Level 1 na Level 2 ev saja

Level 1 na Level 2 EV Saja: Wanem Em, Ol Difrens, Kost, na Wanem Wanpela Yu Tru Tru Nidim

Ev i sasiminfrastraksa i wok long ol narapela narapela pawa diliveri lain, wantaim Level 1 na Level 2 i makim tupela namba wan residensiel na komesel AC sasing kategori. Level 1 i yusim ol standet 120-volt haus seket we i save givim 1-2.4 kW, na Level 2 i nidim 240-volt dediket seket we inap long givim 3.9-19.2 kW autput. Ol samting we dispela 'voltage differential' i ken mekim i go moa long 'charging velocity' we i save mekim wok bilong en i go antap, ol kos bilong wok longpela taim, 'battery thermal management', na ol 'daily usability patterns' we planti baia i no save tingim gut inap long taim ol i kisim EV inap long tripela mun.

Tasol hia em i kamap intresting. Dispela 'charger' we i kam insait long 'trunk' bilong yu? Em i Level 1. Na long samting olsem 40% bilong ol EV ona, em i wok long bungim das insait long 6-pela mun.

Wanem samting tru em i wanpela Level 1 Saja?

Olgeta lektrik kar we ol i salim long Not Amerika i save salim wantaim wanpela. Em i rop wantaim wanpela standet tripela-prong plag long wanpela arere na wanpela J1772 konekta long narapela arere. Putim i go insait long wanpela autlet-wankain olsem yu save yusim long sasim lam o fon-na yu "sasim."

Long sait bilong teknikel.

Tru tru em olsem: Level 1 sasing i save putim samting olsem 3-5 mail bilong ron long wanpela aua. Mekim matematiks long wanpela 300-mail bateri pek na yu lukluk long 50+ aua stat long emti i go long pulap. Dipatmen bilong Trenspot bilong Amerika tu i luksave olsem Level 1 i ken kisim 40-50 aua long bringim wanpela bateri EV i go long 80 pesen kapasiti.

Em i no wiken. Em i olsem wanpela wok wik.

Taim Level 1 i gat as bilong en:

Noken rausim olgeta. Ol papa bilong ol 'plug-in 'hybrid' we i gat 20-40 mail lektrik ron inap tru long kisim Level 1. Wanpela Prius Prime o RAV4 Prime papa husat i save draiv 25 mail long olgeta de na putim kar long wanpela garas long nait? Level 1 i save mekim dispela wok na i no hatwok tumas. Ol 5-6 aua we yu nidim long pulimapim gen bateri bilong PHEV i stret long taim bilong slip.

Em i wankain long tupela marit husat i ritaia wantaim namba tu EV we i save sindaun long rot bilong ka bilong baim ol samting. O man i stap long flet husat i ken haitim wanpela ekstensen rop i go long wanpela ples bilong putim kar na i no tingting long 'slow-drip charge. Ol dispela 'edge cases' i stap. Ol i olsem... ol 'edge case' tasol.

Bikpela hevi em i no samting yu laikim-em i samting bilong fisiks. Wanpela 120-volt, 12-amp seket inap long pusim samting olsem 1.4 kW tasol i go insait long wanpela bateri. I no gat wanpela sofwet apdet o premium kebol we i senisim dispela. Autlet long wol bilong garas bilong yu i gat wankain pawa olsem autlet long wanpela haus bilong ol animal long 1970s.

Level 2: Wanpela we planti manmeri i laikim tru

Level 2 sasim i save wok long 240-volt seket-wankain volteji we i save givim pawa long lektrik draia o aven bilong yu. Dispela em i no wanpela eksotik lektrikel infrastraksa. Em i bin stap olsem standet long ol haus bilong Amerika inap planti yia. Difrens em autput: we Level 1 i save givim 'trickle charging', Level 2 inap long pusim 7.2 kW long 30-amp seket, o inap long 19.2 kW long ol komesal-greid 80-amp instolesen.

Translesen: 25-40 mail bilong ron long wanpela aua long planti haus. Sapos yu baim long nait-olsem, 10 klok apinun i go inap 6 klok moningtaim-i isi long inapim bek 200+ mail. Dispela i karamapim ol nid bilong draivim ka long olgeta de bilong samting olsem 95% bilong ol manmeri bilong Amerika we i gat rum i stap.

Nogat wanpela man i tokim yu long spit bilong bruk

Dispela em samting we ol maketing materiel i no tingim: 'onboard charger' bilong kar bilong yu i save pasim Level 2 spit, i no long wol yunit tasol. Wanpela 'base-model EV wantaim 7.2 kW onboard charger bai no inap sasim hariap maski yu putim wanpela 48-amp, 11.5 kW wall unit. Yu bin baim wanpela paia hos bilong pulapim wanpela baket we i gat liklik hul long en.

Planti EV i save kam wantaim 7.2-11 kW 'onboard charger'. Ol Tesla i save yusim 11.5 kW long Model 3/Y na olpela Model S/X. Sampela pefomens trim o opsenel paket i save apim dispela i go long 19.2 kW. Sekim ol spesifikesen bilong kar bilong yu pastaim long yu tromoi bikpela mani long wanpela 'charging station' we i winim intake kapasiti bilong kar bilong yu.

