Fast E.V. Charging.

400-450kW charging systems already exist and are being trialed in Germany and the US:

A motorway service area with 6 stations each side would require a dedicated 11 or 33kV supply. 800kW systems are being suggested for trucks but I am not aware of any viable systems. I previously posted this link about low emision comercial vehicles in Europe:

A key quote:

"ACEA estimates show there will need to be 20,000 DC 150-500kW charging points installed over the next six years in Europe.

Furthermore, it says there needs to be at least 6,000 high power 500kW+ chargers, 500 CH2 (compressed hydrogen) and LH2 (liquefied hydrogen) stations, 500 CNG (compressed natural gas) stations and at least 1,000 LNG (liquefied natural gas) stations."

That's several power stations worth of charging points.


Best regards
