Hello,
I'm a long time lurker on this forum, and have started to put together a list of components for my EV Conversion here in the UK. At the moment i'm leaning towards a 144v system with a Hyper9HV motor setup, with the commonly used tesla modules as batteries.
I see lots of info about the wiring of J1772 sockets, but I haven't been able to find anything about Type 2 connectors.
My questions:
1) If i were to buy an Elcon 6.6kW charger i.e. This Elcon TC 6.6kW from Renugen , what hardware (other than cable & conduit!) would i need to connect it up to a Type 2 Socket such as this one? ZeroEV only have a CCS setup for sale which has a minimum DC voltage of 200V as far as i understand, so isn't compatible for my 144v battery setup.
2) If my onboard charger was the 6.6kW one above and then i plug in a 3kW 'granny charger' such as this one , what would happen - would the 6.6kW charger just charge at the maximum power available to it, or simply not charge at all?
I've looked and looked for these answers but i must be missing something. Lots of build videos on youtube skim over this information.
Cheers. I'll put a build thread up once i have a better idea of what i need.
