Isiqhwaga esishajayo saseYurophu i-Alpitronic singena emakethe yase-US “ngobuchwepheshe bayo obumnyama”. Ingabe u-Tesla ubhekene nombangi onamandla?

Isiqhwaga esishajayo saseYurophu i-Alpitronic singena emakethe yase-US “ngobuchwepheshe bayo obumnyama”. Ingabe u-Tesla ubhekene nombangi onamandla?

Muva nje, i-Mercedes-Benz ibambisene ne-European giant Alpitronic ukusungula iziteshi zokushaja ngokushesha ezingama-kilowatt angu-400 e-United States yonkana. Lesi simemezelo siye sabangela ukuphazamiseka emkhakheni wokushaja izimoto zikagesi, njengetshe elincane eliphonswe echibini elinokuthula! Kuyaqapheleka ukuthi iMercedes-Benz, njengenkampani ekhiqiza izimoto zikanokusho eyasungulwa kudala, ithokozela ukuqashelwa emhlabeni jikelele kanye nesizinda sabasebenzisi abaningi. Nakuba i-Alpitronic, le "intsha" yase-Europe eshajayo, kungenzeka ibingaziwa kakhulu e-China ngaphambilini, ibichuma eYurophu. Iye yanda buthule, yasungula inethiwekhi yokushaja eningi futhi yaqongelela ulwazi olucebile lwezobuchwepheshe nokusebenza. Lokhu kubambisana ngokungangabazeki kumelela umfelandawonye onamandla phakathi kwesikhondlakhondla sezimoto kanye nendlu yamandla eshajayo, eqondise amandla amakhulu emakethe yezimoto zikagesi yaseMelika. Uguquko emkhakheni wokushaja kubonakala seluqalile buthule.

I-Alpitronic, umholi emkhakheni wokushaja ovela e-Italy, yasungulwa ngo-2018. Nakuba ingemdala kakhulu, izuze imiphumela ephawulekayo ocwaningweni nasekuthuthukisweni, ekukhiqizeni nasekudayiseni izinqwaba zokushaja. Eminyakeni embalwa nje, isungule isisekelo esiqinile emakethe yokushaja yaseYurophu futhi yavela kancane kancane.

E-Europe, i-Alpitronic yethule uchungechunge lwemikhiqizo yesiteshi sokushaja ehlonishwa kakhulu, njenge-HYC150, HYC300, ne-HYC50, ngayinye enezici zayo ezihlukile. Thatha i-HYC50, isibonelo: ime njengesiteshi sokuqala sokushaja se-DC esigxunyekwe ngodonga esingu-50kW emhlabeni. Lo mklamo omusha uhlanganisa izimbobo zokushaja ezimbili, ezivumela ukushaja okusheshayo ku-50kW ngemoto eyodwa kagesi noma ukushajwa kanyekanye kwezimoto ezimbili ku-25kW iyinye. Lokhu kuthuthukisa kakhulu ukusebenza kahle kokusetshenziswa kwengqalasizinda yokushaja kuyilapho kunikeza ukuguquguquka okukhulu kubasebenzisi abanezidingo ezihlukahlukene. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-HYC50 isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-Infineon's CoolSiC, ifinyelela ukusebenza kahle kokushaja okufika kuma-97%. Iphinde ihlanganise amandla okushaja nokukhipha ama-bidirectional, isekela ngokugcwele imodeli edumile njengamanje ye-Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G). Lokhu kusho ukuthi izimoto zikagesi azikwazi nje ukudonsa amandla kugridi kodwa futhi ziphakela amandla agciniwe abuyele kuwo uma kunesidingo, okuvumela ukwabiwa kwamandla aguquguqukayo. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ekugcineni ukuqina kwegridi nokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kokusetshenziswa kwamandla. Ifomu layo elihlangene, elingama-1250×520×220mm³ nje kuphela futhi linesisindo esingaphansi kuka-100kg, linikeza ukuguquguquka okukhethekile kokufakwa. Ingafakwa odongeni ngaphakathi endlini noma ifakwe ezisekelweni zangaphandle, ithole kalula izindawo ezifanele noma ngabe isezifundeni zezohwebo zasemadolobheni ezinomkhawulo noma amapaki ezimoto angaphansi kwedolobha avulekile.

