The site host, compared to others, probably offered the most space to install the pedestals and probably doesn't cost as much to lease. It's good that the good options are there. I think all future post should be installed perpendicularly like that pull in charger. That will allow vehicles to pull in or back in and pretty wouldn't matter what side the vehicle the charging port is one. But I also believe manufacturers should standardize on charger port location on cars. It just makes sense to have it on the side like Tesla has since that's the side you exit the vehicle on.

@johnpoldo8817 3 месяца назад

Payment terminals are SO old-school. They are one more point of potential failure. Every driver has a cell phone that can activate a charging session. Alternatively, RFID tags work well too.

@brandenflasch 3 месяца назад

Somehow payment terminals work on every single gas pump, cash register, etc without issue. RFID are horribly insecure.

@johnpoldo8817 3 месяца назад

@@brandenflasch Actually, I’ve seen payment terminals broken at gas stations and DC fast chargers. The best part is no part, so why add something that is totally unnecessary? Phone app with bluetooth can easily activate charger. One of the reasons Tesla superchargers are so reliable is they have minimal input/output devices, no terminals or displays.

@Weezedog 3 месяца назад

I believe payment terminals are a NEVI requirement, so if it's not a NEVI-funded site I'm sure Tesla removes them. I'm sure Tesla wants everything to go through the app and doesn't want anything to do with payment terminals unless required by law.

My wife and I just did 1000 miles to NW Arkansas and 1000 miles back from Charlotte... in our little Chevy Bolt. We almost got stranded though because the sleeve guide for the DCFC pins popped off! Lucky I saw it go flying and put it back on but we didn't know for 4 days if we would be able to fast charge, had no problems on the drive back. Bolt is now over 157k miles on the odometer. 😀 Looking to get a Model Y currently to use for road trips.

@WizdogC 3 месяца назад

After how much you've reported on the absolute abysmal charging performance of the 4680, it still doesn't cease to amaze me how bad it really is. At 23% just immediately falling off a cliff from around 168kw is insane. My 5+ year old Model 3 SR+ with over 100k miles on it will hold 175kw from 0-30% and then hit around 90kw at 50% which in comparison is pretty decent.

@louiedias996 3 месяца назад

Branden, super educational, thanks for posting. A few questions: 1. The standard Tesla V3 charger setup is a 600A cabinet to 4 dispensers, correct? My math tells me this can output a total of 498 kW, unless you have to derate by 25%. Does that mean the 250 kW posted limit on each dispenser could be reached if only 2 cars are charging? Would it split down to an avg of 125 kW if all 4 ports were being used? 2. Kinda related, would a set-up like this work for NEVI? My guess is not because they require 150 kW, just not sure if it allows for load sharing that might go below that. 3. Why are you shopping for Starbucks mugs?? You never actually say why, LOL. Thanks again for the great content!

@brandenflasch 3 месяца назад

1. Per NEC, any EV charging load has to be considered a continuous load and run at 80% of the circuit rating (unless on load management which Tesla sites are). Nameplate on Superchargers is 387kVA max continuous power and 465A max continuous current. Sites typically do not have enough installed capacity upstream of the cabinet to support running more than ~387kVA per cabinet and many are actually undersubscribed (utilities are able to allow this). 2. IMO, no. Tesla has decided they are NEVI compliant with this load management by only claiming 5/8 stalls (for example) and prioritizing them as NEVI stalls with 150kW min. However, this leaves no power for the other 3 stalls. 3. Shopping for mugs because my partner collects them - she has 40+!

@louiedias996 3 месяца назад

@@brandenflasch Ok got it, thanks. The video also shows some 180 kW units, you mention they're on a 300A breaker, but the cables can do a boost output of 400A. Is that because they stay within the NEC's limits for continuous loads, so they don't have to derate for that boost period? What would be the power output during the boost? Very sweet of you to do that for her :) Let me know if I can send you one from California
