Others have said that they have encountered a Bakersfield based mobile tech hanging out at Kettleman between assigned jobs.they should keep a "mobile" service team there!

Thats pretty cool. They could just stay there all day and deal with the airbag recalls, etc...Others have said that they have encountered a Bakersfield based mobile tech hanging out at Kettleman between assigned jobs.

Gotta love Kettleman. 30 stalls is "reduced service."The “reduced service” message at the moment is due to maintenance on the solar panels; there are still ~30 Supercharger stalls available.

I'm curious how crowded it is during Holiday weekends? The 4th was a bit different because it was a Thursday, but did it get full on Memorial Day? Maybe this Sunday will be a similar type day?
However with 40 stalls and a typical charging session of less than 30 minutes, there was a space opening up every minute on average, so even a queue of a few cars isn't a big deal.
One of the key points with V3 is that it has integrated battery storage to buffer the grid. However, when you have an ongoing holiday rush at a site like Kettleman, there's only so much buffering you can do.I suppose this fact kind of makes V3 retrofits at Kettleman less of near term priority. Also the power usage when Kettleman is full is already gigantic. Swapping 40 stalls to V3 would brown out the local grid under full load.
If V3, then 40 stalls X 250kW = 10MW under full load? I guess actually in the grand scheme of things that's not that much draw compared to some industrial power users. Nothing to sneeze at, but not insurmountable.One of the key points with V3 is that it has integrated battery storage to buffer the grid.

Isn't that the point of V3? I know it doesn't stay at 250kW for long before it tapers, but if 40 cars, all empty, plugged in at once isn't that a worse case scenario?I don't think all 40 stalls can deliver 250kW simultaneously.

That doesn’t sound right.Also each 250 KW is shared by two stalls. Which means 40 stalls at peak would be 5 MW load worst case.
You are correct. I didn't realize that V3 design on changed from V2 which had paired stalls.That doesn’t sound right.
I thought it was a 1MW cabinet that will serve 4 stalls.
25!!!!!! Think about that for a second. How many stations are there in the world with 25 or more stalls? Probably less than five. By 2025, that will need to be common. WOW.I went to Kettleman on Sunday June 30th. Max amount of cars was 25 around 2pm.
19 per supercharge.infoHow many stations are there in the world with 25 or more stalls?
