As I understand it they had developed a product, found it didn't work on
enough of the stations tested that it would be frustrating and expensive
to sell and support. At the time. For the sample of stations available at
the time.
But I don't really know the whole story, that's just what I pieced together.
Yes, I know, not a conspiracy, but you know, you set it up with an East Coast
West Coast kind of comment.
Workaround to the 200v minimum would be, if you have a AC charger that
also works on DC, to run it through that.
In other words, tell the station that you require within the range they can do that
overlaps what the charger can handle, say, 240VDC and use that to run the charger
at a rate limited to what it can do and what your battery can handle.
For example, I'd expect that my diginow SCv2 9.9kw system would (if compatible
with DC, which I have yet to test), be able to take 240VDC to charge my battery at
1C, i.e. 9.9kw, up to 116.5VDC.
So if that's true, then the missing piece is the signalling to tell the station that a vehicle
is present, and that the vehicle is ready to charge at 240VDC.
And the inlet itself.
I Think that’s the way to go.
Then you have the option for both ccs and type 2 charging. But there isn’t any real benefit from the ccs charging, when the ac charging is just as fast.
If any body builds something, I would love to test it. We have our own 50kw ccs and chademo charger, and we can set it to go as low as 50vdc. And I have a zero, we can use for testing.
