Reply to comment by Surur in New Nio 500 kW ultra-fast Power Charger 3.0 can charge a car from 10-80% in only 12 minutes by Surur

500kw... Do you know how much electricity that is? Damn thing practically would need its own electrical substation. Imagine having to coordinate with grid operators just to charge ONE car at 500KW.

The mixer motors at my plant draw 2000+ amps at 480V277V x 3phases. They ramp up and down every few minutes, and we have 5 of them.

These things would probably be integrated into a smart grid. Definitely in places which are putting the appropriate priority in managing grids better. EV charging can be an excellent tool for grid stability if the charger is in close communication with the grid.

An example is the UK smart charge point regulations that requires all new EV chargers to be able to negotiate with the grid and defer charging and such.
