150 kW charging is DC not AC, totally different circuits. I believe the US on-board charger is 9.6 kW (AC)

I'm thinking of a Clipper Creek myself. If I may ask, which model did you get?

From what I’m hearing, the j1772 plug (and the onboard Etron unit are the two limiting factors to going higher capacity?
so if I were to be willing and able to spend slightly more to go to Really bulk up the possibility, what would I be looking for in a faster charging unit?
I you actually need a faster charge rate, you can buy the Delta charger that is being installed at Audi dealers. It's 25kw DC via the CCS connector.

What electrical service would you need into the house to hook up this DC charger? Thanks.

The three input power options are listed at that link (240Vac1Ph, 208Vac3Ph, and 480Vac3Ph). I don't recommend anyone trying to use this at home as they spec a 165 amp circuit for 240Vac1Ph.

I linked the hardwired one by mistake, but I had a 14-50 installed and used the plug in.

I was thinking of the same one. If you can report your experience with it over the next week or two, that would be great.
