Knew TEG would do it.

Didn't know it would be so easy.

Straubels presentation is very interesting. the charger is still being a part of he PEM but not of the drivetrain (security reasons and license of ac-propulsion as far as I know). instead a 70A single-phase it can also be a 3x 23.3 A charger. With the vienna charger system it cannot longer feed the grid, but is even more efficient and friendlier to the net because of creating less noise. Straubel did 3-phase charger for A-classe (3x16A). Some electronic freak has to open my PEM and check for the charging part. Maybe the charger is already organized out of several smaller ones?.

The goal for the EU is (imho):
* 3-phase support
* IEC61196-2-2 connector on the car

I suspect that Tesla will never get around to making this happen because they will always have other priorities in the future. Therefore, I would like to know whether anyone would be interested in helping me finance a third party effort to make these two modifications available to European Roadster owners?

I have a quotaiton of the tecnologie leader for wireless Charging for a 5kW Demonstator and upgrade for 22kW. It is cheaper than a 22kW onboard charger and do not need a plug, is 3ph on Offboard and my college is convener of IEC Wireless charging focus group.

I hope Teslamotors will wake up
