Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

HP is bonkers but don't miss out the charging power of a megawatt. ~~After~~ Are there such chargers out there? But if that works, it gets ICE like refueling speed.
We Tried BYD’s 5-Minute ‘Megawatt’ EV Charging In China — It’s Mind-Blowing
Premiere in Norway: ASKO logistics depot supports megawatt charging for trucks
That's awesome, already China has 500 of these. OTOH RIP infrastructure when a few of those cars start charging and you'd need a power plant or two nearby 😵💫 It'd be awesome if each charging station had huge batteries charged though renewables instead.
Hmm maybe something like this: Since most of this fast charging need will be on long trips we want these in highways not in cities where people will be doing more slow charging at home/destination or would be more willing to stop for a bit to eat/explore. So we find a big open area off the highway and install a solar/bess plant. The bess charges all day but doesn't connect to the grid (no interconnection requests yay!) it just charges it's local bess. The bess is then used to power the charging stations.
Yeah I think that could work. No interconnects, no transformers, cheap land. Seems like a no brainer.
You will want at least some grid connection. Otherwise, you can't sell your electricity when charging demand is low and can't buy electricity when demand is higher than local production.
Still, a reasonably sized battery and combination with local production will likely be a smart business strategy.
I agree you'd want it, but I'd argue there's a case to be made for skipping it. Go look up the current interconnection queues. You could save yourself a ton of headaches by just skipping that. Enough to account for the lack of sales you're describing? Maybe not. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Plus you'd open up all kinds of land procurement opportunities that would save you a crazy amount as well. Transmission infrastructure is expensive and painful these days. Transformer lead times are measured in years and prices are crazy. If you could skip all that and get the land cheap? Idk man I think it'd pencil
