> We estimate that the cost of the bill of materials and assembly of a galvanically isolated charging port is about $300 per kilowatt. So a single 300-kW port in a public charging station includes about $90,000 of power electronics, of which about $54,000 is for the isolation link.

I would love to see a concrete BOM for a sample build and mouser links to back this up.

Seems ridiculously high, like paying some military/space grade premiums, or just using very niche parts without economies of scale driving the cost down.