Ngokusebenzisa lezi ziteshi zokushaja ezithuthuke kakhulu kwezobuchwepheshe, ezisebenza kahle kakhulu, i-Alpitronic isungule ngokushesha indawo emakethe yaseYurophu. Le nkampani ithumele ngempumelelo ingqalasizinda yayo emazweni nasezifundeni eziningi, yakha inethiwekhi yokushaja ebanzi eyibeke njengamandla abalulekile emkhakheni wengqalasizinda wokushaja wase-Europe. Abasebenzisi abaningi bezimoto zikagesi base-Europe manje bayazuza ekululameni kwezindawo zokushaja ze-Alpitronic phakathi nohambo lwabo lwansuku zonke, kuyilapho ukuqashelwa komkhiqizo nomthelela wemakethe uqhubeka nokukhula kancane kancane.

Ukulandela impumelelo yayo emakethe yaseYurophu, i-Alpitronic ayizange iphumule kodwa yabeka izimakethe zayo ezimakethe ezibanzi zomhlaba, lapho i-United States iphuma njengento ebalulekile. NgoNovemba 2023 kumake umzuzu oyingqophamlando njengoba i-Alpitronic isungula indlunkulu yayo yebhizinisi eCharlotte, North Carolina, USA. Lesi sikhungo esikhulu, esikwazi ukuhlalisa izikhundla ezingaphezu kuka-300, sibonisa ngokusobala ukuzibophezela kwenkampani ekusunguleni isisekelo esiqinile emakethe yaseMelika. Lesi sikhungo sisebenza njengesikhungo sokusebenza se-Alpitronic emakethe yase-US, sihlinzeka ngesisekelo esiqinile nokusekelwa okuqinile kokukhula kwebhizinisi okulandelayo, ukusebenza kwezimakethe, nokuthuthukiswa kwezobuchwepheshe.

Ngaleso sikhathi, i-Alpitronic iphishekela ngenkuthalo amathuba okubambisana emakethe yase-US namabhizinisi asekhaya aseMelika kanye nezinkampani ezidumile emhlabeni jikelele, ngokubambisana kwayo neMercedes-Benz kuyintuthuko ebaluleke kakhulu. Njengomkhiqizo ohamba phambili embonini yezimoto, iMercedes-Benz ibilokhu iphishekela ukunwetshwa kwamasu emkhakheni wezimoto zikagesi, ibona ukuthi ingqalasizinda eshajayo ibalulekile kukho kokubili ukwamukelwa okusabalele kwezimoto zikagesi kanye nokuthuthukisa ulwazi lomsebenzisi. I-Mercedes-Benz kanye ne-Alpitronic bavumile ukusungula iziteshi zokushaja ngokushesha zamanje ezingama-kilowatt angu-400 kulo lonke elase-United States. Lezi ziteshi zizokwakhiwa eduze kwemodeli ephambili ye-Alpitronic, i-HYC400. IHypercharger 400 iletha amandla okushaja afinyelela ku-400kW futhi isekela ububanzi bamandla kagesi okukhiphayo, okuvumela ukushaja okuphumelelayo nokushesha kwezinhlobo ezahlukene zezimoto zikagesi. Iqoqo lokuqala lezinto zokusebenza lizoqala ukuthunyelwa ezindaweni zokushaja amandla aphezulu zakwaMercedes-Benz engxenyeni yesithathu yonyaka wezi-2024. Izintambo ze-CCS ne-NACS nazo zizosatshalaliswa kunethiwekhi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kulo nyaka. Lokhu kusho ukuthi zombili izimoto zikagesi ezisebenzisa isixhumi esibonakalayo sokushaja se-CCS kanye nalezo ezisebenzisa izinga lokusebenzelana kwe-NACS zizokwazi ukushaja kalula kulezi ziteshi. Lokhu kuthuthukisa kakhulu ukuhambisana nokusebenzelana kwendawo yonke kwengqalasizinda eshajayo, kunikeze ukunethezeka okukhulu kuhlu olubanzi lwabasebenzisi bezimoto zikagesi.

Ngaphandle kokubambisana kwayo neMercedes-Benz, i-Alpitronic ihlola ngenkuthalo amamodeli wobambiswano namanye amabhizinisi ukuze iqhubeke nokukhulisa ibhizinisi layo emakethe yaseMelika. Umgomo wayo ucacile: ukuvikela indawo emakethe yokushaja yase-US ngokusungula inethiwekhi ebanzi yokushaja eletha izinsizakalo zokushaja okukhokhelwayo kubasebenzisi bezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi, ngaleyo ndlela kube nesabelo kulo mkhakha onokuncintisana okukhulu.
