Just HOW Do They Charge Formula E Cars?

[@chrisgrimes5045]

I love your team! You guys are the best and I really appreciate everything you do! I would most definitely miss you guys if you were not doing what you do!

[@judebrown4103]

Great report Kate and team, seemed like a rather glorious day too, hope it was as fab as it looked. Cheers all.👍😊

[@grantlouw3182]

Nice one, thanks for showing us a bit behind the scenes.

[@melissamybubbles6139]

Thank you for the tour.

[@mikeselectricstuff]

Well you did better than Kyle from Out of Spec who got thrown out of the pit lane...!

[@erikruggels9177]

And got actual info! Kinda wild he was chastising the generators… that ran on used cooking oil 😅

[@kevinlloyd1088]

He bought the wrong pass and needed to get back to Colorado for Pikes Peak in a rush. His Silverado videos were missing info too from Michigan. At least the ladies here took care of us with 2 better reviews.

[@ArtiePenguin1]

Yeah it seems Kyle Conner didn't do enough planning to get the proper media passes/clearances to be able to film in the pits. Looks like Transport Evolved got everything done the proper way.

[@Neojhun]

@@erikruggels9177 Not cooking oil. Aquafuel’s Glycerine a byproduct of biodiesel.

[@shanefiddle]

So coooooolllll! Thanks for the great coverage! I'm gonna have to go watch the race now, lol 😂... And Ian!

[@johntrotter8678]

Useful. Thanks.

[@jerrywatson1958]

Thank you for this! I love Formula E. Why doesn't Tesla have a set of cars in this race?

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Not necessary

[@jerrywatson1958]

@@rogerstarkey5390 Why?

[@stevewausa]

Very interesting that they are utilizing standard tech like CCS and not re-inventing the wheel here. Tech has come a long way very quickly!

[@transportevolved]

It's okay. We're sure they'll be using NACS in a few years ;) /sarcasm. * note, they won't because Formula E uses CCS Type 2 ;)

[@ChrisBigBad]

@@transportevolved So if you'll ever be able to make off with a F-E car in Europe, you'll be okay charging-wise ^^

[@sciencetestsubject]

​@@ChrisBigBadyou can even purchase home 15kw CCS2 DC chargers, so even useful as a daily driver.

[@esprit1st75]

Great video! Thank you! Very interesting!

[@EwanV]

There was a bit of contradiction between what the team said and what ABB said. The 80kW per cable stated by ABB seems a little low but the team states they charge twice as fast when charging one car. Does that mean 2 charging cables attached to one car (dual chargers?) or does the charger simple load balance and output 160kW through 1 cable if only one car is attached?

[@thetj8243]

I think the ABB person meant the same thing you could use the full 160 kW if only one plug is used and if both are used it's shared at a fixed 80/80

[@TheJAMF]

10:15 Wow, he is very Dutch!

[@sarran1955]

Hello Kate and the team, An interesting and a bit different... Is there a techy earring shortage?? Cordialement,

[@transportevolved]

No, I just had to get up super early and sprinting out of the house completely forgot both my necklace and earrings :(

porsche, always so professional

[@1grizzlyrizzo]

Yay for stats 🎉

[@danielmadar9938]

Thank you

[@benverdel3073]

En dat hoor je helemaaaal niet.

[@ericvet8b]

You think that the Porsche guy will know kW versus kWh

[@ArtiePenguin1]

It was probably just a small mistake since he might be used to doing all that technical work in a language other than English.

[@barryw9473]

What fuel powers the generators?

[@rogerstarkey5390]

I think it's hydrogen (oh dear)

[@barryw9473]

@@rogerstarkey5390 unlikely. Have you any proof or just a guess?

[@Neojhun]

Aquafuel’s Glycerine a byrproduct of biodiesel. The supply of this fuel is low capacity that is the main issue. But it works great for racing purposes.

[@Mireaze]

Porche is cool, but Maserati (prev Venturi) rocking the pride flag, and a subtle pride rainbow all year make them my favourite team!

[@transportevolved]

Sadly we didn’t get a chance but we wanted to - Nikki

[@voelkela]

Batteriy capacity (energy) is measured in "kilo Watt hours", damned!

[@ArtiePenguin1]

Yeah, it was probably just a small mistake as English was probably a second (or additional) language to that first presenter.

[@voelkela]

@@ArtiePenguin1 well, NOPE. Wrong answer! Units are quite the same in all languages, little dumb penguin.

[@davidmccarthy6061]

I wish we had this in Chicago instead of the totally stupid Nascar.

[@Charlie-UK]

Formula E, need to get their act together with allowing Media proper access to Racing teams & decent Technical information on Charging. And whats with Formula E banning Media from showing any actual racing ??. It all seems overly restrictive and pedantic. Hopefully this backward attitude changes in future...

[@transportevolved]

It's not Formula E banning media - it's the FIA, which has very VERY strict rights on global broadcast rights. Basically, we're going up against major media corps and their legal departments. It's the same for Formula One too - Nikki.

[@CaptainXJ]

I wanted to like Formula E so bad, but they have all that weird "fan boost" and junk. Just let them race normally.

[@ferkeap]

Fan boost isn't there anymore.

[@SirHackaL0t.]

‘Custom changes for Formula E’ Such as no need to try and use a payment car or RFID card. 😂

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Cruel... . . . But fair

[@Neojhun]

That's not custom, that's just an option when you own the charger. The same settings would be used for Company Fleet chargers.

[@sonytest5601]

Why he says that batteries capacity is measured in KW when it should be KW/h?

[@thejake8099]

Because that would be formal and everyone knows what he means.

[@sonytest5601]

@@thejake8099 Not true. When doing a technical presentation one should always use the correct measuring units, in my opinion. This is what I've been taught in school.

[@thejake8099]

​@@sonytest5601He wasn't giving a dissertation, this is an informal setting. Really..just move on. Unless you want to contact the man and ask him, formally.

[@sonytest5601]

@@thejake8099 The setting is irrelevant. As I said before, it is important to use the correct terms or at least try to do so. I don't want to argue about it with you. My first comment was more of a rhetorical question.
