I explained that a few days ago. (Actually, several times now, not to seem cranky ;-). The PFC charger range was developed for EV hobbyists who said - right here on the EVDL - that they didn't care about isolation or regulatory approval. Their main priority was maximum charging current for the lowest possible price. EV hobbyists were - and, I'm fairly sure, still are - Rich's target customers. From what I can tell, he has succeeded in selling chargers to them. I don't think many commercial EV suppliers (vehicle manufacturers or commercial converters) would be very interested in a charger which isn't isolated and doesn't bear regulatory approval seals. Nor do I think that Rich was all that interested in serving such customers. However, I obviously don't speak for him, and I certainly could be wrong.
