[RE-wrenches] Fwd: Car charging station without grid

[Gary Willett]

Dana:

You're probably talking about a PV to 12V solution. The battery banks in 
EVs are high voltage (to minimize I2R losses).

And I'm sure that "...bypassing or paralleling the internal controls..." 
will result in a voiding of the EV warranty.
