Zithini iingenelo zeplagi ye-NACS kaTesla?

Zithini iingenelo zoyilo lweeplagi ze-NACS zeTesla ngaphezu komgangatho weCombined Charging System (CCS) osetyenziswa zii-EV ezininzi ezingezizo zeTesla kunye nezikhululo zokutshaja eMelika?

Iplagi ye-NACS yidizayini entle ngakumbi. Ewe, incinci kwaye kulula ukuyisebenzisa. Ewe, iadaptha ye-CCS inkulu kakhulu ngaphandle kwesizathu esithile. Oko akumangalisi ngokwenene. Uyilo lweTesla lwenziwe yinkampani enye, isebenza ngokuzimeleyo VS. indlela yoyilo-yikomiti. Imigangatho idla ngokuyilwa yikomiti, kunye nazo zonke izivumelwano kunye nezopolitiko ezibandakanyekayo. Andingonjineli wombane, ngoko andinakuthetha netekhnoloji ebandakanyekayo. Kodwa ndinamava amaninzi omsebenzi ngemigangatho yaseMntla Melika kunye neyeHlabathi. Isiphumo sokugqibela senkqubo ngokubanzi silungile, kodwa kudla ngokuba buhlungu kwaye kucotha ukufika apho.

Kodwa iingenelo zobugcisa ze-NACS vs. CCS azikho ngokwenene ezi zinto zitshintshileyo. Ngaphandle kwesixhumi esikhulu, i-CCS ayilunganga okanye ayimbi kune-NACS. Nangona kunjalo, ezi nkqubo azihambelani, kwaye e-US, iTesla iphumelele kakhulu kunayo nayiphi na enye inethiwekhi yokutshaja. Uninzi lwabantu alukhathali malunga nobunzima boyilo lwezibuko lokutshaja. Bakhathalela kuphela ukuba zeziphi iindlela zokutshaja ezikhoyo kubo zokutshaja okulandelayo, kunye nokuba itshaja iya kusebenza ngesantya sayo esimiselweyo.

I-Tesla yenze uyilo lwayo lweeplagi zokutshaja oluzimeleyo malunga nexesha elinye nelo i-CCS yayisekwa ngalo, yaza yaluqalisa xa kwakusaziswa inethiwekhi yayo ye-supercharger. Ngokungafaniyo nezinye iinkampani ze-EV, i-Tesla yagqiba ekubeni ilawule ikamva layo xa kusaziswa izikhululo zokutshaja, endaweni yokuyishiya kubantu besithathu. Yathatha inethiwekhi yayo ye-supercharger nzulu kwaye yatyala imali eninzi ekuyiqaliseni. Ilawula inkqubo, iyila kwaye ivelise izixhobo zayo zokutshaja, kwaye iyila izikhululo zokutshaja. Zihlala zine-charger ezili-12-20 kwindawo nganye ye-supercharger, kwaye zine-uptime rating ephezulu kakhulu.

Abanye abathengisi bokutshaja basebenzisa i-hodgepodge yabathengisi bezixhobo zokutshaja ezahlukeneyo (ezinamanqanaba ahlukeneyo omgangatho), zihlala zine-charger zokwenyani eziphakathi kwe-1-6 kwindawo nganye, kwaye ziphantsi ukuya kwi-avareji (eyona ingcono) umlinganiselo wexesha lokusebenza. Uninzi lwabenzi be-EV abanayo inethiwekhi yabo yokutshaja. Abahlukileyo nguRivian, ozinikele kwinqanaba leTesla lokukhupha iitshaja, kodwa ufika emva kwexesha epatini. Bakhupha iitshaja ngokukhawuleza, kwaye ixesha labo lokusebenza lilungile, kodwa inethiwekhi yabo yokutshaja yenqanaba lesi-3 isengaphantsi konyaka ubudala okwangoku. I-Electrify America iphethwe yi-VW. Nangona kunjalo, ubungqina abukho ngokwenene bokuzinikela kwayo kuyo. Okokuqala, abazange bagqibe ekubeni basebenzise inethiwekhi yokutshaja. Kwakufuneka bayidale njengesohlwayo seDieselgate. Leyo ayisiyondlela ofuna ukuqala ngayo inkampani. Kwaye ngokunyanisekileyo, irekhodi lenkonzo ye-ElectrifyAmerica iqinisa kuphela umfanekiso wokuba ayibonakali iyithatha nzulu kakhulu. Kuqhelekile ukuba isiqingatha okanye ngaphezulu seetshaja kwindawo yokutshaja ye-EA zingasebenzi nangaliphi na ixesha. Xa kukho iitshaja ezimbalwa ekuqaleni, oko kuthetha ukuba kukho itshaja enye okanye ezimbini kuphela ezisebenzayo (ngamanye amaxesha azikho), kwaye azikho ngesantya esiphezulu.

Ngowama-2022, iTesla yakhupha uyilo lwayo olukhethekileyo ukuze lusetyenziswe zezinye iinkampani yaza yalubiza ngokuba yiNorth American Charging Standard (NACS). Ayisiyondlela esebenza ngayo imigangatho leyo. Awunakufumana ithuba lokubhengeza isisombululo sakho njengomgangatho omtsha.

Kodwa imeko ayiqhelekanga. Ngokubanzi, xa kukho umgangatho omiselweyo, inkampani enye ayizukukwazi ukuphuma iye kuqalisa uyilo olukhuphisanayo ngempumelelo. Kodwa iTesla iphumelele kakhulu eMelika. Inesabelo esikhulu kwimarike ekuthengisweni kwezithuthi kwimarike ye-EV yaseMelika. Inxalenye enkulu, kungenxa yokuba iqalise inethiwekhi yayo ye-supercharger enamandla, ngelixa abanye abenzi be-EV bekhetha ukungakwenzi oko.

Isiphumo kukuba, ukuza kuthi ga namhlanje, kukho ii-supercharger zeTesla ezininzi kakhulu ezikhoyo eMelika kunazo zonke ezinye iitshaja zeCCS level 3, xa zidibene. Ukucaca, oku akubangelwa kukuba iNACS ingcono kuneCCS. Kungenxa yokuba ukuqaliswa kwezikhululo zeCCS akukhange kuphathwe kakuhle, ngelixa ukuqaliswa kweNACS kuye kwenziwa.

Ngaba bekuya kuba ngcono ukuba besinokumisela umgangatho omnye kwihlabathi liphela? Ngokuqinisekileyo. Ekubeni iYurophu imisele kwiCCS, loo mgangatho wehlabathi kufuneka ube yiCCS. Kodwa akukho sizathu sikhulu sokuba iTesla itshintshele kwiCCS e-US, kuba ubuchwepheshe bayo bungcono kwaye yeyona ikhokelayo kwimarike. Abathengi babanye abenzi be-EV (kuquka nam) bakwenze kwacaca ukuba abanelisekanga ngumgangatho weendlela zokutshaja ezikhoyo kubo. Ngenxa yoko, ukukhetha ukusebenzisa i-NACS kulula kakhulu.
