First Tesla Megachargers for the Semi are looking ready for some real-world use





But while Megachargers in the Giga Nevada complex are interesting in their own right, Tesla also made it a point to install some of the all-electric Class 8 truck’s Megacharger stalls at PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay Modesto, CA facility. Images of the charging stalls were shared by members of the Tesla community about two weeks ago. The charging units attracted a lot of attention then since it became evident that the Megachargers were actually very large, possibly about 7 feet tall as per estimates of EV group The Kilowatts.

These Megachargers at the Modesto site appear to have been installed as of the end of January, based on images taken this past weekend. Needless to say, it would be pretty interesting — but perhaps not that surprising — if sightings of some Tesla Semi prototypes start getting reported around the Frito-Lay Modesto facility in the near future.

Chargepoint presenteert 2 MW laadconnector (concept):

ChargePoint unveiled its High-Powered Connector Concept for electric aircraft and semi-trucks, with capability of delivering up to 2 MW of power.

It's designed for EVs that use loads of power and are equipped with big battery packs. ChargePoint believes that the two applications could share a single connector design.

The reason behind the design of such a connector is the need for a solution for future electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that Uber intends to introduce in a few years. ChargePoint is Uber's charging partner.





The proposed connector can handle 2 MW of power and if needed, the power can be sent through four independently circuits with four BMS interfaces (in case the battery packs are divided into two, three or four parts).

- up to 2 MW of power
- up to four BMS interfaces
- up to four 500-amp delivery circuits (200-1000 V), up to 500 kW each
- to facilitate autonomous data and vehicle performance payload offload, a provision for high speed data transfer was also included
- Designed to be used in heavy vehicle applications, the connector must be rugged and able to withstand the rigors of frequent use, while also being easy to insert and remove.
- A motorized system aids in the insertion process, while rugged construction protects against drops and rough maneuvers common in heavy-duty fueling.
- The connector also supports optional auxiliary liquid cooling to the aircraft or semi-truck while it’s being charged and is designed to be operated either manually or robotically.

According to the press release, Uber will demonstrate electric VTOL in 2020, and start commercial operation in the first cities (Dallas-Fort Worth/Frisco Texas and L.A. were proposed) by 2023. Already, several manufacturers were engaged in development of the VLOTs - Aurora Flight Sciences, Pipistrel Aircraft, *Embraer and Bell Helicopter.

Men ziet dat de luchtvaart ook meedoet.

*Embraer is bezig met reeks van alternatieve hybride-fuel of fuelcell-vliegtuigen waaronder ook een puur electrische op batterijen, de E9-FE (tot 370 km), maar ze plakken er pas 2035 op.

The E9-FE will also feature nine seats and is the first all-electric aircraft in the Energia family, with a planned range of 200 nm. Powered by batteries that are located in the nose of the aircraft and a single rear-mounted electric motor, the E9-FE will have zero carbon emissions, according to Affonso. Technical readiness for the E9-FE is expected to be ready for entry into service by 2035.

Tesla heeft zijn website van de Semi met nieuwe fotos en filmpjes aangepast, de leveringen kunnen nu niet meer lang uitblijven meent de EV-media.

De long range of tot 805 km zou dit jaar uitgeleverd worden, werd al eerder bevestigd.

Op de fotos zijn nu meer en nieuwe details te herkennen, zeker het interieur.
Dat is dus geen voorserievrachtwagen meer.

Tesla shares new photos of the Tesla Semi. Delivery soon?

August 28, 2022

Tesla shared some new photos of the Tesla Semi on its website recently. Deliveries of Tesla’s all-electric Class 8 truck are expected to start sometime this year. It is also expected to be made with Tesla’s 4680 cells. Earlier this month, Elon Musk said that Tesla’s 500-mile range Semi Truck will start shipping this year. He added that the Cybertruck would start shipping next year.

Today on Twitter, members of the Tesla community found new photos of the Semi that Tesla quietly uploaded to its website. @Tesla_Adri pointed out that Tesla added some new Tesla Semi press photos and that almost every image is new.

The new high-resolution photos show a lot more detail than the previous photos did. As Sawyer Merrit pointed out, you can see the buttons for the deck lights, and the trailer air supply with the primary and secondary PSI which refers to pounds per square inch, a measurement of pressure used to measure the pressure of gasses or liquids.

@MikeOPSEC pointed out that we can see just how well the rear-facing cameras perform. From the photo, you can clearly see that the cameras help with blind spots. He was also curious to know if one could tap on the screen to release the parking and trailer brakes instead of having to push or pull them manually. He said that Tesla would need to add a feature to not be able to press those buttons while driving. To do so would be a deadly mistake.

The gallery below shows all of the new photos of the Tesla Semi that Tesla added to its website.

Ook filmpjes waar de Semi aan de plaatselijke megacharger bijlaadt.
Volgens de info tot 70% van het rijbereik laden in 30 minuten. Dat is tot 560 km erbij tijdens de verplichte rustpauze.

Dat is dus met zeer veel marge, zelfs aan 80 kmu gemiddelde is dat 7 uur continu rijden, wat in Europa sowieso nooit mag en men moet rusten na 4,5 uur, dat is aan 80 kmu nog altijd 360 km.

We gaan dit jaar nog alles weten denk ik, wel enkel leveringen voor de US-markt.

Megawatt Charging Systeem is nu gestandariseerd.

Megawatt Charging System MCS Launch at EVS35
23.06.2022

CharIN e. V. officially launches the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) at EVS35 in Oslo, Norway

Four years after kicking off the Task Force for Heavy Duty Charging for Commercial Vehicles at the 1st CharIN North America Conference, the Megawatt Charging System was inaugurated with a colorful demonstration on an Alpitronic charger and a Scania 100% Electric truck. More than 300 interested visitors attended the unveiling at the CharIN booth at EVS35 in Oslo on the first official day of the show.

Op het display kon men 1,2 MW aflezen en ook 804 V * 1492 A: https://youtu.be/NlHuok6h50E?t=37

De MCS standaard hardware (dus materiaal en koeling) kan tot 3,75 MW aan.
(Max 1250V 3000A)

Natuurlijk gaat het voer/vaar/vlieg/-tuig de uiteindelijke laadsnelheid bepalen.

Of ook niet anders zoals bij electrische auto's of andere apparatuur. Ggl is uw vriend, bvb:

The 3.75MW MCS standard for charging heavy-duty electric vehicles is official and first 1MW stations will have Tesla compatibility

CharIN's new Megawatt Charging System for heavier electric vehicles like long-haul trucks, buses, planes, or ferries, that has been years in the making, is now standardized. The Tesla Semi might be taking advantage of the new MCS standard, while Teslas and other electric cars will be able to charge at the initial 1MW stations, too.
