  • False, the chargers have transformers, and I bet charging stations with 20+ chargers have local transformer stations too.
    For one transformer station to supply for instance 12 chargers at 100 amps each or 4 at 300 amps each is both 1200 amps.

    When you deliver the same energy in a much quicker time

    You obviously completely failed to understand my explanation that this is not what is happening on the scale of charging stations with many available charging slots.
    Obviously these 1,5 MWh charging stations will not be availbale at you local grocery store, they are part of bigger installations with probably already around 20 charging slots of 300-400 kWh charging capacity.








  • You have to consider that the amount of power needed is the same, it is just delivered quicker for the individual car.
    But spread among thousands of cars it all evens out, making the power delivery required mostly the same.
    Slower charging just means more cars are charging at the same time, and 50 cars charging at a lower rate is the same as 10 cars charging 5 times as fast, but also only a fifth of the time.

    So for the network it’s the same, it’s only for the individual charger that there’s a real difference.


  • This is very impressive, I just saw a Youtube video from Sweden about how insanely fast these new BYD cars charge 10-70% in 5 minutes!!!

    Meanwhile the new Tesla model Y that supposedly charge at 250 kWh, has one of the worst charging curves in the market, and drops off to only 100 kWh already at 35% charge level!!

    The new Tesla cars are actually worse than the old ones, because Tesla is using their own inferior battery design made for the Cybertruck, that Elon Musk used to rave about how amazing would be, but gave them so many problems to manufacture, and apparently this never got completely solved.

    Anyone who think Tesla is still a market leader or even just still a good option must be unaware of how bad Tesla is now compared to the competition. Tesla did some cool things early on, but they are nowhere near what their marketing is claiming.




  • Edit: I read the above as sarcasm, I don’t think Germany is still shunned, but it is for sure still remembered what they did in WW2.

    Original post:
    Has it been forgotten, if you mention Hitler, does anyone still remember? No it will not be forgotten, just as the USA helping Europe hasn’t been forgotten. But the reason Germany was slowly forgiven was first that they were split in 2 making the power of Germany smaller, it was a different time, with no prior historical lesson to learn from regarding Nazism. and that the political environment in both parts of Germany was changed completely, with Western Germany taking responsibility more than any country had done before them.






  • Videos proclaiming users are “Chinamaxxing,” or “in a very Chinese time of their lives”

    This sounds like bullshit, of course we know people have clubs that are fans of country music or Star Trek or whatever cultural things people may find interesting.
    But I never heard about USA maxxing, and I doubt there would be more reason to do that with China.
    Some Chinese cultural elements may be fun, popular and interesting, but Chinamaxxing sounds more like a mental health issue than a cultural thing. And definitely not an element of soft power.
