Electric car charging goes very fast

BMW and Porsche have jointly introduced the original "Fastgaght" station. It charges electric cars faster than anything in the past, but this system is only available in Europe for now. The good news for those with electric cars in the U.S. is that a more reliable public charging network is now available nationwide. But before we get to the details, let's take a brief look at the current state of electric car charging.

Electric car owners typically charge wherever there is a charging station with parking. Unlike most gas car owners, electric car owners don't wait until their cars are almost empty to "charge." This means they are always looking for a higher entry point, but most electric car charging nowadays takes place at home.

Public charging networks come in three varieties: free, paid and subscription-based. There may be coverage, such as a network sponsored by a certain vehicle manufacturer that allows owners of that brand of vehicle to charge for free, while others require payment for vehicle use.

Currently, the fastest electric vehicle chargers tend to be on public networks and can charge an electric vehicle 80% in about 30 minutes. There are currently three main types of chargers, known as Level 1, 2 and 3.

• Level 1 is designed to charge at 120 volts and provides 1, 4 kW of power; it takes 17-25 hours to fully charge a car with a 100-mile (160 km) range. In other words, Tier 1 charging occurs at home when the EV is plugged into a night outlet.
• Level 2 charging stations are designed for 208-240 volts and 6.2-7.6 kW. These stations can charge an EV with 100 miles in 4-5 hours. That's a very long time to leave your car plugged into a charger at the grocery store. Until recently, however, these were the stations of choice for most electric car drivers. Level 2 chargers are available to consumers for installation at home and come in a wide range of makes and models. It is important for buyers to make sure that the charging system they purchase is compatible with their car model in terms of charging capacity.
• Level 3 chargers provide 20-50 kW of power and can charge a car in as little as 20 minutes, but not all cars can use a Level 3 charger. Tier 3 stations are designed for public use.

Designed specifically for Tesla vehicles, the Tesla supercharger network has been raised to the market as the standard to which the rest of the EV infrastructure must conform: it operates at 150 kW; it can charge a car in just 20 minutes; it can charge a car in just 20 minutes; it can charge a car in just 20 minutes. That's enough to charge many cars in just one hour; a blower running at up to 120 kW can charge a Tesla 80% in about 30 minutes.

The latest original chargers

BMW and Porsche's new chargers are important because they can add 62 miles (99 km) in just three minutes. That's more than twice as fast as Tesla's current-generating overload charger. The system operates at 450 kW, but is currently ahead of utility use because no electric vehicle can get much of a charge. Cars and chargers have mechanisms to prevent the battery from burning out, allowing most of them to be used. The new original FastGaght charging stations are free and can be used in electric cars with Type 2 chargers.

The prototype used for growth and testing required an upgrade to the battery cooling system, and a special liquid charging cable was developed for the charger. BMW and Porsche have partnered with Siemens AG, Allego GmbH and Phoenix contact e-Mobility GmbH.

Americtify America, an electric vehicle advocacy organization created in the context of Volkswagen's legal compensation for the Dieselgate fiasco, also has the highest electric vehicle numbers, not VW diesel cars (along with Audi and Porsche). It is as clean and effective as any promotion on the market. As part of this initiative, Electorify America is developing new, stronger phases across the country.

Meanwhile, electric car owners can already use these chargers today. Both upgraded batteries and charging features are working. However, this means that currently these chargers still only provide range and speed for electric cars. lt; pangt; Faster charging of electric cars is also advocated by the voters - the U.S., that is, the American Defense Organization. Created in the context of judicial compensation for the Volkswagen diesel fiasco, the electric car advocacy organization deliberately hides the fact that its diesel cars (along with Audi and Porsche). were neither as clean nor as efficient as those being promoted. As part of this initiative, Electorify America is developing new, more powerful phases across the country.
