So far, this build is meeting the goals that I had in mind when I built it, which were mostly efficiency. I also wanted to test the ideas that I had in mind before the build, so that I can see what to change for the build that I am working on now. The 12kw charger has been great in this rig, but the lack of canbus control on it is the only thing that I want to change for my next build. As much as I like to tease the guys who have manufactured EVs about their slow chargers, I am downgrading the power a bit on my next build so that I can integrate the charger with my canbus control system. The power downgrade is from a 12kw charger to 10kw, but it will be worth it to take advantage of the canbus capability that I do not have now.
