You don't say? they have washing machines that they plug and unplug every single day? 2 lines, why didn't I think of that. Brilliant! It's so cheap to build a 3-phase charger at 400V at 32 amps so you can charge a 20kWh pack in 2 hours (60kWh in 6!). Everyone should do it. It makes perfect economic sense! It's exactly like gas. Everytime I want to fill up my car, I sit at the pump for 6 hours. But this battery tech will change all that. Yes, now that we have better longer-lasting batteries, it won't take so long to fill up. Nevermind that there is an ENORMOUS demand for batteries, that these are at least a decade away from production, and thusly economies of scale are already reached. But sure, continue to tell me the same old bullshit. eventually someone will believe it, and we'll all start living in the future.
- sarabob 15y agoI guess the reason that the US thinks that 220V is unsafe is the plug socket design? Could you adopt a new plug for existing 220V appliances (AIUI you have 220v for washing machines & dryers etc?). Then over time you could migrate all your plugs to the new sockets and voilá - the whole world gets to boil a kettle in a reasonable amount of time. Would still take 7 hours to charge your 20kWh car battery, natch.
