Comment Re:It's not about the forest, it's about the wood. (Score 1) 121

Just because Europe has fielded "some" 350kW chargers

It's not some. Ionity's whole network is 350 kW. Fastned is deploying 400 kW chargers. Shell is deploying 400 kW chargers. Repsol did 400 kW chargers four years ago.

Your failure to follow what I actually say is disappointing.

Dude, you're not able to keep up with your own position and you can't keep your story straight across a few comments. Your own sources that you cite contradict you. You are very plainly not across the state of EV charging. So don't worry about it.

150kW and 250kW might not be the fastest chargers out there

Not "might" not, they are not. Remember your claim is that "most chargers in Europe, other than Tesla superchargers, charge even slower", which is false. Tesla hasn't fielded chargers that match 350 kW chargers, nevermind 400 kW. And now that you realize you're wrong, you are desperate to integrate the new reality in a way that makes you feel better. Your excuses are boring.

That's a lot of words to say you were wrong. You don't need to put in all that effort to save face with me.

the difference in cost between an AC charger and a DC charger shouldn't be *that* huge — likely single-digit thousands of dollars per station

DC chargers are expensive because of the grid infrastructure they need. Battery integrated DC chargers are cheap from the infrastructure point of view because you can use existing grid connections without needing to upgrade it, but the units themselves are expensive because you're paying for the battery.

Submission + - Twitter has managed to break Twitter (independent.co.uk) 1

jimll writes: As Twitter users worldwide have experienced over the weekend and has been widely reported, including in the Independent newspaper in the UK, Elon's rate limiting and API changes have broken lots of bits of Twitter, ranging from app users being told they've seen too many tweets, to Tweetdeck power users having spinning wheels in Notifications, searches and other columns on their UI.

It remains to be seen if this has been done on purpose by Mr Musk to see how much pain users and advertisers will bear, or if the changes to APIs and hosting details have resulted in such a mess nobody left at Twitter knows how to fix it.

Also, most chargers in Europe, other than Tesla superchargers, charge even slower

No. Plenty of 350 kW chargers exist in Europe (e.g. Ionity) and charging networks are deploying 400 kW chargers.

Tesla's newer chargers achieve a maximum of 250 kW, but there are still many V2 Tesla chargers which are only 150 kW.
