Meaningless in an actual usage figure. Watt. Unit of energy No, a watt is a unit of power. A watt is a Joule per second, where Joule is the unit of energy. Killowatt or KW.. 1000 watts, or think of is as 8.33 amps at 120 volts irrelevant to time. Yes. Kwh Killowatt hour the amount of energy used, in the above 120 volt circuit, drawing 8.33 amps for 1 hour Yes. Make sense now? Does what make sense? The Tesla charges are throwing hundreds of amps at 400 ish volts. Impressive, but that's why the numbers are so big. Definitely a lot of power, agreed. See comments above.

His home usage is accurate as is his load. https://www.anker.com/blogs/home-power-backup/electricity-usage-how-much-energy-does-an-average-house-use Maybe you should change the thread title to “How Much Power It Takes to Supercharge an EV” rather than energy. These terms are not interchangeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted January 6 Gold Member Share Posted January 6 Many dc charge locations are using battery systems to shave demand charges on highly utilized superchargers. Even competing manufactures are using Tesla battery packs at their stations. Also it’s pretty much impossible for all EV’s to pull max kw’s just cause of charge ramp ups and down based on EV battery capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Wonder when and how they’re going to start collecting road taxes on EV’s. Should be higher than a properly powered vehicle too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feds will likely just tax the rich more or borrow the shortfall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you are working with the older version of Newspeak? Easier to explain with 200,000 less words to use.
