Crois tu que sa va etre toujours la norme dans 10-15 ans?
En 2 cas dans grand région de Montréal je vois seulement une de 11kw dans plugshare et c'est un dealer. Je ne vois pas le but d'investir dans des chargeurs level 2 plus haut que 7kw quand l'importance c'est les chargeurs level 3 soit accessible presque partout. Même Costco commence a mettre des chargeurs level 3 a 25kw dans ces stationnements quand on sait ça prend en moyenne 1 heure remplir et vider son panier Costco tu viens de gagner 175 km en charge.
Toyota saw people complained on the bad charg in cold weather, for the 2024 Bz4X model they added a new valve heater to heat faster the battery in cold weather and it seems more better and faster then the 2023 model... i saw someone in the fb group post the speed charge and its way better than the 2023 AWD model. The charge was done in -15°C ambient and a 100kw charger
Charger speed doesn’t matter it’s what the BMS is requesting. The “charger” is just a big stupid box. You can plug a bolt in a 180kw and it will only pull 50kw. That BXz4 never even went over 70kw according to that graph. You are still approaching 1hour for a 10-80% charge. If that battery was preconditioned that’s abysmal
V2 and V3 have a huge difference in charging as power isn’t split unless the site is really busy. Roll up to a V3 with a nice warm battery low SOc and you’ll pull 200-230kw almost immediately with a LR. SR LFP charging performance isn’t great in cold as preconditioning is run off the single motor vs both like on LR but will still get around the max 170kw
Lol @ last 15 seconds.
Circuit électrique, i haven't used them yet but saw new install in Valcartier when I was looking into a trip.
DC FC isn't always the answer. The setup costs are a lot higher, they don't always meet the needs of users (being parked somewhere for 3-4 hours but having to run out and move your car so you don't get charged idle fees isn't always ideal) and given majority of EV's can charge at 11kw limiting them to 6kw limits users. The overall costs to install a 48a charger aren't that much more than a 30a charger, but the benefits to customers are noticeable.
Majority of ev's can accept 11kw at the moment which is pretty decent even for large packs given you're likely to be parked overnight. The overall goal (for smart companies at least) is to increase efficiencies so they don't need to install massive packs in order to get decent range
I was just at the car show in Toronto and actually glad I got dragged out. Lots of EV stuff but industry reps from charging companies and OEMs. I learned a bunch of stuff and had some great convos.

But it doesn’t have the battery from a battleship and weighs semi decent. The EVscape needs a bit of a rethink in that area.
