Charging Stations

My Chinese is not great but I think the Chinese Model S specs page still says will come with J1772 adaptor?

• 充电
• 10 千瓦车载充电器，输入兼容性：85-265 伏，45-65 赫兹，1-40 安（可选 20 千瓦双充电器，输入兼容性增加至 80 安）
• 峰值充电效率 92 %
• 10 千瓦通用移动连接器，110 伏、240 伏以及 J1772 适配器

Charging
10 kilowatts car charger, input compatibility :85-265 volts, 45-65 Hz, 1-40 Amp (optional 20 kilowatts dual charger input compatibility, increase to 80 amp)
Peak charging efficiency of 92%
Universal Mobile Connector 10 kilowatts, 110 volts, 240 volts and J1772 adapter

Tesla will supply a Universal Mobile Connector for China and not for HK??? Hard to believe that.

The HK specifications website had the same wording before it was changed. I'm sure thats not the final final spec.

The HK Tesla webpage will be updated soon to reflect the newly revised Hong Kong Model S charging strategy. The Model S is capable for 3-phase charging but Tesla does not have a 3-phase EVSE available yet as it is still under regulatory approval, I am told. Since we have 3-phase feed going to our property, I have revised my order to include twin charger to take advantage of 3-phase charging should Tesla releases their 3-phase EVSE.

Very cool. I believe this 3-phase HPWC would be of interest to EU as well. It will help Tesla homogenize all of the different plugs/adapters into a standard Tesla connector, which is definitely a big deal in EU.

Just got following good news:
The HK government has about 500 13A BS1363 charging sockets installed in their carparks. They will upgrade around 100 of these to 32A 220V 1-phase. They opted for 1-phase as several of their buildings are quite old and can't support 32A 380V 3-phase.
32A 220V 1-phase should give a range of around 30km/hr charge.

How is this going to matter for charging our Tesla model S cars - will we be able to use the full potential of the 32A?

It will allow more than double the range per hour charged than a 13A socket for the Model S

These are the 100 medium power stations promised by the CE in his policy address earlier this year. See here for details.

I hear that the upgrades will be a mix of government and CLP/HKE. The first have gone in to IFC recently.

LOL glad one year's time and changed for the better. I think EVs are here to stay.
