The battery combine thing is the only thing I could see but again hard to know for sure if it's in LE, I take CS responses with a grain of salt. 300kw at 450v(if what someone said is right) is 666.6 amps, that would be pretty insane.
It will be that much faster because it almost has to be 800v, which means 300kw will be at a far lower current than 200kw at 480. Means cooler battery and more sustained rates. It doesn’t make sense though that they’d do 800v shortly after launch so makes us think they’re doing 480v, cause they...
And that's exactly why I said I wish they were less vague. @SANZC02 Now we have a CS saying yes but they excluded that definitive information for a reason. If they knew for sure there is zero reason to exclude that huge highlight.(Because yes, I'm a tough crowd), I'm not buying an suv with 300...
My point was that it’s a bit dramatic to think because battery improves, value of old ones will plummet to nothing. Model s early models sell for like 30k still and barely charger faster than a leaf, if that.
I think gas stations/stops are going to have to subsidize them a bit to widen the reach. On the Taycan cannonball run it wasn't too bad, they just had an issue with it being warmed up and requesting over 270kw
Yeah the 800v/400v systems and inverter are great, and the other thoughts are good as well. Being able to almost fully charge in 18 mins is really where we need to be until battery/motor efficiency improves by a lot.
That's so cool though, I love the idea of snowboarding without a ski resort. Though I'm sure they had pleasure of Rivian driving it back down for them lol.
Agreed, 140 in 20 is good, but if it falls off after that you're looking at like 1.5 hours to get to full, but if that's just remote chargers(pretty acceptable) no problem.
