    Is that 20kW (83 Amps)?

    Yes, I think it is supposed to be 20kW.
    It is also said to be about the same height as the old HPC, but 1/3 the width.

    Hpc 2.0

    First forum picture of HPC 2.0, courtesy of VFX:


    Similar design style, and car plug end as the UMC 2.0...

    As I write this we don't know many details, although I assume it does 208/240V AC, possibly up to 20kW (~80amps).

    I assume that it may be offered in different colors to match your Model S.

    Very sexy, though as someone pointed out, the cord length (if not extendable or a retractable setup) means it'll need to be placed strategically. If you pull into your garage then towards the door should work. I like to back in, while my wife pulls in forward, so... Solution is she won't be driving it

    If we have the HPC mounted inside the garage for our car, how do we make it available for traveler's use?

    One option would be to mount it on the outside of the front of the garage and only use it when I need a fast charge. Plug in the car to the regular outlet on a nightly basis.

    Doesn't look weather-proof...
