Finally the paper I published with T. Bernauer on #Battery #ElectricVehicle #Charging is finally online! Check it out: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2023.103626

(1/3) 👀🚨⚠️❗
#ANDROID $users, do these before #charging in #public #ports :

1) #Disable #USB #debugging in #Developer #settings( it's off by #default, but if u have #enabled it previously, better turn it off)
Q: What if I already turned it on?
A: It's not much of a #problem if u didn't give 'Allow' #permission on asking for USB #debugging #permissions when u #connect to a #charging port(usually the permission won't #popup if it's just a charging port)

@TechConnectify Hey! Read this on #EV #Charging

https://heatmap.news/electric-vehicles/nema-14-50-mobile-charger-lucid-air

Plugable, one of the cable makers I like (they include durable labels so you know max power, data speed, USB-C vs Thunderbolt) has some new options. My fave: a 240W USB-C extension cord with built-in power gauge. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CD8X5235

Also a $20 very compact 30W USB-C charger: https://plugable.com/blogs/news/get-charged-up-with-plugable

And a $20 30W USB-C charger with pass-through power plug: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BK2W23ZP

It's all a matter of how "inconvenient" you view the need to recharge and how much of a EV fan person you are.

There is NO DOUBT that recharging an EV enroute over 150-200 miles is inconvenient as compared w/just puming gas back into your car -- given the difficulty of finding/planning for EV stops, the variation in recharge rates, one's level of EV range "tolerance" as compared with the easy availability of gas stations.

You sound like an EV fanboy to me but most people who could be an EV owner/lessee are NOT.

So, you are just speaking to the choir.

Most people are not willing to suffer any inconvenience in driving an EV and any worry about the inconveniences involved in driving an EV will negatively affect its adoption by most other drivers.

I'm an experienced EV driver and I won'tbe bothered to suffer the inconveniece of recharging enroute to anywhere. Just think what people w/no such experience think. They wouldn't put up with it.

LOL!! !🙄

We must rapidly expand our #infrastructure to meet the realities of 21st-century #modes of #transportation. This includes installations of #ebike #charging stations en masse and other resources to support this #workforce.

Second time charging my car at Ukita park in Tokyo, first time in the 50 kw spot. Also first time with the 1 hour free pass.

The #Solterra is an expensive car, and it feels weird to cheap out of ¥300 yen just to charge the battery 1/3 of the way, but it’s a kind of game by now.

宇喜田公園で車の充電2回目、50kw機器の1回目。1時間フリーパスも初めて。

スバル　#ソルテラ　は高めな車からバッテリーの3分の一を充電する為300円をあえてケチるのは少し変に感じるがもうゲームになってきた。

Important developments in public charging infrastructure in BC. Just got this email from BC Hydro:
"
Hi Chris,

Our proposed public EV charging rates will not be changing September 1 as a result of our application and our current charging rates will remain in place. This is following a decision today by the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) that the interim changes we applied for as part of our public EV charging rate application were not approved. Instead, the BCUC has initiated an expedited review process for our application.

Our public charging rate application is in response to previous decisions by the BCUC and incorporates feedback we've heard from our customers. It proposes:

Moving to energy-based rates and adding an extended stay fee
Expanding our network to over 3,000 charging units over 10 years
Increasing the power level of our stations over time
Introducing more level 2 charging

The BCUC is inviting public feedback on our application. Learn more about how to get involved [Link below]

Thanks,”

#Xiaomi13Ultra charges with up to 25W via #PowerDelivery. It's not perfect but solid. My #vivo only took up to 10W, so it's a noticeable upgrade! I also have the feeling that this way if charging is healthier than with the 90W charger... Let's see.

Does anyone know a good recent article about battery health / charging? 👀

The German government approved the allocation of €57 billion in investments to tackle climate change, as Berlin pursues the goal of reaching greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045.

The money will go into the Climate and Transformation Fund, which was originally created in 2010.

A large portion of the funding boost will go to the construction industry, to make new and old buildings greener.

I’ve taken quite a liking to this power strip that’s /also/ a 3C+1A port USB charging brick: https://uk.ugreen.com/collections/power-strip/products/60168. I /think/ it’s relatively unique.

But at 85GBP, it /just/ steps outside “meh, why not?” territory and into “that’s actual money I’d be spending…”.

Anyone seen something equivalent/similar-ish for less?
Or anything equally interesting in the #USB #charging space? #power #charger #USBC #usbpd

Thanks for the tip about PowerFlex.

Most of their sites are located on the Peninsula and South Bay. I'm in the East Bay and they aren't of much use to me but it's always good to know where the available charging sites are located. So, I created an account just in case I'm near a PowerFlex site when I need a charge.

I've now got charging accounts w/ElectrifyAmerica, ChargePoint, EvGo & PowerFlex. I also have a PlugShare account which I've only used to "find" charging sites.

Another website that you can use to locate charging sites is sponsored by the Dept of Energy which you can find here:

I had a 110V charger in the Bolt I leased between 2017-2020 & never used it. The 2023 ID4 Pro that I just leased didn't not include one, which didn't bother me.

If you really want/need a Level 1110V charger, you can buy one for $100-200, which is a lot less than the cost of a branded 110V charger at a dealer. VW wanted $350 for one of theirs. No thanks, LOL!

Does fast charging your phone battery shorten its life?

When the app (My Vauxhall) for your car (Mokka e) refuses to connect, one has to come up with a rough calculation...

( [kW until full] - ( [hours on charge so far] * [kWh charge rate] ) ) / [kWh charge rate]

( 25 - ( 4.5 * 3.1 ) ) / 3.1 = 3.5 hours left to fill the 50kW battery.

Fingers crossed it will reach 100% before we need to drive to Worcester for the weekend.
