I just read through this thread about hacking the CHAdeMO and wonder if anyone has consider as the new handle may be much cheaper and as we understand the communication protocol better would it be practical to get a roll of Photovoltaic and just plug it in via DC-DC conversion on CHAdeMO or with an inverter to J1772? I can't charge at work and don't expect they're gonna let me any time soon so I'm thinking the only way I'm going to get a supplimental, idle charge is to set up my own Photovoltaic station. I know the old CHAdeMO connector Ingineer is selling is almost $3000 but I guess the new handles are cheaper, though I've not seen a price quote. Obviously these need to come down in price to be practical but from an electrical point of view, which would make more sense, DC-DC CHAdeMO or Inverter-AC J1772 given that the Wattage we're talking about is maybe 100W.
