% Tesla released pr on their higher 350kWh superEVSE %
https://www.teslarati.com/elon-musk-teases-new-tesla-supercharger-v3-for-late-summer-release/ May 22, 2018 ... (CTO Straubel said V2) "350 kW charger is that it doesn’t actually make a ton of sense, unless you got a monster battery pack or have like a crazy high C rating… We think 350 kW for a single car; you’re gonna frag the battery pack if you do that. You cannot charge a high-energy battery pack at that rate, unless it’s a very high kW battery pack. So, (for us), something along the couple of hundred, 200-250 kW, maybe.” % And previously Tesla released pr on their cheaper 75kWh superEVSE % (dated) https://electrek.co/2017/09/11/tesla-unveils-new-urban-supercharger-with-slower-charge-rate/ Tesla unveils new ‘urban’ Supercharger with a slower dedicated charge rate Sep. 11th 2017 ... “Superchargers in urban areas have a new post design that occupies less space and is easier to install, making them ideal for dense, highly populated areas. To increase efficiency and support a high volume of cars, these Superchargers have a new architecture that delivers a rapid 72 kilowatts of dedicated power to each car. This means charging speeds are unaffected by Tesla vehicles plugging into adjacent Superchargers, and results in consistent charging times around 45 to 50 minutes for most drivers.” That’s down from Tesla’s main Superchargers having a capacity of up to 145 kW and Tesla’s vehicles being capable of supporting up to 120 kW. Though the capacity of current Supercharger stations can be split between two stalls and therefore, depending on how many vehicles are at a Supercharger station, it can affect the charging rate. Those new stations have a dedicated charging capacity of 72 kW per stall – meaning that the overall charging capacity of the station stays roughly the same as the non-urban Superchargers ... https://electrek.files.wordpress.com/2017/09/supercharging-cities-announcement-e1505135494213.jpg?quality=82&w=1500#038;strip=all&w=1600 % (summarized): A (non-shared) gen1 Tesla supercharger has an output of 150kW, but their EVs can only draw 120kW. ?So, a 350kW V2 superEVSE would only really be useful to Tesla semi-trucks, right? I got to see the (above) cheaper lower power Tesla superEVSE when I attended the tail end of the 5/12 Dallas, TX supercharger party https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/north-texas-supercharger-party-saturday-may-12-2018.114856/ (my thanks to Willie for his gnerous offer, and to the NTX Tesla group for putting up with a (non-Tesla owner) crashing their party, yakking and asking problably way too many EV questions. I learned a great deal by making the long to&from trip to attend :-) That Tesla superEVSE installed at: https://www.plugshare.com/location/152120 was the cheaper 75kW type. The NTX Tesla drivers really did not mind that those lower power / slower superchargers took longer. That 75kW superEVSE is still pretty fast when compared to 50kW public CHAdeMO or ccs L3 EVSE. IMO, I think if all L3 EVSE used the Tesla standard, it would resolve so many issues. A 150kw charging capability with its lighter cable is very slick. % For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/archive/ {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
