Don’t we still need a standard supercharging plug for electric vehicles?
- xsmasher 8y ago> 230 direct-current fast-charging stations, which can add 50 to 70 miles of range to a car’s battery in 20 minutes Not quite a supercharger, but not too shabby. Faster than my Level 2 home charger.
- r00fus 8y agoWe have an L3 DC-Fast charger at my work - I take my 110mi range Ford Focus EV from 10% to 95% in 30m. From near-zero I can get enough to drive home (40mi) in 20m.
- Maybestring 8y agoWith $210 million for medium and heavy-duty vehicle chargers, whatever they choose may become the de-facto standard.
- r00fus 8y agoTesla does it's own thing, everyone else is pretty much consolidated on CCS (with ChaDeMo thrown in there as an alternative port). Most fast charging stations have both major standards, and Tesla owners (like Mac owners) gotta dongle.
