Am I the only one that gets some crazed Volvo ad when trying to watch the video?

It worked for me with no issues...the article is really more useful. The video is fluff...

One thing I don’t think was accurate was the statement that if someone plugs in next to you, your charge rate can drop by half at v2 chargers. I assume they work the same as v1 chargers that share and that the second car will get the power not being consumed by the first car, up to 120 kW, but the power delivered to the first car is unchanged.

Do we know yet if the v3 chargers are paired?

That's not quite right for v2 chargers. V2 chargers have 4 internal "chargers." The first car gets up to all 4. The second car gets at least one. So if car 1 plugs in and is getting 120 kW and car 2 plugs in, car 1 drops to 90 kW and car 2 gets 30. These are rough numbers as the newer 150 kW chargers can provide a bit more juice. Car 2 doesn't get more than 30 kW until car 1 drops to 60 kW or less.

They are not.
