This is a series of blogposts about DC fastcharging. Especially in electric car conversion projects there is not as much room as in a Tesla for batteries. A way to cope with limited battery capacity and yet to use the car for longer distances is to be able to fastcharge. We’ll give an introduction into DC fastcharging and discuss the two main protocols, CHAdeMO and CCS Combo.
