Less complexity? Or maybe it can and they just aren't describing it completely?Yeah but why the sharing only among a pool of 2 chargers? It's better to use the V3-like architecture where a single transformer can power any of several chargers at 250-350 kW. Because sometimes, the two that happen to need it at the same time happen to be next to one another.
I'm curious how it works. For example at a 4 stall site in Colorado they took out all of the power distribution cabinets and CCS only stalls. Then installed, I think, three power cabinets and three 350kW "dispensers". So is the remaining CHAdeMO/CCS stall sharing power with one of the new 350kW stalls? (Or maybe they didn't really replace the cabinet the CHAdeMO/CCS stall uses.) But I thought it was reported that all three 350kW stalls were labeled as "Balanced Power".
I suspect we will get more details as more sites are upgraded and people get more experience with how they operate.
I think CharePoint, and Kempower, both have hardware that can share power across all stalls on a site. But EA is using a combination of BTC and Signet power distribution cabinets, both hooked to I think BTC "dispensers" for their "next gen" installs.
