The thing about DC quick charging and Level 1 and 2 charging is that they all have communication between the vehicle and the charger or EVSE. So you could make a device with several Brusa chargers to provide the DC current for quicker charging off of one or more 240V outlets through the ChAdeMO port. But then you'd need a way to communicate through the CHAdeMO charging port between chargers and the vehicle.

When I stick my DMM in the CHAdeMO port I get no voltage. That tells me there's an open relay that the car keeps open until it establishes communication with a CHAdeMO charger. Otherwise I could just hook up 400V worth of solar panels with a hefty diode and just plug into the CHAdeMO port and charge.
