If Calex sells their Green Watt charger directly to the public or to other manufacturers, I wonder what other products use it?
Perhaps some forklifts? The Delta-Q chargers were not originally designed for Zeros. They were designed for forklifts and small modifications made them ideal to work with Zero models.

Perhaps some forklifts use the Calex as an OBC?

It seems unlikely that companies that run forklifts and the like would put up with any electronic device like a charger that was not very reliable and had a long lifespan - unlike the Zero OBC. But the Delta-Q chargers must be pretty good. When i visited Zero's factory during their 10th anniversary open house, I saw rows of the things charging newly assembled batteries. And there was not a Calex charger in sight.  ::)

Ah, the famous Delta-Q array next to a household box fan for cooling.

Also I just found this super relevant video posted to YouTube:
