So with the AC 'charger' stations, they take care of the switching and making sure that there is actually a charger on the other end, but you still need to take the AC and make DC (with a charger) for your batteries - right? And take care of the voltage regulation, and when the batteries are full.

Alternately, the 'DC' charger stations put out a voltage and current as controlled by the vehicle (via communications) and terminate the charge when the vehicle says so?

My battery charger won't do anywhere near that amount of power, so I have not investigated a whole lot as yet.

My handy wall chart (old version) lists #2 as 100 amps for a 60C rise. The new chart lists 110 I think. Either way, #2 is good for your 100 amp feed.
