Re: Power Draw...
Los Angeles has 38,901
Apartment buildings with
Nine or more Apartments.
Mayor Bass has stressed
the NEED for charger locations
in these apartments...
Let's think about this...
You don't want 120 volt chargers,
they only provide 5 miles of charge per HOUR !
You want 240 Volt Chargers,
80 Amp circuits that can charge
a Ford F-150 in 8 hours ...
Ok...
240 volts times 80 Amps is
19.2 Kilowatts (continuous)
19.2 times 9 locations is 172.8 KiloWatts...
172.8 times 38,901 buildings
is 6,722,092.8 KiloWatts
That's 6722 Megawatts...
Continuous Power..!
What is the rated output
of the Diablo Canyon
Nuclear Power Plant ?
2256 Megawatts.
That's about a Third
of what those apartment
Buildings would need !
So Mayor Bass and
Governor Newsom better
get busy building 3 more
Diablo Canyons for LA !
Better hurry, they take
a decade to build !!!!!
Chuck
PS.
Ok, you can build 3 more
Coal Burning Inter-Mountain
Power Projects, like the one
that LA's DWP is building in UTAH
Yep. Coal.
for your "clean" electric cars...
PPS:
Besides Three 2-GW power plants you also need NEW
POWER LINES to all 38,901
Apartment buildings ...
You can't expect the old
City wiring to handle 6722
Additional MEGAWATTS !
And, since you have to
pull all those new lines,
you might as well pull
3-phase 480v power.
That will cost a bundle.
