables any electrical load over 20kW (say, an EV charger) to pay..... a lot.
So, in my efforts to circumvent this little charge, I've come up with several ideas:
1. Find a DC quick charger that is designed to either operate on less than 20kW, or is adjustable, or can be modified in some way to not exceed 20kW.
2. Some magic box that would fit between the charger and SDGE's meter that can divert any load over 19kW to an alternate power source.
3. Obviously, running a 60KVA generator is an "easy" solution, but even that has its limits in California.
