cheap, fast, good, its a rare moment to pick all three and the market is
most reservations about EVs are based on range anxiety, charging time and cost. only people with a certain level of advantage will pay to experience inconvenience, and that issue disintegrates at a certain threshold for a much broader population
I'm kind of torn myself. Although I'd like more range, 300 does get me where I'm going, and performance vehicles want less weight, not more.
Charging stations typically also have on-site battery storage to have peak charging power that exceeds grid supply (and also because energy arbitrage is profitable).
The letter of the law often says things like that.
These chargers are already deployed and used in China and Norway. There are also tens of thousands of 400kW chargers all over the world, even in the USA. People use them every day. It's not a hypothetical.
For the user the connector is foolproof and even a child can plug it in (the cable isn't energised until the plug is locked, all pins are connected and temperatures are nominal). It's safer than plugging in US 110V household plug.
The above has nothing to do about safety or how practical it is. It is about people who can apply the law to their twisted ends.
There are international standards for 1000 V and 800 V charging, but I have no idea whether they are allowed in NA.
As another poster has already said, like in USB chargers, the charging voltage is negotiated with the car and the old cars are charged slowly, at a low enough voltage for them.
For now, most of these fast chargers have been installed in China, but there are plans to install them also in Europe.
listen to them, solve their frictions related to considering EVs, and more people choose EV
