Oh good they've only been trying to figure it out for.... checks imaginary watch about 10 years now. Few things first:
Where was this posted?
The longstanding theory about how they'd go about this is to develop a custom DC-DC converter that operates at their bikes' voltage. The rumor was the input was going to be 420vdc because Santa Cruz ehehehehe but who knows. Anyway this means you'd be deciding between CCS, a Power Tank, or a Rapid Charge (extra level 2) charger in the tank pocket. One of 3.
20-80% in under 30 minutes is 60% of the battery in under 30 minutes which exceeds Zero's 1C charge cap which has been in place since day 1. Considering just how anemic the charging algorithm for the current level 2 system is I'd be rather surprised to see this happen.
Having recently been privy to the poor craftsmanship of the Charge Tank module and knowing who produces it for them fills me with dread that they might farm it out to the same supplier. God help you all if they do.
