$8000 for a single port unit that works on single phase, $7500 for 3-phase. clicky-clicky

The dual port one with CHAdeMO as well is still $10,000 though.

Thanks for the link.

Yeah, a bit pricey, but the price has already come down a bit. It will come down more.

3 hour full charge at home or work? 30 min for 50 miles worth when you just need a bit more?

I could see it making sense if you have 2 or 3 EVs in the family, or own a business, or it was $2000.

Did you know San Franciso has a DC power grid?

Yup. You can buy 250 volt DC power right from PG&E. About 1,000 customers do so today.
This is to run 100 year old motors in very old buildings.

With solar panels and BEV's becoming more and more prevalent, there may just be a DC power grid coming to your neighborhood in the next decade or two.

This will make DCFC at home possible at low cost.

DC-DC conversion is expensive. Transformers which are cheap, only work with AC current. So 250vdc is harder to work with than 460 3-ph (which is actually over 500v).
