And Sewage Sweeper hasn't noted that I didn't claim anything of the sort. I just said "a fast charger". He had used the phrase "super charger" but without detailing which sort of charger he had in mind - which isn't surprising since he isn't good with details.
But there are always ways of getting around these limitations, if you can thrown enough money at the problem.
I didn't say anything about a level 3 Super Charger, and neither did you, when you started carrying on about it - I explicity renamed your lower case "super charger" as a "fast charger" and pointed out that you could get fast charging out of your own static battery bank in your own garage.
As usual, you have misrepresented what I posted and and are carrying on about a "mistake" you made up all by yourself.
Not even 1MW. That's why it's cheaper to spend $30M in Modesto to build their own solar power plant. There is not much out there in Modesto other than truckers. No reason for PG&E to run high power lines there. If not for the CARB money, it's probably cheaper to have their own nat. gas power plant.
I didn't realize you worked for the electric company. Of course you can get 1 MW connection to the grid. There are Tesla charging stations with 40-150 kW units, which is 6 MW total! Maybe you don't realize that 1 MW is not all that much. It would power around 500 homes. With a population of 218,464 people, Modesto already has some 400+ MW being delivered, just for homes.
Why do you talk nonsense so much? There are plenty of times when you have something interesting to say, but you spout nonsense so often, it's hard to hear what useful things you say.
The subject line of this thread is "So, you are thinking about buying an electric truck..." which you ought to remember, because you wrote it.
And "fast chargers" aren't necessarily "super chargers", much as you might want to simplify the discussion to a point where you can follow it. You do seem to be trying to cover you own sorry ass here.
I know FUCKING WELL what the thread subject was, and recharging these abortions became pertinent subject material.
They definitely were in the context of this thread, you TOTAL IDIOT! I was talking about them when you opined that said chargers could be put into residences IF you could "negotiate" their energy requirements with the utilities. Go back and READ your own f****ng posts, moron.
Sewage Sweeper thinks that he is some kind of omniscient moderator. He can't understand what he has posted, let alone anybody else.
What I actually said was that the batteries could be recharged at home if you were prepared to go to enough trouble and spend enough money.
I didn't specify any particular kind of charger and I did mention that one of the options was to have fixed battery at home which could be recharged - relatively slowly - while you driving around in your truck and then use to recharge the truck battery rapidly when you got home.
You seem to want to simplify this into a product you could go out and buy off the shelf. It may even exist in the US market, but you wouldn't know about it if it did.
The situation has deteriorated even more: battery costs have risen so fast that Ford has had to raise the price of its EV F-150, the Lightning, THREE TIMES, or FORTY PERCENT, this year. This is an excerpt from the WSJ

: Ford Motor Co. F -6.98%decrease; red down pointing triangle has increased the starting price of its electric F-150 Lightning Pro to nearly $56,000, the latest in a series of sticker hikes attributed to the rising costs of raw materials.
When the first full-size, battery-powered pickup trucks began rolling off Detroit assembly lines in April, the starting price was roughly $40,000.
By August, that price had jumped to $46,974. And in October, Ford executives raised it again, to $51,974.
LOL! Have you LOST YOUR MIND, Bozo? I started to think that you just Googled "super charger" and that was the first hit, but, NO, the first hit is

So says the idiot who NEVER provides requested facts. This link just CONFIRMS what I said: you can't put a Level 3 (supercharger) into a residence. If you think you can, provide me just ONE example.
Sorry, but I stand by my claim, otherwise, show me just ONE person who has done this.
AGAIN, you FAIL to produce the facts because you DON'T HAVE THEM!
So says the IDIOT who advocates FIREBOMBING and NUKING his own country!
I've known about super chargers and the P-38 Lightening since long before Google existed.
With your claimed interest in aviation you should have too.
You haven't posted a complete specification of a level 3 supercharger, which isn't what I was talking about anyway.
Except - as I have been persistently pointing out - I never specifed a level 3 supercharger, but merely a fast charger, and did specify that you'd probably need an electric car-sized battery at home to let you delver current into your truck at that sort of rate.
I don't have to. You might never have done a feasiblity study, but I have. This is obviously a feasible project - you might not think so, but you are an idiot.
No. Because I don't need to for a moronic windbag like you.
Another one of Sewage Sweepers gratifying delusion. He wilfully misunderstood the original thread. and can't be brought to see how he got it wrong.
