That’s been suggested, the problem is that that requires additional infrastructure, either digging a pit for the battery to be lowered into via elevator, or raising the car in such a way they still have access to the pack.
Former is more likely but digging pits like at oil changes is not cheap either.
Mostly it’s a chicken-egg scenario: nobody will make the facilities until there are cars to use it… And the other way.
If there’s literally one place in America we need to throw money at, it’s the electrical grid.
We have a decades out of date power infrastructure, Europe especially has us beat.
Just like electrification originally, and later the internet, increasing power delivery will have benefits for everyone that pay off for centuries .
Mostly we need to make the grid far smarter.
Evs should be allowed to load coordinate with the grid, so they switch on at the optimum times for grid stability in exchange for major discounts on power.
A superload like this one should have to request clearance, then the grid compensates by reducing ‘cheap ev power’ in the area, while also requesting evs configured for v2g to be ready to possibly supply.
The supercharger has a slightly higher cost per kwh to make up for this, but that is the cost of convenience.
Fairly unlikely, we engineer things to fail safe.
Even if so we have ways to calculate the power going in and coming out, and if there’s an imbalance kill everything, that’s how gfci and arc fault breakers work.
P=i x v
But also
P=i^2 x r
Power goes up with linearly with voltage but to thw square or I.
It’s spreading around Scandinavia like wildfire, no idea why, but lot of people are scared of this happening.
Work on this stuff:
Thermal reasons, having enough pins and routabke pads on the board so you can land them from the package, mechanical properties (strong enough not to get squished).
We do what we do because it’s the cheapest way that covers the requirements and is still easy to assemble.
We slowly move to smaller pitches, but they’re more expensive to deal with, you need more accuracy on your pick and place and the tolerances on your pads and soldermask are smaller.
The point was that increasing voltage allows more carrying capacity with a square root of the increase in dissipation as increasing current directly.
