Drive into the front of the stand, plug the charger cable in – and came away again in less time than it takes to smoke a cigarette down to the filter.
the Scenario is still only a dream, but it is perhaps not so far from becoming a reality, as it may seem.
At Porsche and BMW have certainly just unveiled a battery charger, which is able to give the electric car enough power to 100 kilometers in just three minutes. While 80 percent of battery capacity is reached in a quarter of an hour.
This writes Automotive News.
the Charger, which stands in the southern German Jettingen-Scheppach – a small town between BMW and Porsche headquarters, respectively, in Stuttgart and Munich – should be seen as a declaration of war to the competitor Tesla.
The american producer’s ‘Supercharger’-charging points will use twice as long time to let the latest Tesla models up to 80 percent battery capacity. Where the Tesla charger can let with 145 kW, the new charger send no less than 450 kW into the car battery.
In both cases, however, there is talk about more than electric cars can cope with at the present time. The latest Tesla models seems so ‘only’ with 120 kW, and the Audi will probably be the first manufacturer that sends a car on the street with a load capacity of 150 kW, when the SUV of the e-Tron begins to roll out to dealers next year.
in Order to develop and test the new and super-fast ladestander has the Porsche and the BMW, therefore, been forced to build special testbiler that can cope with the many kW. Both manufacturers are on the way with new electric cars, but none of them have as high a loading capacity.
It is not the first time, Porsche and BMW working together to develop charging points. The two automakers are also part of the joint venture of automakers, who are behind the rapid charger, the chain of Ionity.
Ionity-hurtigladerne, which has already begun to spread over Europe, will to begin with be able to deliver up to 150 kW, while in the long term, must be upgraded to 350 kW. In Denmark, the first station is already opened in the City, and six more are planned.
at the same time working Tesla on an upgrade of its ‘Supercharger’network. The upgrade, which is dubbed the ‘Supercharger V3’, has been postponed a few times, but now looks to be rolled out to the manufacturer about 11,000 charging points in the first part of 2019.
however, It is unclear how much more powerful the V3 chargers will be. Tesla chief Elon Musk has previously mentioned 350 kW, but according to the media Electrek is plans ago been choked.
The new 450 kW charger in Jettingen-Scheppach is opened to the public, so all elbilsejere in principle can use it as any other ladestander.
