FAQ: - Where can learn more about batteries? http://j35.us/DIYlithiumBatteryBook
Chargeway's numbering system is fundamentally broken. Assigning stations numbers based only on the station isn't useful because the voltage of the car's battery pack matters. Some chargers have a high kW power output rating, but only because they support a much higher voltage than most cars' pack voltage. This means in practice two stations with the same Chargeway number could charge at drastically different rates on the same car.
Consider two chargers, one 175 kW and one 200 kW. What power will a 150 kW capable Mach-E get at low SoC? The same? Not necessarily. If the 175 kW charger is 350 A at 500 V, and the 200 kW charger is 200 A at 1000 V, then the 450 V Mach will charge at ~150 kW at the 175 kW charger, and only ~90 kW at the 200 kW charger! Yet, they would both be a "6" to Chargeway! They are just passing that confusion on to drivers ("Why is my car charging so slowly despite being at a 200 kW charger?") instead of taking voltage into consideration and customizing charger labels based on specific cars.
I had to go to a gas station today, first time in, I don't know, 6-8 months. Subaru had a recall. Anyway. I had to read the instructions! 3 different handles, like 6 different buttons to choose from. And it stunk to high heaven. It was a BROWN ONE experience.
The problem with the color coding approach is that it does not address the source of the complexity problem, which is OEMs trying to set up their own competing ecosystems, combined with lack of transparency by both charging equipment manufacturers and network operators. For example, one of our cars charges fine on ABB CCS chargers, half the time on BTCPower, and never on South Korean SigNet equipment. Yet ChargeWay will color them all the same and the networks will not identify the brand used or the cars they tested. Better for government to step in and mandate a single standard for each power level. Do Porche Taycans get a special color?
holy shit matt teske … ive done car shows with him back when he had his multiple cavaliers back in the jbody bash days its great to see you doing good matt keep up the great work on your company's
Hi Jehu, I'm putting this in the comments instead of the chat because it's on another topic. I noticed The Chevy Astro Van has a very similar seating position over the front wheel that a Chevy Bolt has. You probably know the Bolt is front wheel drive. It looks like you could cut the body off the Bolt and put the Van body on it. It would be best with the short version of the Astro Van because you'd want to move the back wheel wells forward about 6 inches. It should look ok. The width is good.
