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.
L2 to L3 success

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?
Would love to get into a group buy on one because I would only need it once or twice a year.
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. 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.
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.
That is exactly right. Because the power is completely adjustable, it will take any power you give it, up to 10 kilowatts, and convert that into DCFC. Perfect for campgrounds, and with the L2 conversion cable any place that already has L2 charging.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.

Warranty is... "Chinese". What that means is the warranty (2 years I believe is what they stated) is as good as the people behind it. In the case of Setec, they have been good in the past, and have been ernest about making things right. The warranty on these types of things is best when they can help you find the problem and ship you replacement components, rather then mailing the whole thing back & forth.Any idea what kind of warranty if any comes with these? Has yours seen a lot of use? Were you asking $3000 for yours plus shipping?
That said, there is a pretty active community that was using these for Spark EVs and Leaf's to overcome their ananely small L2 onboards (3.3kw). They have proven to be very robust, and I only know of one that had a component failure in it. Setec was prompt in shipping out a replacement.
I would include shipping the in the price. My preference would be to deliver it myself to a buyer a reasonable distance from me here in the PNW. I would deliver in Or, Wa, Ca, Id or Nv. Personal delivery would mean I could make sure the buyer knows how to use it & is happy with the operation.
That's what they advertise it for, yes. By the time you have shipping and import fees, you are running about $3,500. Then by the time you have your cables made your closer to $4,200.This is the unit that Setec is selling new for $2440, delivered?
Actual shipping ended up being over $500 more than originally quoted, and I was hit with a state-side tariff of $720 by FedEx on delivery. Unexpected and disappointing, but what are you going to do. I believe it has something to do with the Biden administrations tariffs and restrictions on certain Chinese electronics at this point.Got it.
I'll be curious.
Their price shipped is $2440. With another $250 of customs duty and $75 for plugs and adapters for RV/trailer park use, it wouldn't seem that expensive.
But, I'd be curious what adapters are needed to plug into a Tesla L2?
I purchased a 14-50 to J1772 adapter to be able to use the unit from any L2 supplies. I then added a Tesla to J1772 adapter to patch into any Tesla destination chargers.Got it.

Of note, the unit came with bare wires, I added the 14-50 adapter.
You could do that, but that takes away your ability to use the ubiquitous 14-50 outlets found at campgrounds. I wanted the ability to use a wide variety of inputs.Did you put the adapter on yourself? Could you have added a J1772 adapter to the wires instead of the 14-50?
