And here at work we just had a DC “fast charger” installed that does 50kW. Lol

Chinese EV can’t come to Canada soon enough.

Does it matter at work?

Just looked it up and apparently 10-20kWh per 100km is fairly typical for normal size EVs and 30 or so for American sized ones.

So even a regular ~2kW socket would be plenty. For the amount of time it is parked at work it would fully charge from any normal commute.

Aight, but can the batteries actually handle that without damage?

We are a dealership. All of our EV must be fully charged at delivery, so that can be dozens of 85 kWhr batteries a week from empty.

OK that is quite a unique "at work" demand for fast charging.
