Interesting. One minute charge is a bit scary. Take a 35kWh battery and charge to say 80% in one minute. 35 * 0.8 * 60 = 1680kW. Assume you are using a 220V...
I think that in the write up, they specify a 3 phase charging power supply. They did not specify voltage or amperes. Esko ... From: Leslie Newell To:...
At over 1.6 megawatts even a 3 phase supply is going to have to be pretty beefy. The current at the battery is also terrifying. Say each battery is 100AH. To...
I did some experiments with solar cells a while back and the output is pitiful unless you have very strong direct sunlight. They also have a limited life span,...

LOL. It does not take much current to hurt. Much above 30ma directly across your body can kill you. It is also surprising how low a voltage can hurt as well....
BP Solar's web site has some examples of commercial installations - don't know whether they've been independently verified or what the longevity will be. A lot...
