Hi Denis, Yep I knew about Elcon - did not know they are semi-local. But I already have a solution for my charging, so rather not spend on more new equipment unless necessary. I will keep it handy for other conversion projects, thanks for the link. Regards,

Hi Cor, Just wondering if you considered changing your charger instead. Have you seen those? http://www.elconchargers.com/catalog/item/7344653/7638123.htm Denis Le 2014-08-09 à 20:11, Cor van de Water via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> a écrit : > One of the reasons that I am very excited about the new crypto payment > methods - the idea of a ledger "block-chain" protected by cryptography > and distributed (copied) among thousands of locations is secure but it > does not support the virtual monopoly that banks have created for > themselves. > Everyone can use it, independent from location, background, ... to store > and send money almost instantly to any locatoin where there is internet. > > But let's get back to EV technology - I plan to increase the max > charging rate on my truck, so it can charge faster from 240V.
