The mainstream electric vehicles are growing
It is on the radio this morning that the big three German BMW, VW and Mercedes plan a fast charging network to set up by 2018 What has been published is still sketchy, but considering the restaurants gas stations German Autobahn They provide a full charge in half an hour, I think so a charger with 200 kilowatts taking a plug type 2 Mennekes European CCS with two strong additional current conducted It is not yet known whether additional cables CHAdeMO, Type 2, Tesla will be provided if they will only provide CCS then it will give a big boost to the effort to establish a single cap throughout Europe, but locks Tesla.
Tesla has joined the initiative charging interface eV - Short CHARIN eV in February.
- Develop and implement the CCS combined charging system as the standard for charging electric battery powered vehicles of all kinds - Develop standards of the evolution of the requirements of load and develop a certification system for manufacturers CCS implementation in their products - promoting CCS standard worldwide.
Tesla has so far no CCS and CCS adapter connector does not fit into the space of the current charge harbor The problem, I think, is the load CCS protocol that is totally different protocol Tesla CHAdeMO But we'll see if Tesla plans to offer an adapter will be one of the first to buy one.
The company that developed the CCS Connector is known to work on a CCS cap backwards able to handle up to a voltage of at least 800V to keep current below 300 A to reduce the cable and connect the heating and losses .
SilverP85plus I do not understand why they do t team with Tesla and expand the high-powered network already in place do the Germans hate the United States so much.
No, it's like the Steve Jobs of Apple problem Necessarily, Tesla went with a proprietary solution that is incompatible with other high power more standard early Being load systems involves risks See Betamax - better technology, Tesla never accepted didnt quite an installed base still able to claim set a standard, and offers free access patents was an egalitarian perspective of marketing, not reality no other automaker will make a vehicle that is designed to connect to a marked white mast tesla It is not averse - are entitled to a certain pride in engineering.
Are entitled to a certain engineering pride - as German, I can not find pride in the development of CCS.
The only advantage is that CCS 400 or the more convenient quick and rest stops are the property of the federal government and Tesla never had access to these places.
The connector 10 is really not the problem and Tesla could easily exchange inexpensively What has been omitted is to standardize the location of the charging port - trying to manage a cable 20 feet able delivering 200 kW.
Good to know, thanks But why incremental Why not take a bold step and go to 200kW The problem I see, there is the ability to connect to the network may be the next step in the evolution has to buffer the Powerpack peak demand.
Money, you should be happy for a separate network allows you to save more congestion SC But seriously, as I said, Tesla says not a word about the CSC although they are members of the consortium and Europe CCS is approved by most of the players and it is necessary for European subsidies to install the network, I'm not really fond of the plug as it is a little awkward just as the great CHAdeMO connector, but it is the evidence relatively future.
In addition, 145 kW stall feels a new architecture of the battery with a voltage of 480 V to 480 V 300A x 145 kW.
Money, you should be happy for a separate network allows you to save more congestion SC.
If each manufacturer meets and money network adapter from the pool, the network can be greatly expanded and avoid congestion as I have already said.
The idea of the Germans set up their own network like having a diesel station, regular gasoline, premium and gas in the intermediate category of separate stations There is no comparison to VHS vs Betamax or Blu-ray vs hdd Tesla will not change their supercharger connectors, as they have over 500k and more cars with this plug in their cars.
The Mercedes all-electric SUV is not vaporware I saw the production of the road will start in about a year.
People also see hydrogen cars being driven on the road tested and again.
Until you can order up a deposit for a vehicle, it is just a concept prototype.
The German automakers Tesla EV gain momentum, German, tesla, happy separate network.
