Cheers BB still read the board daily and thanks to everyone who took time to post after the EV charger day
Southern, indeed it allows for charging during low rates.
Hi chippyjo. I also picked up that the battery unit can also be fed from the grid. So, there may be circumstances where a battery/grid system is required initially and then the FC component is added on as demand increases or subsides given the mobile nature of the combined systems. Total flexibility for customers!
chippyjo....anyone considering aTaycan certainly gets my thumbs up ....and im a petrol head ...
Plug in hybrids where really a way to make battery motoring acceptable to the public based on the lack of charge infrastructure. In reality they are a compromise carrying the weight of an engine when on battery and a battery when on engine use. The market is/will shift to all electric as consumers become more comfortable with range and charge options.
I'm looking at a Taycan and I'm a petrol head! Times and technology are just moving on.
Banaman... Plug-in Hybrids have a tiny battery capacity compared to full BEVs....the BMW I8 for example has a usable capacity of around 5kWh or a 20-25mile range on battery power alone...and a free 1hr top-up at a Supermarket would fully charge most hybrids...
Was gonna stay away for a few days but hey ho...
Bumble, there may also be an advantage to the separate box design that you can put the fuel cell and fuel away from the end users and just house the battery cubicle adjacent to the charge posts. That way the fuel is away from the customers and the high current cables between the battery and charge post are kept shorter. Also, there could be the option of stacking the units in some locations. leaving a smaller ground footprint.
Also good to keep those components separate if managed by different engineers - avoids one inadvertently damaging the other.
Ok, it just looks slightly untidy (going back to my conversation with Town Planner relative). Minor quibble. Good to hear from you comet-1.
BB is it that with the technology and advancement in batteries it becomes an interchangeable unit ?
Banaman, any thoughts on why the battery might be housed in a separate container from the fuel cell?
The point is that these chargers are not fast enough to recharge a plug in hybrid battery. The first supermarket that offers rapid charge may benefit more as you could shop and fully charge a plug in hybrid and possibly a full EV in the time it takes to shop. The supermarket could perhaps provide a more you spend the larger the discount on the cost per kw/h. AFC can provide rapid charge. Lots of new EVs grid connections could not.
I doubt many people will calculate the saving - it is free and that’s what counts! Every little helps as they say (wrong chain?).
Tesco chargers are 7kW units ....attached to a grid supply.
The same 7kW as you can charge at home ....Octopus energy charge 0.05p per kWh on their Octopus Go EV rate for overnight charging....this may vary slightly from region to region.
By using the Tesco charger for 1hr you are saving 0.35p.... worth a trip to Tesco ?.
*In come not Income.
Not fussy either way really as both have the same effect.
Sharesport. That's a great incentive to shop at the supermarket. To compete with that another big name will have to offer the same but rapid charge. I don't expect Tesco's will be offering that as it would, as has been discussed create to much requirement on the local distribution network. Income AFC. Maybe a supermarket will subsidise a rapid charge cost for their customers. At least then they would get a full charge each time they shop, incentivised by the food chain with a subsidy and the balance paid out for anything over the cost of a trickle charge.
A great incentive to buy an EV and shop at a particular store - I however will have to move to the chain who does the deal with AFC so Tesco’s have lost a customer there!
Found this on the mirror on line.
Electric car drivers can now charge their vehicles for free while doing their weekly shop at over 100 supermarkets across the UK.
Volkswagen has partnered with Tesco and Pod Point to provide shoppers with free charging points - with a further 2,000 units in the pipeline.
