As far as I know, Brusa's US distributor is still Metric Mind (metricmind.com). Their price list says that you should "inquire" after the price of this charger. > So, these are isolated chargers? Yes, 100% isolated switchmode chargers with high efficiency and PFC. Also, unlike some chargers popular with EV hobbyists, they have full regulatory approval (at least for the European markets; I don't know about the US). This means they've passed stress tests for peak voltage, fire resistance, and so on. Brusa chargers are unusual in that they have the safety "chops" that OEMs' legal departments insist on, but they aren't locked down to a particular battery type or charge algorithm like many OEM type chargers are, though I suppose they could be if you were an OEM and requested it.
