Hey nice! Testing out one of the DCFC Veefil RT units right now and it’s working great. Note the amazingly thin profile of the unit itself.
The Tesla stations on the roof are giving my Model 3 48 amps. No QR codes up yet so it looks like no payment method is in place yet for Powerflex. Not sure if the Tesla connectors will go higher. Maybe @MITE46 can chime in? Nothing nearby but Caltech. Starbucks a few blocks West on California.
@RubberToe we just passed each other! L2s (left side) and HPWCs for days upstairs where RubberToe was Some gorgeous hard conduit art as well! Bravo @MITE46!
So amazed and very proud of knowing your accomplishments that you shared here. Fascinated on the information provided along with the pictures, I believe I overlooked the main concept until I read the abstract from the grant. Incredible thinking creating the adaptive charging network. One point I believe I missed was the importance of the users data. I originally thought you was looking to capture data on just the usage but as I furthered understood, having departure time was crucial in making the ACN work. As most say as I, you rock George. Best wishes in your future travels Sir.
Oops, my bad on the photos, been so long I forgot how to correct post photos! Anyway, on the research data side, we do have data sets on charge stations if people are interested: The Adaptive Charging Network - Caltech We have started to wire HPWC to 48A as less and less vehicles will have dual chargers. Especially, if there are (4) 50kW DC FC on the first floor with Tesla CHAdeMO adapters (adding this week).
Here's another recent install...160+ stations, single garage. Stations as far as the eye can see! If your workplace is in California and needs 100+ stations, we can probably help. =)
Usually $3k a port when 30+ ports. Lots of grants in California, sometimes we can get it done for net $0.
I don't understand these 100+ charger install in an garage that very few EV driver actually use. Is there such massive demand of charging in a SINGLE location? Why not change the strategy to, for example, 20 chargers install in 5 different locations in some busy/convenient location or even shopping mall parking garage where tons of people actually use the charger? I think this strategy would make much more sense to speed up the adoption of EV.
