A Challenge for My Dear Readers

The above picture is an Artist's Rendering of an EV Charging Station that a German company named Sortimo plans to build. They say it will be the world’s biggest EV fast-charging station with 144 charging ports.

Already the confusion starts...

The Information I have found and will present to you below differs greatly from Sortimo’s numbers above.

Ø Sortimo says their 144 charging ports will charge 4,000 cars a day.

Ø The information below says it will take 600 Charging Ports to do 2,000 cars a day.

 ------------

Ø Sortimo says 24 of their 144 Charging Ports will be Super Chargers with a capacity of 350 kilowatts.

Ø The information below talks about 50 kilowatt chargers but makes no reference to Super Chargers but Sortimo does say that Tesla’s current Super Chargers are 150 kilowatts.

------------

Ø Sortimo says their Charging Station could offer savings of 7.8 million gallons, of fuel.

Ø Sortimo does not say how many gallons of Fossil Fuel will be necessary to create the electricity to put into their 4,000 cars a day.

Remember batteries do not make electricity they only store electricity that had already been made by burning some kind of Fossil Fuel.

Would I be accused of being a Wise Ass if I said that the electricity to put into Sortimo’s Car Batteries Will Not Be Made By Other Batteries?

Below are facts I got from the Internet. Here is your challenge...

Ø The Internet is very good at giving us Confusing if not Completely Opposite Explanations of Issues.

Ø If you have information that can disprove my found information below, use my blog’s Comments Feature to present those facts to your fellow readers of Foolishness...Or Is It?.

Ø We need the Truth, whether or not it is the "Truth" we often times so desperately we want to see.

If you are able, please help My Dear Readers and me to get to the Truth.

EV Charging Insanity

In order to match the 2,000 cars that a typical filling station can service in a busy 12 hours, an EV charging station would require 600, 50-watt chargers at an estimated cost of $24 million and a supply of 30 megawatts of power from the grid. That is enough to power 20,000 homes. No one likely thinks about the fact that it can take 30 minutes to 8 hours to recharge a vehicle between empty or just topping off. What are the drivers doing during that time?

Many of the EV Charging Waiters who are waiting for 8 hours are going to need some place to sleep and, in some cases, Counseling. This will result in the beautiful pastoral scene in the Artist’s Rendering being littered with Pup Tents and Army Cots with Physiatrists holding iPads seated next to the cots ready to spring into action.

Since EV Charging Stations are proposed to be the replacement for Gasoline Filling Stations, you can be sure that there will be Hot Dogs Hamburgers, Nachos and such available for sale so the EV Charging Waiters can “enjoy” their wait. This is going to result in a significant increase in the Body Bulk and the Cholesterol Count of Americans all across the Fruited Plain but that’s fodder for another Blog Posting on another day.

Would I kid u?
