Ukuvela Koxhumano lwe-Tesla NACS

Isixhumi se-NACS uhlobo lwesixhumi sokushaja esisetshenziselwa ukuxhuma izimoto zikagesi eziteshini zokushaja ukuze kudluliselwe ukushaja (ugesi) kusuka esiteshini sokushaja kuya ezimotweni zikagesi. Isixhumi se-NACS sakhiwe yi-Tesla Inc futhi sisetshenziswe kuyo yonke imakethe yaseNyakatho Melika ukushaja izimoto ze-Tesla kusukela ngo-2012.

NgoNovemba 2022, isixhumi sokushaja sezimoto zikagesi (i-EV) se-NACS noma i-Tesla savulwa ukuze sisetshenziswe abanye abakhiqizi bezimoto zikagesi kanye nabaqhubi benethiwekhi yokushaja izimoto zikagesi emhlabeni jikelele. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, iFisker, iFord, iGeneral Motors, iHonda, iJaguar, iMercedes-Benz, iNissan, iPolestar, iRivian, kanye neVolvo bamemezele ukuthi kusukela ngo-2025, izimoto zabo zikagesi eNyakatho Melika zizobe zifakwe i-NACS charge port.

Kuyini i-NACS Connector?
Isixhumi se-North American Charging Standard (NACS), esaziwa nangokuthi yi-Tesla charging standard, siyisistimu yesixhumi sokushaja sezimoto zikagesi (EV) esakhiwe yi-Tesla, Inc. Sisetshenziswe kuzo zonke izimoto ze-Tesla emakethe yaseNyakatho Melika kusukela ngo-2012 futhi savulwa ukuze sisetshenziswe abanye abakhiqizi ngo-2022.

Isixhumi se-NACS siyisixhumi esinepulagi eyodwa esingasekela kokubili ukushaja kwe-AC kanye ne-DC. Sincane futhi silula kunezinye izixhumi zokushaja okusheshayo ze-DC, njengesixhumi se-CCS Combo 1 (CCS1). Isixhumi se-NACS singasekela amandla afinyelela ku-1 MW ku-DC, okwanele ukushaja ibhethri le-EV ngesivinini esikhulu kakhulu.

Ukuvela Koxhumano lwe-NACS
I-Tesla yasungula isixhumi sokushaja esizimele se-Tesla Model S ngo-2012, ngezinye izikhathi esibizwa ngokungafanele ngokuthi indinganiso yokushaja ye-Tesla. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, indinganiso yokushaja ye-Tesla ibilokhu isetshenziswa kuzo zonke izimoto zayo ze-EV ezalandela, i-Model X, i-Model 3, kanye ne-Model Y.

NgoNovemba 2022, iTesla yaqamba kabusha lesi sixhumi sokushaja esiyimfihlo saba “iNorth American Charging Standard” (NACS) futhi yavula indinganiso ukuze yenze imininingwane itholakale kwabanye abakhiqizi be-EV.

Ngomhlaka-27 Juni 2023, i-SAE International yamemezela ukuthi izoyilinganisa i-connector njenge-SAE J3400.

Ngo-Agasti 2023, iTesla yakhipha ilayisense kuVolex yokwakha izixhumi ze-NACS.

NgoMeyi 2023, iTesla & Ford yamemezela ukuthi basayine isivumelwano sokunikeza abanikazi bezimoto ze-Ford EV ukufinyelela kuma-supercharger e-Tesla angaphezu kuka-12,000 e-US naseCanada kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2024. Kwamenyezelwa izivumelwano eziningi ezifanayo phakathi kweTesla nabanye abakhiqizi bezimoto ze-EV, okuhlanganisa i-GM, iVolvo Cars, iPolestar kanye neRivian emasontweni alandelayo.

I-ABB ithe izonikeza ama-plug e-NACS njengenketho kumashaja ayo ngokushesha nje lapho ukuhlolwa nokuqinisekiswa kwesixhumi esisha sekuqediwe. I-EVgo ithe ngoJuni ukuthi izoqala ukufaka izixhumi ze-NACS kumashaja asheshayo kunethiwekhi yayo yase-US kamuva kulo nyaka. Futhi i-ChargePoint, efaka futhi iphathe amashaja kwamanye amabhizinisi, ithe amakhasimende ayo manje asengakwazi uku-oda amashaja amasha anezixhumi ze-NACS nokuthi ingaphinde ifake amashaja ayo akhona ngezixhumi eziklanywe yi-Tesla.

Ukucaciswa Kobuchwepheshe be-NACS
I-NACS isebenzisa ukwakheka kwamaphini amahlanu – amaphini amabili ayinhloko asetshenziselwa ukuthwala amandla kagesi kokubili – ukushaja kwe-AC kanye nokushaja okusheshayo kwe-DC:
Ngemva kokuhlolwa kokuqala okuvumela ama-EV angewona ama-Tesla ukuthi asebenzise iziteshi ze-Tesla Supercharger eYurophu ngoDisemba 2019, i-Tesla yaqala ukuhlola isixhumi esixhumanisayo esikabili esithi “Magic Dock” ezindaweni ezikhethiwe ze-North American Supercharger ngoMashi 2023. I-Magic Dock ivumela i-EV ukuthi ishaje ngesixhumi se-NACS noma i-Combined Charging Standard (CCS) version 1, esizohlinzeka ikhono lobuchwepheshe cishe kuzo zonke izimoto zikagesi zebhethri ithuba lokushaja.
