    Building EV fast chargers can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and take months to complete. FreeWire Technologies provides clean, quiet mobile power and fast charging with a battery back up system that's easy to deploy, wherever and whenever you need it. Autoline’s west coast correspondent, Chase Drum, interviews Wade Higgins of FreeWire Technologies about what they’re doing to implement this new technology.

    DC Fast Charging Public Infrastructure is probably the biggest challenge to EV transition; There are massive amounts of drivers who will not have L2 charging capability. When there are as many DC Fast Chargers plugs as gas hoses then range will not be even though of.

    EV's are going to be very popular in fleet's. Not to mention the elimination of fuel cost but the maintenance costs is about 30-40% the cost of a typical gas-powered vehicle. When the Lightning becomes widely available it'll be a game-changer for fleet's.

    My question is why do we need a level 2 in a gas station?? Would it be to slow??

    • @homeworld1031tx

      They're saying that the charger itself only consumes level 2 power requirements, as its input is continuously charging an onboard battery. It can output at Level 3/dc fast charge levels when a car is plugged in and requesting power/service. Obvious downside here is that it will never be able to provide sustained, charge after charge power at level 3+. The guest said max draw per charger is 20kW (which is higher than level 2...), at an optimistic BEV consumption of 4 miles/kWh, that means each charger is capable of providing max 1920 miles per day of output (4x20x24 hrs).
      Have never heard of 'demand charges', that's definitely interesting. While I'm sure the technical utility billing term is demand charge, the guest should have re-termed it as a utility 'surge charges' as those words are more descriptive.

    I don't think he talked about how much time it takes to refill the demand charger. Perhaps you could give 3 cars in a row 50 KWh each, then it be a day before it would be used again? Maybe it would have a large green/red light on it to indicate if it's ready for use.

    • @NIAtoolkit

      He said about 10kW, so the 160kWh battery will take at least 16 hours to charge. It's probably good for 5 small cars a day.

      I emailed Electrify America about that gap, and they replied and said they're reconsidering I-20 between Birmingham and Dallas. So hopefully that gap will be covered soon. .... You should email EA too. They pay attention to these contacts, and build their charging infrastructure accordingly.

    I just did my 1st multi-state road trip in a newly acquired Bolt EV. Most of my Charges were at Electrify America. Almost every every EA stop had problems. Once I had to all support, once I tried 3 chargers before charging completed. I'm not on a coast, so charging here is not that easy. It does take some planning, and even with a fast charger the Bolt is still too slow. Not sure why GM is stuck at speeds that were normal 10 years ago. At minimum the Bolt should at least support 75kw. It starts slowing down just above 50%, so I found that 1 to 1.5 hours was needed to get to the next station.
    Outside of charging the Bolt is one of the worst cars I've ever tripped with. The seats are terrible as is the road noise. The screen is slow and there are odd things that happen regularly. I've seen the estimated range recalculate with significantly different numbers multiple times in just a short period on totally flat roads with no change in driving conditions. The app never matches the car on estimated range. It even showed 435 miles when I started the trip, while the car showed 295. The car quickly reduced, but in strange ways, but in the end it appeared that about 210 miles was a reasonable expected range, which is close to the EPA number. Not sure why the car/app can't figure that out. So far, not impressed with the car. I just hope it lasts till the B2B warranty expires, and maybe by then there will be better choices in my area.

      Do you know how much the batteries cost in an EV? It's one thing for an industry to evolve. It's another to cram something down our throats that can't even be supported financially by consumers or supported via the infrastructure.

      If you are trying to install a charging station the same as the gas pumps, you end up tearing up a LOT of the station to place the cables, insulation, upgrading power into the station an so on. The "Charge Boosters" try to cut most of that out. The guy pretty much explained it in the video.

    The “1 second” comment for demand charge is not true. Demand is calculated by the energy used in a set time period, usually 15 minutes. The time varies by utility, but never 1 second. No customer or PUC would accept such a short time to calculate demand.
