But you can get 50 amps of 240 volt power, which gives you 12kw.
So is the class system based purely voltage or is there an implied wattage limit too?
Then is that voltage single or 3 phase?
If its single phase is it line to line power or line to neutral?
If its 3 phase is it delta or "wye" configured?

6.6 kiloWatts from each charging station. He can use up to 4 at once to charge in under an hour and then ride at 75 mph for 3 hours. |

You can push 70 amps at level 2, why are they running at such a low output?
