Yeah, believe me, some of us have built DiY systems that support CHAdeMO. CCS is a bit (well a lot) harder because of the architecture so there probably aren't any homebrew CCS. But, it is possible to repurpose hardware from OEM vehicles and I think people have started to experiment with using the charge port controller from a Tesla to be able to do CCS. So, the possibility exists for both.
