Well I finally got the new liquid cooled charger installed and running in the car.Charger has a few software issues I need to resolve around end of charge detection but boy is it fast! Took the pack from 48% to 95% in a half hour. Peak input power of 10.5kw. The fuseboard at home started making interesting popping and creaking sounds as it warmed up. It's so powerful compared to the pack capacity that it only spent a few minutes in CC phase!.Measured a total power factor of .982 for the vehicle. That includes main charger , aux battery charger (chennic) and two battery heaters.

Now, Cole, when you shift the gear and that little needle on the ammeter goes into the red and reads 2000 Amps, that's bad.
