Okay, so now you got me wondering. Tell us more 
L2 to L3 success

Power source was his level 2 Tesla charger. Took two tries but on second attempt started the up and showed the expected time for 6kW per hour. The is pretty sick. Can set it to charge to 80 percent and shut off. I think he wants a bit over 3k. I don't have the need but it is tempting. One down side is you still need a l2 charger. But I don't know what options they support. Can you go straight to 50amp circuits? Cable and device seemed well built.
Thank you. For what it's worth, I have never needed or wanted anything more than Level 1 overnight charging both at home and overseas, but it would be nice to know that Level 2 is available even it's gonna take some tweaking.
But since I don't have a Tesla, I don't have a Tesla Level 2 charger either
What do you mean you still need a L2 charger? You mean the DC charger can't directly plug into a wall power socket? Surely you can probably need a new plug. Can you take a photo of the whole thing they supply you? Also where/what connector the power that go into the DC charger?Power source was his level 2 Tesla charger.

Thank you so much for confirming this for us. I really appreciate it! Great bit of info. Looks like this is going tesla into J1772 adapter and then into the Setec. Pretty sweet.
Yeah there Tesla is just the L2 source others work. Possible there is a direct to wall option but I don't know the product. Waves on here could tell us more but he is probably still recovering. The only question in my mind was would the bike be cool with the DC unit. That worked fine.
Did the unit weigh much? Guessing it's too big for a backpack?
Yeah at least 40 lbs. Before the cables. In a chase car...
When I looked into the SETEC stuff they where all out of stock so I have not looked again. Was procurement smooth and trustworthy?
Would love to get into a group buy on one because I would only need it once or twice a year.

Check out the thread on this forum titled Really considering putting in a DC fast charger at home I posted some details on the product there and we talked about it a lot. You can buy direct from them with a money transfer or pay with credit card through an online store like Alibaba. They seem very legit and are very helpful in answering questions, (Mila Cao is the sales manager). $2200 USD plus shipping is what they quoted me. Oh and Sean's tag on here is @R.I.P.
The unit will plug directly into any 240v circuit, currently wired for a 14-50 RV outlet. I also have a adapter that will pull the AC directly off any L2 evse, which is what we were using for that test.What do you mean you still need a L2 charger?

SeTec does not stock these, but they will custom build them to order, which is how I had mine built. I know longer am using this one, so it is for sale. $3000 for the unit, the CCS1 cabling, the 240v adapter, and the j1772 source adapter. I paid $4,100 putting it together.When I looked into the SETEC stuff they where all out of stock so I have not looked again. Was procurement smooth and trustworthy?

The $2200 does not include cabling, shipping or import fees (steep). It ends up being close to double that, but it was worth it to me; it is a good unit and handy to have.Check out the thread on this forum titled Really considering putting in a DC fast charger at home I posted some details on the product there and we talked about it a lot.

Thanks again for the juice and the cool experiment. I so want it but really don't need it. I love the charge to 80% by default.
I think this setup is a no brainer for traveling with a LW to destinations while transporting the bike. High/Mid speed charge at a track day or campground. Assuming you can get access to the right power.
It was great to meet you, stop by anytime coming through this way!Thanks again for the juice and the cool experiment. I so want it but really don't need it. I love the charge to 80% by default.
