The smallest Leaf would take at least 10 hours to charge and still requires a dedicated 16 Amp outlet and at 100v Japanese system it will take even longer.Ĭharging stations need a dedicated 30 Amp and the newest ones 50amp ( Japanese homes general have 60 Amp total). > Car parks will become charging stations. > Electric car battery chargers to become mandatory in new buildings in Tokyo. We will be in major difficulty -1ĭomestic charging of EVs is usually done overnight when the power demand is low.
#50 amp breaker upgrade#
So no I am not against EV I am however realistic and passing laws or pushing for more Electric cars without a very very very big and incredibly fast upgrade to every country's power production, distribution, etc. Germany today is implementing emergency measures to save power and we aren't even winter yet. We are talking domestically 13.25 million cars )private homes only) or in other words the power consumption of a minimum additional 330 million refrigerator.Ĭalifornia is rationing electricity, last winter Texas's grid collapsed just because of cold weather. So is we us the official 53 million households and the official 25% own cars and we act like only a single car each ( not there are actually 68 million cars in Japan) So could the system in now, in 5 years, in 10 years support every home that presently owns a car having anywhere from 25 to 50 refrigerators running? (Using Japanese size the estimate is between 50 and 75 times).
Simple taking a large north american refrigerator, it uses approximately 25 times less electricity then to change a single electric car.
Unless some miracle upgrade to the electric production, grid and distribution 90% of the countries in the world what we will a giant bricks on wheels. Look it makes no difference, cheap EV, cheaper batteries etc.
