Pretty cool but can the charging infrastructure keep up!? That's a lot of power per charger.

- peutetre 2y ago400 kW chargers are being deployed now. Europe's charger infrastructure plan wants 400 kW chargers available on TEN-T (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-European_Transport_Network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-European_Transport_Netwo...) as a baseline by 2026, 600 kW by 2028: https://www.fleeteurope.com/en/new-energies/europe/article/fast-chargers-every-60-km-key-eu-motorways?a=FJA05&t%5B0%5D=Charging&curl=1 https://www.fleeteurope.com/en/new-energies/europe/article/f... Alpitronic and Kempower make the best chargers.

- defrost 2y agoA key figure for gauging transition would be the hourly | daily kW equivilent of petrol|gasoline|fossil fuel consumption for a 'medium' city of (say) 1 million population. How much additional electricity generation is required to replace petrol consumption (asuming electric cars, etc). Related figures are what tonnages of "final" LFP batteries does that imply, and what tonnages of raw material mined, concentrated, and processed does that imply. That kind of ballpark gives a feel for scaling out to larger country wide populations (along with variation on personal transport usage by city|country).
