These are the "Level 3" chargers which charge up to 100x (but usually only 10-20x because heat) faster than home chargers.

How many amps is that puppy pulling? 200? 3 phase?

Up to 500, although most are limited to 350, and yes I believe it's all 3 phase.

At home you don’t need to super charge in 20-30 minutes. Average at home service is 50 amps. I have 200amp service run to my house.

Who has 50 amp service? That sounds terrible. Doesn't a typical 2 Ton ac need 30amps?

Meant the average EV charger service is 50amps. Not household service. Code in out area you need to provide 200amps of service to a house.

My house was built in 55. I just got 100 amps. I thought I was fancy putting in a 50 amp sub panel on my garage in the spring
