Mercedes charging hardware is great. There's no reason to choose Tesla over that. Especially if it's cheaper than Tesla. It's important...

Yes, the Lectron UL rated one is $179 but is still rated for only 500 amps. It seems to be a more robust build though.

Indy avocado replied to the thread R2 10-80% charge test (by State Of Charge).I have a lot to say, but for now, I will just leave this: The broader IEC 62196 family has moved well past 400A. IEC 62196-1 (both the...

Indy avocado replied to the thread R2 Charging & Range: A Data-Driven Look.Absolutely agree. Yes, 200kW flat to 80% would give a 10-80% in 18 minutes. Not China fast, but would be right there amongst the best...

Indy avocado reacted to mkhuffman's post in the thread R2 Charging & Range: A Data-Driven Look with Like.
If the Gen3 R1 Max moves to 180 kWh, I feel 800V will be necessary to keep DCFC times reasonable. Maybe they will use the R1 to...

Indy avocado replied to the thread R2 10-80% charge test (by State Of Charge).Checks out: IEC 62196-3 does list a 1000V/400A rating for the CCS1/CCS2 DC pins That's the natural-air-cooled baseline for the...

If cost is your concern, then you need to add in the extra cost of adapting to a 400V charger. GM and the Cybertruck splits the pack...

This goes against physics. A smaller rim will give better range with all other things being equal.

Yeah I’m not buying any of that. With the same tires on the 20” and 21” rims, the 20” will provide better range. It’s not a lot more though.