Tasol, i gat as long baim moa 'charger' winim wanem yu nidim nau. Neks EV bilong yu i ken gat wanpela 'onboard charger' we i spit moa. Value bilong salim gen em i bikpela samting. Na pe bilong 32-amp na 48-amp yunit em planti taim $50-100 tasol.

Instolesen: Ples we trupela mani i go long en

Level 1 kos bilong putim: zero. Yu putim i go insait. Pinis.

Level 2 em i we ol samting i save kamap hat. Dispela 'charging unit' em yet i save kostim $300-700 long ol gutpela 'brand'. Instolesen? Dispela em i samting we inap senis hariap tru long $250 i go long $2,500+ bihainim pawa bilong haus bilong yu.

Gutpela Kes Senario

Elektrikel panel bilong yu i stap long garas. Em i gat spesel kapasiti. Wanpela 240-volt autlet i stap pinis klostu (long wanpela draia o welda bipo). Wanpela elektrisen i save lusim 2-3 aua long ranim wanpela sotpela paip, putim wanpela NEMA 14-50 autlet, na yu pinis. Total instolesen: $300-500.

Nogut tru

Panel bilong yu i stap long narapela sait bilong haus. Em i wanpela 100-amp panel bilong 1985 we i gat kapasiti pinis. Garaj i stap wanpis. Nau yu lukluk long: 'panel upgrade' ($1,500-3,000), wokim baret long banis bilong wokim ol 'bured conduit' ($500-1,500), 'extended wire runs' ($10-20 long wan wan fut), ol 'pemit' ($100-300), na sampela de bilong wok bilong ol lektriken.

Mi bin lukim ol kwot i go antap long $6,000 long ol 'nightmare' senario. Averes i stap klostu long $1,200-1,800 olgeta-in bilong wanpela haus we i stap klostu long taun we i gat wanpela garas i stap klostu long en na i gat inap panel. Kisim tripela kwot. Yu mas strong long ol 'itemized breakdowns'. Na sekim yutiliti kampani bilong yu long ol ribet pastaim long yu sainim wanpela samting-planti i save givim $200-500 long Level 2 instolesen.

Hardwired vs Plug-In: Wanpela disisen we i bikpela samting

Ol 'hardwired units' i save konektim oltaim long pawa sistem bilong yu. Ol 'plug-in yunit i yusim wanpela NEMA 14-50 autlet (olsem wanpela RV plug). Difrens bilong wok? Ol 'plug-charger i ken kam wantaim yu taim yu muv. Em i isi long senisim sapos yunit i bagarap. Ol 'hardwired' instolesen i luk klin na i rausim ol hevi we i kamap long ol 'outlet', tasol yu gat strongpela tingting.

Long ol lain husat i save rentim haus o ol lain husat i save muv planti taim: plug-in. Long ol papa bilong haus oltaim husat i laikim klinpela instolesen: 'hardwired'. Tupela disisen i no rong.

Ol samting we i no wankain long wok gut we yu baim (maski yu save o nogat)

Dispela i mekim mi kirap nogut taim mi painimaut ol data pastaim. Level 1 sasim i wok long 80% gutpela wok. Level 2 i kamap long 90%. Dispela 10-pesen-poin spes i min olsem yu baim pawa we i no save kamap long bateri bilong yu.

As bilong dispela em ol lus bilong konvesen long 'onboard charger' bilong kar na ol longpela taim bilong sasim we i mekim ol 'accessory system' i wok gut. Ol taim bilong Level 1 long sasim i go longpela taim i min olsem bateri menesmen sistem bilong kar, ol fan bilong mekim kol, na ol samting bilong bosim kar i ron inap 40+ aua na i no 8-pela aua. Ol dispela 'parasitic draws' i save go antap long planti mun na yia.

Long wanpela praktikel level: sapos yu baim 12 sen long wan wan kWh, Level 1 i kostim yu samting olsem 15% moa long wan wan mail winim Level 2 long taim. Em i no bikpela bagarap, tasol em i no samting nating tu. Bikpela wok bilong mekim wok gut em long sasim long taim bilong 'off-peak aua (planti taim 9pm-6am) we planti yutiliti i save daunim pe bilong 30-50%. Spit bilong Level 2 i mekim isi long putim ful 'charge' i go insait long ol dispela windo.

Olsem wanem long helt bilong bateri?

Yu bai painim ol bikpela toktok long forum long sapos Level 1 o Level 2 em i "gutpela" long laip bilong bateri. Mi bin lusim planti aua long ritim ol stadi long bagarap bilong ol bateri, na dispela em i stretpela bekim: em i no bikpela samting.

Level 1 na Level 2 tupela i tok olsem "slo sasing" long sait bilong hevi bilong bateri. Ol samting we i save kilim laip longpela taim em DC hariap sasing (Level 3) we ol i save yusim planti taim, bikpela hat tru, na sasim i go inap 100% o drain i go klostu long -zero. Wanpela stadi we i skelim 12,500 Tesla kar i no painim wanpela bikpela senis long bagarap bilong bateri namel long ol papagraun husat i yusim Level 1 na Level 2 long haus.

