Dude is an excited salesman. I wish more EV infrastructure charging nerds were more like him.

[@DruceTaylor]

Really need a number of these installed into remote areas of Western Australia. It will really open up travel and tourism opportunities in EV vehicles.

[@scottbursch3324]

So glad you’ve done these last couple videos of NU. I’ve invested a chunk in ATLIS before they went public. Gotta say I like the new direction their taking. Should lead to some decent income before making the really heavy invest into an auto maker. Unfortunately I could not make their event last weekend. So watching your video is the next best thing. Thanks Kyle, keep us all informed.

[@TheAdventureAuto]

This guy is great. He loves his analogies.

[@adamchoi8136]

This is quite impressive and a company that seems quite passionate for the future of charging infrastructure is commendable.

Victor is a great, knowledgeable, positive spokesman. And every time he says something I hear Roman Roy's voice 😂

[@4literv6]

I'd like to see something like this on the back of trucks which can respond to any emergencies and roadside rollouts. Along with dropping it off in areas that have planned events like tesla did with the portable megachargers for coachella recently. Maybe nxu can be really smart and go after portable generator replacements? Like anywhere a diesel generator is used now, county fairs anyone? How about for construction site use which are slowly switching to electric cranes, drill rigs, backhoes etc? And need something like this to recharge the equipment. Backing up big box stores with solar systems? Adding drop in multi charger nevi compliant systems in areas with tough local permitting or low power availability so high grid upgrade costs? If this can do 1+mwh with 4-6 150+kwh charger heads it would automatically be nevi compliant. 🤔 Also those prefab 30kwh pack's might be easily sold for ev conversions.

[@bradmagnuson6963]

Say no to diesel powered generators. There are portable battery units the size of a mobile home

[@scubafrost2007]

I would love to see these here in CT. We need more charging infrastructure. I am on the 84 side and its far and few.

[@tjackele]

So can you tell us the charge time for that session? I am curious if this was close to the best real world you would expect and what that time is?

[@georgesackinger2002]

Promising tech but how practical is a cube for an EV. Lots of wasted space which there is not of extra. Great video. Your enthusiasm is infectious.

[@joejarvis2497]

I love your collaborations with these guys. Thanks for the video.

[@irfanhusein1445]

The best place for these chargers would be at existing truck stop gas stations along major highways. The placement design should be pull through like gas pumps are currently so EV’s with trailers can charge with ease.

[@evoutdooradventures]

Finally something that can produce a quick charge. Please bring some of these chargers to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania we need more dependable and better chargers. This market is always behind with adapting to new tech.

[@WeeZER-Drinks-Coffee]

What a phenomenal company! Great video.

[@trzarector]

I really like Atlas aka NU and wish them nothing but the best. This gets me very excited.

[@EVAdventuesRob]

@@tjackele great to hear. Last I was there EA only had one handle working

[@KingOfKYA]

I hope the read this but please keep it a simple website and a qr code and a basic payment website. Don't have an app unless it adds something that you cant do on a website. And have a backup system if all network access to the charger goes down. Maybe a prepaid card the phone could generate(think giftcard but encrypted) that the station can scan or something if everything fails.

[@Iceeeen]

Yeah, nothing more annoying than stupid apps. Qr yes thankyou, Have Kempower somehow manged to get a patent on that solution or is every other around just so far behind?

[@78katz]

Wow, the Lucid looks like it drove through a herd of frogs.

[@arunsubramanian7949]

We need this kind of infrastructure in Canada

[@tazeat]

So how much current can they push through the cable and what's their strategy to keep it cool? We didn't actually talk about any of the nerdy details of how it works?

[@JohnSnarski]

So the top charging speed with the Lucid was 278KW and the average seemed to be around 198KW is that correct?

[@cruiser97eric1]

Getting the battery pack from ambient temperature to 60C in a couple of minutes at start of charge is simple, but getting it from 60C back to ambient temperature at end of charge in a couple of minutes is a different story. I want to see proof that they can fit a cooling system capable of doing that in a normal-sized and normal-looking EV.

[@kentgabriel3572]

I just want a public charger here in my town. unless you live in a house here you can't really own an EV.....Litchfield IL needs one of these full charging stations with convenience store etc...would be a dream come true and I could finally pull the trigger on purchasing an EV!

[@BeanEW]

These guys know what they are talking about.

