1500 kilowatts (kW) = 1.5 Megawatts (MW) = 1,500,000 watts.
* Homes: A typical house uses about 1 to 2 kW of electricity on average. A 1500 kW output is enough to power 1,000 to 1,500 homes simultaneously.
* Appliances: A standard microwave or space heater uses about 1,000 watts (1 kW). This charger pushes the equivalent of running 1,500 microwaves at the exact same time.
* Horsepower: In mechanical terms, 1500 kW translates to roughly 2,011 horsepower. That is more powerful than a $3 million Bugatti hypercar and on par with a commercial freight locomotive.
This is cool and all, but I don’t want to be within 50m of something dishing out 1.5MW, particularly with a connector that gets cycled dozens of times a day.
I guess the better question is, what’s the average uptime on those chargers? Sure, 5 minute charge, but how long between cars? How much downtime late at night?
I’m still curious why swappable batteries is not a thing. I guess that’s because the battery is 80% value of the car, and it degrades overtime?
I think it only sounds so crazy to Americans because western manufacturers are still using 400 volt hardware, meanwhile China has been on 800 volt and higher for years. It’s like explaining how a matchstick works to a cave person who doesn’t understand why you don’t need to spend 30 minutes working at a fire pit with a bow drill.
I’m going to laugh so hard at all the red hats when China starts building the charging that the US refused to.Could have built profitable home grown infrastructure but no, we want more gas guzzling trucks.