Toktok bilong 'thermal' we sampela taim i save kamap- olsem Level 1 i no save kamapim planti hat-em i tru tasol em i no gat as bilong en. Ol moden EV bateri menesmen sistem i save lukautim Level 2 sasim na i no gat hevi bilong hat. Yu mas sasim long 120 digri F ambient tempereja bilong kamapim hat long kamap wanpela gutpela samting.

Wanem samting tru i helpim bateri long stap longpela taim: holim 'state of charge' namel long 20-80% taim yu draivim ka long olgeta de, noken lusim bateri we i pulap pinis i stap inap planti de, na yusim Level 3 'fast charging' liklik tasol na i no olsem wanpela samting yu save mekim long olgeta de. Level bilong sasim yu long haus em i stap daunbilo tru long lista bilong ol samting.

Ol 'Smart Chargers': Em i gutpela o 'Maketing Fluff'?

Planti Level 2 yunit nau i gat Wi-Fi konektiviti na ol smatfon ap. Ol dispela samting i gutpela tru? Planti taim yes, wantaim ol tok lukaut.

Gutpela samting em i 'scheduled chargement'. Yu ken setim 'charger' long kisim pawa tasol long taim bilong 'off-peak hours otomatik, maski yu putim i go insait stret bihain long wok. Sampela yutiliti i nidim ol smat saja long ol EV reit plen o ol diman rispons program bilong ol. Pasin bilong bihainim yusim bilong pawa i helpim yu long kliagut long pe bilong pawa. Na 'remote start/stop' inap long helpim yu sapos yu lusim tingting long 'plug in' na yu laik kirapim 'charging' long opis bilong yu.

Tok lukaut: planti EV nau i gat ol dispela 'scheduling features' insait long kar yet. Sapos kar bilong yu i save mekim wok long taim bilong lusim kar na taim bilong lusim ka, orait wanpela "kranki" Level 2 saja i wok gut tru. Yu baim moa long 'redundant capability'.

Tingting bilong mi? Sapos smat vesen i kost $50-75 moa, kisim. Sapos em i $200 premium, ating sediul bilong ka bilong yu i mekim na yu no nidim.

Hevi bilong kol weta i no gat wanpela man i toksave long yu long en

 

Em i wanpela samting we i save mekim ol papa bilong ol EV long noten-klaimet i kirap nogut: Level 1 sasing long taim bilong kol i no inap long helpim yu.

Taim tempereja i go daun aninit long mak bilong ais, bateri hita bilong EV bilong yu i save wok long holim ol sel i stap long gutpela tempereja bilong ol. Dispela hita i save kisim pawa. Long Level 1, yu ken putim 1.4 kW tasol taim hita i yusim 1+ kW long holim yet tempereja bilong bateri. Net pe bilong sasim? Sampela taim i no gutpela tumas. Mi bin lukim ol ripot bilong ol Level 1 saja long Minnesota long taim bilong kol we i save wokabaut long wara-bateri i no save lusim sas, tasol em i no save kisim gutpela samting tu.

Bikpela pawa autput bilong Level 2 i winim dispela dro. Maski bateri hita i wok, yu wok long putim bikpela 'range' yet. Dispela tasol i mekim Level 2 i klostu kamap bikpela samting long olgeta manmeri husat i save putim kar ausait long ples we i no hat tumas.

Ol standet bilong konektor: i no paul tumas olsem em i luk

Long Level 1 na Level 2 AC sasing, konekta situesen long Not Amerika i stretpela. Klostu olgeta non-Tesla EV i save yusim SAE J1772 standet (sampela taim ol i kolim "J plug" tasol). Ol kar bilong Tesla i save yusim wanpela konekta tasol ol i save kam wantaim wanpela J1772 adapta, olsem na ol i save wok wantaim olgeta Level 2 stesin.

Dispela senis i kamap i go long NACS (konekta bilong Tesla, nau em i wanpela SAE standet) i mekim na DC i no inap sasim hariap moa long sasim long haus. J1772 Level 2 stesin bilong yu bai wok wantaim olgeta EV we ol i salim long Not Amerika long bihain taim. Noken tingim tumas dispela wanpela.

Wokim Disisen: Wanpela Fremwok we i Helpim Tru

As tingting

Level 1 sasing em i fri, i no nidim wanpela instolesen, na i wok gut long liklik lain bilong ol EV ona husat i gat sotpela raun, plug-in ol 'hybrid', o i gat bikpela pasin bilong wet. Level 2 sasing i save kostim mani pastaim tasol i save senisim onasip bilong EV long "menesim oltaim" i go long "plug in na lusim tingting long en."

Planti ful-EV ona husat i stat wantaim Level 1 i save apgredim. Askim i no tru olsem Level 2 i gutpela o nogat-long planti draiva, em i gutpela. Askim em sapos yu laik lainim dispela leson long ekspiriens o yu laik go stret long gutpela rot.

Maski wanem rot, yu wok long draiv long ol 'electron' na i no long wara bilong 'dinosaur'. Em i hap we i bikpela samting tru.
