This kind of checks out with the price of 200kW and 400kW chargers from Alpitronics: https://www.connect-gp-joule.de/en/shop/dc-charging-stations...

Between €67k and €102k (for some reasons VAT included in that price) for these units.



That's the product. I'm not questioning the price of those, but the price of components vs markup

Show me the IGBTs and inductors that cost 90k.
