Im not that much concerned about charging my EV from my solar array. My interest in EV charging direct from HV Solar string arrays is because 99.9% of solar is and will be HV grid-tie, The HVDC will always be there. I'd rather find the ways for EV's to work with what is out there everywhere than expecting the 99.9% to accomodate EV's.
My guess is that an EV onboard charger could be certified for rectified 120 or 240 volt DC with no more than a $10 difference in design. That is, making sure there are no 60 Hz transformers in the low voltage EVSE inrnal circuit power design or in the car. Or, talking someone with a LEAF on lease to just plug it into 330 VDC and see what happens! If it doesnt work, take it back. (I jest, of course)...
