You can't blink with the advances in charging technology.

Really fast electric-car charging stations coming to a Walmart near you

Electrify America says that the Walmart installations will include DC fast chargers with up to 350-kw of power that can replenish 20 miles of range per minute—plenty to fill up your 200-mile electric car while you shop.

Interesting, but if they capture market share, what it to stop them from jacking up the price to charge?
Also, doesn't fast charging harm battery life?

I seriously doubt that safety regulation will be eliminated to allow for a charge rate of 350 kill-watts.

Come on now. You claim to have a BS in Electrical Engineering. Doesn't that sound fishy to you?

Number 35 was a post about other aspects of electric vehicle. For example, it takes me about 5 seconds to plug in my car when I get home. Meanwhile, you have to fight traffic to get to a pump and wait in line at the pump. You have to wait for credit card approval. You have to smell the fumes of all the vehicles pulling in and out of the gas station. And all that, so you can then be gouged by the oil companies, and use their polluting product.

You posted it. Don't disavow it. The clear message was overnight home charging -- not free movement.
It takes me about five minutes to fill up and go.

No. The number of charge cycles are what effect battery life. Here is a Depth of Discharge chart. EVs are programmed to only discharge 50-60%. Using that guidelines, batteries are getting 4000-5000 cycles. For some users, this may take 10-15 years.

Fair enough! but I think the heat from fast charging (chemical reaction) will have some effect.

As I read up on CCS 2.0, I noticed that 350 kWatts is the maximum allowable by that spec. The actual specs claim up to 1000 volts and up to 500 amps, which means the connectors are capable of 500 kW. However, by current US safety regulations, such power levels are not currently allow. We currently have a 600 volt limit before more serious safety considerations must be observed. 600 volts, even if they get to the 500 amp max is only a charge rate of 300 kWatts.

Your link source is no better than a blog. It appears they are citing the maximum allowable under CCS 2.0 rather than what the US safety standards will allow. Keep in mind, this is the same group that defrauded the USA with the VW diesel specs.

-edit add-

Yes, back to that 150 kWatt...

I believe it's 150 kilo-watts for transformers that safety standards are also seriously upped due to Arc-blast considerations.

Wasn't it in March, when Trump asked where was that Climate Change? Most of the US was not extremely hot in March, but around the world (including Alaska), the averages equate to the 2nd hottest March on record.

Global temperatures in March were second hottest on record

Temperatures in March were the second hottest on record around the globe, according to new U.S. government data.

Record-breaking highs in places like Alaska and Australia pushed last month near the top of the record books. The hottest March on record was in 2016, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data released Thursday.

Regions that experienced the hottest temperature variances last month were Australia, southwestern and central Asia, Alaska and northwestern Canada. Alaska and Australia had their warmest March temperatures since record-keeping began in 1925 and 1910, respectively.

All of the money spent thus far on climate change just proves the traveling global warming elixir salesmen could not change the weather if their pencil necks depended on it.

You are obviously not an Electric Engineer. I am. 1000 Volts and 500 Amps don't have to go together. For example, if they use 700 Volts with 500 Amps, that is exactly 350 KW. Capiche?

Um! 700 Volts and 500 Amps is 350,000 watts, or 350 KW!
I know those decimal places are tricky, but not that tricky!!

Thanks for the correction. I even had time to correct the post.

I didn't say they go together. Your failure once again to comprehend, is noted again.

No, you don't get it. I explained that the CCS 2.0 connectors needed to be rated to 500 KW. I never implied that power. I specifically pointed out USA safety requirenments are different at 600 volts, meaning with a maximum 600 volts and maximum 500 amps, you have a maximum 300 kW. Why are your comprehension skills so lacking?

Have you ever read OSHA regulations when dealing with 600 volts and higher?

Have you ever dealt with regulations dealing with arc-blast safety at power levers of 150 kilo-watts and higher?

You are simply talking out of pure ignorance.

There is no way in hell he is an electrical engineer. I'll bet I can run circles around him in that department. I'll bet he doesn't even know why we use 3-phase power.

If he actually has a BS degree.... man. Our schools are failing worse than I ever thought.

That is exactly my point, and I just made it on another thread. I AM NOT AN EXPERT! Even with a scientific degree, I admit that. However, you, Jack, Planar, Longview--- without any Scientific degrees --- you all claim to be experts, and act like you know more than the thousands and thousands of scientists worldwide.

I don't know more than the "thousands" of climate scientists. In fact, I agree with almost all the papers dealing with the climate sciences I have read. The problem is, you listen to the lying pundits who claim the papers mean things they don't, instead of reading and comprehending them yourself.

Actually if you really are a BSEE, it would easy for you to spot that there are a few things off with the high end of the predictions,
unless you choose not to!
I can tell you that most require 6 hours of University Physics (Calculus based),
which is a sufficient start to question many of the outrageous claims held up in the name of Science.

Please show three statements that you agree with, from the thousands of publishing scientists who author the IPCC reports.

You and I are not Climatologists. We know feedbacks exist from analyzing scientific links. But we don't know the science behind those feedbacks. These people spend their entire life studying these feedbacks, just like an open-heart surgeon spends his life becoming an expert in his field. Would you go to a blog site for information on open-heart surgery?
