I have been considering this very thing. Not only could I charge a little faster it also means if for some reason the OBC quit I could still charge at home.
Me, too.
The EMotorWerks solution is about $4k. I could feed it as much as 80 amps single phase 240vac, about 20kw. 60 amps, 15kw, would be easier. The onboard imiev charger pulls about 2.7kw. I have several semi-conveniently positioned currently free chademos 30-50 miles distant from me. So, especially with two imievs, the 5x increase in charging speed at home is interesting and enticing, but not compelling.
Since my Tesla will charge at home at up to 80 amps (60 amps easily), the chademo would have no advantage for that car.