[@d3xbot]

I really love the comparison to Fastned. Everything I've seen out of them makes me wish the US had an equivalent charging network (or Fastned US lol). If they stand up to that comparison, they'll set the standard for US EV charging stations!

[@chunkychuck]

Please build stations that do not require an app. There are still large parts of North America that do not have cell service still. Even besides that, many people do not want to use an app.

[@kubi0461]

I wonder about the financial viability of such a system when that large of a battery capacity. I get the feeling it’s at least partly dependent on selling power back to the utilities during peak demand times. Otherwise it seems like it would take 10 years of charging fees to pay the cost of the “station” not including any maintenance over that period.

[@banjax80]

Think of all the parties involved. Governments, utilities, industrial, commercial, residential, private entities. Now imagine the need to charge tens of millions of electric vehicles, the demands that puts on our current infrastructure, and the benefits of power on demand distributed across the grid. Now all of the parties involved have the ability to charge when power is cheapest and available, via the grid, solar, wind, etc. Can rapidly consume the power faster than those power sources can deliver to charge their electric vehicles. They can sell their excess power back to the grid when rates are high to create a revenue stream. And retain some capacity to meet their needs during an outage. And during a disaster could share that energy for those that need it

LTG on the connector, One manufacturer that I am not happy with is Tesla not having (VTL) Vehicle to Load, I am auctioning off my 2023 Ioniq 5 and I will miss that feature (we use our EV to camp and using Electrical camping equipment is much much better than Propane) on my new 2023 Tesla Model Y AWD long range that I have reserved!

[@UrCheckMate]

V2L is must

[@ShawnGBR]

Technology moves fast: Tesla brought out the V1 100kW just over a decade ago, and four years ago unveiled the V3 250kW. CCS has seen speeds increase from 50kW to 150kW to 350kW chargers. Who knows where we'll be a decade from now?!

[@samusaran7317]

They don't even have the adequate cooling to deal with sub 200 kw let alone 600kw

[@mark123655]

Its useful for a rarely used sitez where it can charge in the background. But no good on a busy hughway - you need grid connection for that. Also not sure about the lack of display - that seems to be required to get government funding in many markets.

[@BillB33525]

I wanted to see the Lucid take 350kW speed.

[@afr1952]

We all did. Quite a build up and then...Guess the charger didn't meet the challenge after all. Too many questions at this point to seriously consider investing.

The silence on the charging results tells you all you need to know. If it had been good they would be crowing about it. Perhaps Kyle was obligated in some way not to report poorer results than expected? Seems questionable at the least, shady at the worst.

[@robertdragoff6909]

So this is a giant battery to charge 20 cars. It’s plugged into the grid, and gets it’s juice from the grid and will sell back electricity as well as store it much like homes with solar panels do it….. Does it or will it have solar panels as a back up and to supplement the grid? Just wondering, if this charger is portable, where are the wheels? Interesting video.

[@paulf9585]

Enjoyed Victor's infectious energy for EV charging solutions - he is like an evangelist but for the car charging congregation. Two videos in a row where the Lucid $hit the bed - failing on the cannonball run and failing to do +300kW charging speeds on the Nxu charger. Factor this in with the "Signet Surge" video and it is apparent that the Lucid is the problem, not the chargers. My Taycan Cross Turismo 4s is 800v architecture and I did not see any power fluctuation on the Electrify America Signet chargers in question on a recent 2,000 mile road trip covering 4 states across the western US.

[@andrewhurstcars]

Neat, but charging at 198kw at 18% isn’t going to be winning any Cannonball.

[@73av8r5]

Didn’t recognize Kyle at first without a hoodie on….🤷🏻‍♂️

[@stanbradbury9449]

Yes, but how much? Will this cost $1/kWh?

[@glenngore6609]

As others have noted, this charging equipment is not intended to installation at charging stations across the country in mass quantities. Therefore, it is pretty much irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. I have seen lots of videos from Kyle and others showing many manufacturers in the US that are supposedly designing and building chargers, but when you go out in the field, all you see are the same old unreliable Signet and other units that do not work, only work for a week, or are otherwise disabled. You never see anything from these new manufacturers. So the CCS charging situation is still the same as it was a year ago, which is one or two working units at any location, and those will most often be crippled to 10% of their capacity. It’s just ridiculous
