It's cool that it has/claims support for DC fast charging. All the custom conversions I've seen are AC only.

Very cool. Sometimes, DC fast charging is more accessible than AC.

It’s CHAdeMO - much simpler - and not CCS2

I am for sure not educated about the difference between CCS and CCS2 but it does say it's not just CHAdeMO https://openinverter.org/wiki/ZombieVerter_VCU#:~:text=ccs%2... and further down they cite a BMW i3 which I had and it fast charged to my satisfaction

The child comments are a bit all over the place, but I can clarify.

At present, the Zombieverter supports:

Chademo CCS by interfacing with the BMW i3 LIM CCS by interfacing with the open source FOCCCI CCS controller.

The FOCCCI CCS controller is an associated project. See https://openinverter.org/wiki/Foccci

FOCCCI is the newest kid on the block, but it has been successfully integrated into several conversions now.
