32A at 240V (the standard for DC fast charging) is ~8kw, so you'd still be looking at 10 hours for a battery charge. Sufficient for my construction workers, insufficient for supporting long distance driving.
- bryanlarsen 4y agoI think we can agree that anybody who averages more than 400 miles a day is going to need more than 24A charging. Commercial drivers should be using commercial facilities, not residential ones.
- falcolas 4y agoAnybody taking a road trip falls into this category. You couldn't drive from San Francisco to LA without access to L3 charging.
- bryanlarsen 4y agoBoth 24A and 48A charging are both similarly insufficient for a road trip, so I'm unsure how your comment relates to thatfrenchguy's original comment.
- falcolas 4y agoHis original comment says no L3 capable charging should be allowed, with the only exception requiring a huge investment in expensive battery storage (Lithium Ion packs cost around $200 per kWh, built at a MWh scale) - something unprecedented with gasoline infrastructure.
- sokoloff 4y agoCan you link to the comment you're referencing? I can't see where anyone said that.
- bryanlarsen 4y agoThe original comment says nothing about L3 charging. It says nobody needs 48A charging, which is a type of L2 charging.
