> I don't think it's that big a deal. Nothing ever is when you just have to type about it. > 1MW (4x 250KW stalls) Flash charging is 1MW per stall. You can lower the speed but then you're not flash charging. The challenge isn't whether you can build a 1MW charger, BYD literally did it already [0] and is planning to build 4000 of them across China. The big deal is to do what OP proposed, to convert many small convenience store parking lots to flash charging type sites. The technology for a 1MW charger is there, scaling this to "many small parking lots" [1] is damn hard. It needs rebuilding the power grid for the increased capacity, and having enough local storage. Neither is cheap and fast to get. [0] https://www.byd.com/mea/news-list/byd-unveils-super-e-platfo... | ||
