Kyle asked me to take a peak at this and add any additional info worth noting: - Up to 7 V3 Supercharger cabinets can be linked in a radial configuration with one main cabinet serving as Star Center (controller for the bus) - Pro tip for counting V3 stalls - just count the cabinets and multiply by 4 😉 (occasionally Tesla will do less than 4 posts per cabinet - 3 is typical in Europe - but it will get you close enough) - Notice that the accessible stall has the ADA symbol but none of the text that makes it enforceable as an ADA placard-only stall - Additional cabinets to the same amount of stalls would be a great way for Tesla to add conversion capacity - I share your concern about non-Tesla EVs and their more aggressive charge curves compared to Teslas - I agree with your assumption that V3 cabinets / posts can be retrofitted / upgraded to support 1000V output Semi Charger: - 800A AC input cabinet indicates a max connection of 664kW, but per NEC 625.42, can only operate at 640A or approximately 531kW (not factoring for power factor, voltage sag, etc) HOWEVER, the label on the cam lock connection box indicates 400A is available for the connection - 800A would require a second set of cam locks - Tesla is using an isolation transformer to step the 480/277V delta 3P grid connection down to 360Y208V 3P likely due to the lack of grounding for the portable setup - 360V is not a common AC voltage range, so this is fairly odd (I'm not an expert on industrial applications so someone please correct me if this is wrong) - This cabinet is either heavily modified or entirely unique from typical V3 cabinets with a different input voltage range, output rating and power conversion capability - There is no DC bus capability on this cabinet - Typical V3 cabinets are 360-528V input intended to be used on 380/400/415/440/480V grid connection with either 430A (350kVA version) or 465A (387kVA version) max continuous current typically on a 600A circuit - the output is less when operating at below 480V input (typical in Europe / ROW) which is why they are typically 3 posts per cabinet vs NA typical of 4 - I do not think this Semi cabinet is indicative of V4 cabinets but may have some shared elements -V4 post makes Kyle look short and you know it's hot when Kyle isn't wearing a hoodie 😅 I have a deep dive of Tesla's V3 Supercharger architecture here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4qtnICoq5uiZtE

My primary stopping location when going to Vegas. The original EA 350kw chargers at that location are the ones that fried my Rivian. But, they've since been replaced with the new versions and no problems since. Kettleman City, was just at a couple of weeks ago. They have two separate locations on each side of the street. Didn't count the chargers, but both are huge locations, so probably close to 100 between the two locations almost directly across the street from each other.

Solar works well with the battery. Of course they can feed it back to the grid and just compensate utility power bill, but they can charge the batteries when sun is shining and then discharge when it is not. I think this is what you have heard - inverter was busy charging the battery. And since in summer you have at least 12 hours of insolation, even 60kW of panels gives you 720kWh, and they have many such canopies, this gives us few megawatt*hour per day. Solar modules are cheap BTW, battery and inverter capable of working with the battery are expensive. They could have installed on-grid inverter and send excess energy to the grid and be done, but then grid had to deal with it (which is probably not a big deal as demand for a/c must be high during hot period), and they went way farther and invested into battery which can store excess energy.

Bathrooms are much cleaner and they're doing an expansion to the v3 superchargers there as well.

I have very similar impressions on how the V3 hardware works. On the 880-1000V interconnect, I think the voltage is dependent on the input voltage of the 3-phase. The input can be 380/300/415/440/480V 3-phase. In the US, we have 480V 3-phase. In mainland Europe it is 380V and 415V. At 380V that gives only 283KW. At 415V that gives only 309KW. A lot less then the 357KW in the US for 480V. Sharing only 283KW between 4 chargers would be pretty slow. To compensate for the lower voltage, Tesla installs 3 output V3 superchargers in Europe.
@geirmyrvagnes8718
@geirmyrvagnes8718 Жыл бұрын
Since we are nerding: New V3 stations in Norway usually get a separate 480 V supply. They are such a big consumer that they warrant their own transformer station taking the power from much higher voltage transmission lines anyway. So it is a non-standard 480 V 50 Hz. I don't know how often they do that in the rest of Europe.
@MichaelEricMenk
@MichaelEricMenk Жыл бұрын
​@@geirmyrvagnes8718The voltage in Norway for industrial sites and new residential area is 400V three phase TN. Not 480V. A 480V has 277V between a phase and neutral, while 400V has 230V. It is also possible for an industrial consumer to connect to the 22kV local distribution net, owning their own transformers...
@whattheschmidt
@whattheschmidt Жыл бұрын
Tesla must still be upping the DC voltage with other equipment. If you simply put the 480V 3 phase AC power and converted to DC you would be at about 340V. It does make sense that the one cabinet for 3 stalls in Europe is what they use since the incoming AC power is lower though. There's still more going on and this is likely to just share the equipment easily and not have completely different parts.
@geirmyrvagnes8718
@geirmyrvagnes8718 Жыл бұрын
@whattheschmidt As your napkin math shows, the power electronics in the superchargers is a bit more clever than that. But as I understand it, the modules are made for 480 V, so if they absolutely must power them with a lower voltage, a solution is actually to start by stepping the voltage up again. It is more efficient to go directly from, say, 22 kV.

