William,
I would have to concur with Randy's chart pretty much. A couple
months a go we bought a 2012 Toyota RAV4 EV. I had just recently completed
an upgrade system here (4.5KW PV, Classic, 84 KW of Rolls batts and a
Radian). We are off-grid.
The research I did before purchasing our charger is the currently
available chargers max at 7.7 KW. Almost all of the level II chargers (240
volt) charge at one rate...I was able to find a charger made by Siemens that
has an adjustable charge rate which has proved very valuable being off-grid
(EG: varying solar resource, charging window, departure time, battery temp,
SOC, etc).
I'm not sure if there is any effort to market a residential charger
that will put out more than 7.7KW.

Friends:
I would not bother this group with a question I could easily answer for
myself with a little research. I thought I could find the answer to this
question on line but it has been very elusive:
Does anyone know the ratings for the available high power electric car
charger?
Thanks in advance.
