There is literally zero space to have any more dispensers. In fact, it should be a 6 dispenser site, but there was no space. There are 3 power cabinets on the site, so figure out which is the lucky one dispenser to get a power cabinet all to itself and will therefore never derate. I know one...

There are a couple strategies, but it does take careful planning and it depends on your risk tolerance. To minimize charging time, you want to be get the battery to low SOC, like 10%, because you'll get max average power charging from like 10%-70%. So you can drive faster to target arriving at...

A bit more specifically, there are temperature sensors in the charging handle and the charge port inlet on the vehicle side. Charging derating occurs whenever either side gets too hot. Aside from the adapter being an additional heat generating resistor in the circuit, it starting off already hot...

By they, remember it's Tesla who is making these things. And they have to dish out to the 10s of thousands of Ford EV owners too.

Does your AC unit have a modern inverter compressor? That's industry speak for variable speed compressor. I THINK the modern inverter compressor units avoid the super high current draw spike on startup as they can start at a slower compressor speed. I wonder if your portable unit has a starter...

I think the R2 buyer will be the more cost conscious buyer overall. The base EV Macan starts at basically double what a base R2 will start for price. The brand snobbery is strong. Even with the Porsche-sphere, there's strong model snobbery. "Oh, you only drive a Boxster/Cayman? You lowly little...

There are U-shaped units that are purely AC. The one you pointed could be considered 'saddle' shaped. I picked up this Midea 8000btu unit from Home Depot recently. $350 before taxes! Pulls a nominal 710W, so it won't be a large current draw on the truck outlet...

I just got a ride in the Macan EV Turbo at the Porsche Experience Center LA. It's definitely quick. Porsche says 0-60 in 3.1. I think it may be a little faster, maybe high 2's. Not down to mid-2's though. In my opinion, it's a different target 'feel' than the R2. You don't buy a Macan to go...

That means no less than 150kW a charging dispenser!

Did they have power? Or was power off to everything? As you said 8 chargers, it sounds like the Waypoints where off too and those are powered separately from the power cabinets and dispensers. In that case, it sounds like the breaker in the substation to the whole site was tripped. So someone...
