Geely announced 2.2MW charging last week, and it's already out in 5 cities. Meanwhile, EVgo's 750kW US chargers are delayed until next year.

    Faster charging means you don’t need as many stations for the same demand, so that’s great from an infrastructure standpoint.

      The bottleneck is usually the cars themselves, especially at higher power ratings… but yep, that’s also a good point.

      maybe but 80% of my charging is at home, 19% is destination charging; like plug in charger, go grocery shopping, come out, unplug and go and that’s on a 75kW charger. Maybe 1% or even less is used on road trip type charging.

      if i was doing long ass’ d road trips regularly i:d just get get a LR EV eg a used Polestar 2 LR or more likely query my life choices because i loathe driving.

        Because you can’t fill your gas vehicle at home.

            Yes. That’s why you don’t need as many chargers as you need gas stations.
