Very nice, but who here has 400VAC, 3 phase service? Thats commercial only (and 480VAC in the U.S.), this isn't going to help any residential Leaf owners.

Eeeks! I hadn't thought about that yet, though given all the costs of installing a fast charger, what's another few thousand for a 15 or 25 kVA 480 VAC to 400VAC step down / buck transformer? It's also possible they might work on a version for the use market for a nominal 480 VAC 3 phase supply. That's professional mobile though... I can't ever recall plugging in or working with anything thats over 208V 3 phase. For DC fast charging, all the units we've seen so far are all 3 phase input, which means commercial (or maybe large multi-tenant like apartment buildings?)

Well, "fast" means "almost" in German. Not sure what it means for quick chargers. That they are almost here perhaps? Google is innocent in this case. Well, almost innocent. The author of that article used a barely domesticated English term and the translation algorithm got consequently confused.

Well, if they made it in a 240V single phase version, a 100 amp breaker would just about handle it. Noit sure why one would want this at home, but a 480V 3 phase version might be just the thing for an auto service shop, once EVs become popular enough to be serviced somewhere other than the dealer... Looks as if a 40 amp 480 3 phase breaker would be more than enough.

I emailed them and got a bit more information:

20 kW: 14,900 euro (excl VAT), roughly $20,200 USD.
10 kW: Pricing not finalized yet, estimated 2,000 to 3,000 euro less than 20 kW., roughly $17,500 to $16,100 USD.

The product is in the CHAdeMO and IEC certification processes.
Primary market is Europe, focusing first on European certifications.
They are looking for a company in the USA to produce the MobileFastCharger in licence according to national regulations.

Interesting unit. Nissan has certainly set a new price point with the Nissan 50 kW Quick Charger for $10,000, when they become available.

I got the same reply from my email. I like how light and portable this thing is, and the options list is impressive for a "portable" unit.

One additional piece of information that I got is that it will operate on 208v 3 phase (USA standard).

I sent back an additional email to ask whether this would exceed 20kW, or not, and specified that going over 20kW was not an option!
