Tesla Says Superchargers Will Warm Select Model 3, Y Batteries To Help Fasten Charging Process This Winter
Some Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) supercharger posts will now pre-heat batteries for select Model 3 and Y vehicles to fasten up the charging process in winter, the company said on Tuesday.
特斯拉公司(納斯達克:TSLA)表示,部分超級充電站將爲選擇的Model 3和Y車型預熱電池,以加快冬季充電過程。
What Happened: "Supercharger battery heating is now live at V3 and V4 posts in cold climates," the company announced in a post on X. The feature will help standard-range rear-wheel drive Model 3 and Y vehicles to get back on the road faster by helping fasten the charging process in extremely cold conditions, it added.
發生了什麼:公司在X平台發帖宣佈,"超級充電站電池加熱現在在寒冷氣候的V3和V4充電站上線。" 該功能將幫助標準續航後驅Model 3和Y車型在非常寒冷的條件下加快充電過程,更快地返回道路。
The supercharger will send an alternate current ripple through the Model 3 or Y's battery to help warm it up instead of the battery warming itself up. Cold weather generally slows down the charging of electric vehicles.
超級充電站將通過Model 3或Y的電池發送交流漣漪電流,以幫助加熱電池,而不是讓電池自我加熱。寒冷天氣通常會減慢新能源汽車的充電。
"This feature may seem small, but it's pretty incredible. Through an AC ripple current coming from the Superchargers, cold-soaked LFP ( lithium iron phosphate battery) vehicles will be able to get back on the road up to 4X faster," Tesla executive Max de Zegher, the Director of Charging for North America, Europe Middle East & Africa as well as the Asia Pacific, said.
特斯拉高管Max de Zegher,負責北美、歐洲、中東和非洲以及亞太地區的充電董事表示:"這個功能看起來可能很小,但它非常令人不可思議。通過來自超級充電站的交流漣漪電流,冷卻的LFP(鋰鐵磷酸電池)車輛將能以高達4倍的速度返回道路。"
However, pre-conditioning a battery before getting to a supercharger will help get the best charging performance, the exec added.
此外,該高管補充道,在到達超級充電站之前進行電池預熱將有助於獲得最佳的充電性能。
Why It Matters: de Zegher said earlier this month that the company is forecasting an increase in the use of its supercharger network over the last two weekends of the year.
爲什麼這很重要:de Zegher本月早些時候表示,公司預期在今年最後兩個週末,超級充電網絡的使用將增加。
Tesla is now trying to ensure 100% uptime for all of its superchargers while also deploying attendants and Tesla Megapack-powered chargers at its busiest sites. The company will also continue to open new superchargers through the holidays, he said.
特斯拉現在正在努力確保其所有超充站的正常運行時間達到100%,同時在其最繁忙的站點部署工作人員和由特斯拉Megapack供電的充電器。他表示,公司還將繼續在假期期間開放新的超充站。
Earlier in December, the company also reduced the price for charging at its supercharger network. The goal behind the move is to price it lower to accelerate EV adoption and be financially sustainable to invest in expanding the network, the director of charging then said.
在十二月早些時候,該公司還降低了其超級充電網絡的充電價格。此舉的目標是降低價格,以加速新能源汽車的採用,並在財務上可持續以投資擴展網絡,當時的董事表示。
Tesla has nearly 30,000 supercharging ports in the U.S. as of date, according to data from the U.S. Department of Energy.
根據美國能源部的數據,截至目前,特斯拉在美國擁有近30,000個超級充電端口。
