EV Charging, how fast can you get?

Foffer over 6 years ago

I have just seen this article about a 1.2MW EV charging point:

https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1123418/electric-car-charging-300-miles-range-15-minutes

How do you get this sort of power down a cable that you could easily pick up and plug in? Where does the power come from? What would this sort of charging rate do to the battery? I hope all this stuff is properly shielded or I could see a few watches and phones suffering, bearing in mind that these items could easily be touching the cable.

Now if only we could get the batteries to last longer and hold a bigger charge...

Well - with my car, I have a storage system that allows me to travel a fairly long way before it needs recharging - most people call it the fuel tank - I put diesel in mine. I like to think of it as a readily transportable, high energy density, battery !!
