This was mentioned on the recent post about ChaDeMo charging:

Seems more elegant, and more efficient (12 kW!) than carrying around 3 or 4 Delta-Q chargers (5 kW Max). Just wondering if anyone has one - what has your experience been? Do you recommend it?

I think Electric Terry is the only one who has a DigiNow charger right now. The rest who ordered with the initial production batch should hopefully get them in March.
The DigiNow Super Charger probably has a lot in common with the 12kW emotorwerks charger since DigiNow worked with emotorwerks but they aren't identical. DigiNow is designed to fit under the Zero power tank plastic. At 12x12x12 the emotorwerks wouldn't fit in that spot but might fit in a top box.

Terry Hershner is the only person who has one now. Several of us have ordered them and they have gone through some extra testing so the shipments have been delayed. Trust me, as soon as we have them there will be plenty of reviews!

How do you even go about ordering them?
-
I don't think you can order one just now. I'm sure there will be a website in due course.

Brandon Miller, a.k.a. electric cowboy, took orders last year. If you're interested contact electric cowboy. They are not taking orders right now.

I understand the diginow supercharger is the emotorwerks 12KW version altered to fit in the Zero "tank" area by removing fans. With fewer fans it can do about 9KW, but I think we should expect that to vary with environmental temperature. I may have gotten diginow and emotorwerks backwards in that first sentence.
I'm told #3 might be delivered soon. I'm #13. When mine is ready, I plan to go down to emotorwerks in San Carlos to pick it up. IIRC they had hoped to begin delivering them in November but there have been some delays. I guess they want to get the programming and interfaces right before they release too many into the wild. They may be prioritizing people with models and years they hadn't previously tested.
Communication could be better. They offered me a refund when I made that point elsewhere, I must have sounded dissatisfied, but I declined. A 9KW will let me do my 200 mi round trip commute days, with a meal break each way, on a Zero instead of on gasoline- that's very valuable to me and I'm impatient to get there.
