The building I'm in has a 5000A, 600V supply and that's stepped down from 4160V. So higher voltage supply is not a problem.
The vast majority of EV owners will charge at home where they can charge at lower power over a longer time. |
Doesn't help the Porsche any, but Tesla just opened a 250kw charging station in LV.

A big ongoing cost of these types of things is the temporary big draw periods, moderating that with batteries to provide the grid a more constant load saves a lot of $. |

That is, AC systems use a lot of power to bring a heat-soaked car interiors down from 150F or more. Oh, and on almost powering one stall; I expect that is at peak conditions (high noon on a cool day) |

Yeah, I do think the shady spot is probably a power savings too, especially in Vegas, there is a similar installation in California. The ones I've hit in WA/OR are all just uncovered parking lots so far.

Well sure, we have grey cover. What, 57F right now... gray.. the rest of the country is frying.
The best thing about those sunny State solar panel parking lots is the shade (IMO) :) |
