At this minute, at the Westbound Charlton meal stop/fuel stop on the Mass Turnpike, there are 167 cars parked with people inside eating or going to the bathroom. There are ten fuel pumps and no lines.
Please analyze and describe recharging architecture that can service these 167 vehicles simultaneously in the time frame it takse to eat a Big Mac or have a Cinnabon and coffee.
Oh, by the way, it's 78 degrees in Charlton right now. Please provide a similar analysis for an average December day around Christmas travel season when the temperature is 19.
The whole thing is absurd.
“in the time frame it takes to eat a Big Mac or have a Cinnabon and coffee.”
Don’t expect a full charge in your time frame:
“Manufacturer-Built Ultra-Fast Charger
Electrify America (Volkswagen Group)
25 to 40 minute”
To add 50kwh to a car in half an hour at 240 volts is something like 400 amps per car. Obviously higher voltages to recharging complexes are needed.
The Charlton area apparently has a 345 kilovolt transmission line in that area somewhat parallel to the Pike between Springfield and Worcester:

Well Argued.