When I was towing a U-Haul 6x12 foot trailer with my Tesla Model X I came away with some needed improvements. 1. More sites need to include a space for EV's with trailers. So far I know of two SuperCharging locations; Morongo Trail in Cabazon, CA with 3 pull through slots and Indio, CA with one. The Baker SuperCharger doesn't really count as the chargers are 2 deep, where a car may be in front. Also the turn to get into the charger is tight. I did change at the Foothill Pasadena, CA SuperCharger but I took up three slots. One can change at the Disabled parking slots but others non-disabled people were using them. 2. The route planners should say if there are available slots for trailers. 3. Trailer rental companies like U-Haul need to make their equipment easy to disconnect. For example include a trailer jack. I would like to see you include this info in your reviews of new changing locations. With the new trucks coming this info is really needed.

The 40 stalls Tesla 150 kW supercharger at this location often got throttled down to only 72 kW when they're busy. 72 kW takes a long time, so I just have to charge enough to get to the next station. It happened to me twice, so I will not be stopping here again until the V3 opens up.

Yes, Busy V2 is like that. 150 kW split between two cars. It is really awkward coming in to a V2 station where every second dispenser has a car at it. Who will I choose to annoy by parking next to? Some stations even have the pairs of chargers distributed seemingly at random, so watch the dispenser numbers. V3 also gets throttled, but as shown in the video, the sharing is much wider, so you can't easily point at the one that is slowing you down.
@andynugen510
@andynugen510 Жыл бұрын
@geirmyrvagnes8718 I'm aware of the split at the V2 stations. Both times, I tried to unplug n moved to a different stall without another car next to me, but I still only get 72 kW, so you're right about the pairing probably being distributed at random. I even walked around asking other drivers that didn't have a car next to them or in front of them, which they confirmed they only get 72 kW. Watching this video certainly educate me on the fact that V3 does throttle as well, but it's still much faster even when all the stalls are full in my experience. That's probably bc each car takes in the juice at different charge rates as it gradually slows down.

Utah transit authority (UTA) has a new maintenance facility in salt lake with new BEB charging stations, this would be a cool EV video to go over ABB's chargers they have their, or the pantographs UTA has installed around Utah.

I make a lot of road trips from CA to UT and prefer using the chargers at Primm, there are much more amenities and is about 1/2 the cost.

That's funny. I should have submitted a bad rate my charge for Baker EA charger. It wouldn't activate on one of the chargers and had to move to another station with our Mach E. Same time frame as when you were there -2 weeks ago in mid-July 2023.

Been there, charged there many-a-time. The last time I saw a Kia EV6, a Rivian R1T, and a Mustang Mach-E GT charging from the EA units. If Tesla continues to install these Megachargers, then Hyundai should be able to transition to NACS and use them. My one complaint about the Baker site? That they charge 3 times the usual price for a small ice-cream cone. Tsk. Now… visit the new Barstow Supercharger. Immense!

This blows my Australian mind. Our biggest supercharger site here has 12 stalls. Many only have 3. The biggest in the works (pending permits) will be 20. Outside of the supercharger network, I don't think I've seen more than 4 stalls at a DC charging site. EV sales have begun to spike up here in the last 12 months, so we are in for a world of pain until we see some sites with a decent number of stalls. Queueing is a problem almost always.
