Charging

Within 8 months, IONITY installed 50 stations The installations of IONITY fast charging infrastructure accelerated and the number of stations increased to 51 out of 400 planned in Europe. Interestingly, another 43 stations are at various stages of construction. The pace of installations is...

Aston Martin says they use 18650 format cylindrical cells in a 800V configuration for significantly quicker fast charging. If you couple similar batteries in parallel you retain voltage, and in series you double voltage. If high voltage is the key to charging, wouldn't it be as simple as to...

I've had discussion about the use of EV batteries (while still functioning in the cars) for smoothing the power peaks on the grid. Cars can be charged when supply exceeds demand and discharged when demand is higher. This can potentially eliminate the capital and operational expense of...

The typical home built in the last 40 years has 200 amp service and so can draw up to 40 kW continuously. I've read the distribution grid is designed for an average load of 4 to 6 kW per home. Can anyone confirm this number? Depending on the part of the US you live in many homes use a heat...

I finally found a way to remind my wife to charge her Model 3 when she pulls into the garage. Bought this LED LightBox Sign on eBay: Listing: Tesla Roadster Model S/X Logo AUTO CAR DEALER 3D Carved LED LIGHT BOX SIGN | eBay Images from listing:

I have a Juicebox 40A EVSE with 14-50 plug I would sell for $280 + shipping or free local delivery. The output is J1772. Only used for one year about twice a week. Will recharge anything you have. Available new online for $440, so my discount is honest. Perfect condition and works great. I...

Last night, I plugged in my Model 3 into my home HPWC like normal. About 30 minutes later, I checked my phone to see if charging was going good, at which point I noticed it was only charging at 32A. Entered my car and noticed the following error: "Charge speed reduced, unplug and try again...

I am considering getting a monthly space in Manhattan and a lot of garages in my neighborhood (near Columbus circle) are running promotions as low as $159/month + tax. of course, as soon as I inquired about these rates I was told that "Teslas pay an extra $200/month for insurance reasons" so...

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is a sponsored post from EV charging installation specialist DCC. Home charging has many difficulties when it comes to installation in multi-residential homes, but solutions have emerged for the most common issues. Condo charging installations generally get blocked by...

I was charging on a trip a few days ago and found the Supercharger stalls adequately cleared, but just barely. They don't have long hoses on them and if the plow pushes the snow in their direction they wouldn't be accessible. I guess the plow operators have been told to clear the snow from in...

I'm curious what other Model 3 owners have decided for their garage charging needs. It seems my installer and Tesla themselves are pushing me to get a HWPC, but I am leaning toward just a NEMA 14-50 @ 60 amps and taking the mobile connector with me when I travel and/or relying on Super Charging...

I have 200 amps coming to the house, 150 for the home and 50 for my wall connector. This is my first winter with the 3 and noticing it charges slower but still plenty at ~60km/h @10kW (summer was ~70km/h). I've been checking prices and it's not a big deal to buy a 60 amp breaker, then I could...

A new post by Bjørn Nyland about problems with charging in the cold. The video starts out with a test of another brand and discussion of the I-Pace et. al. About 15:30 he starts talking about why the Teslas aren't so bad. I found this very interesting.

I'm at a corporate party in phx Az and just crashed the Circle K corporate party next to ours. I walked up to a table and asked "How long until you add charging stations?" The answers shocked me. "Ain't gonna happen... maybe in about 50 years". I reminded them that they dont actually make...

Hi guys, Is there any cable out there that is longer than 20ft for charging? Want your recommendations if there are any... Thanks in advance!
