Thank Another Member ToMaSjKn who had corrected me in his mail "The charging time is NOT limited by the power available for the charger but by battery chemistry. there is no escape from that...."
He is right, due to the chemistry of the battery. The fastest they can be fully charged will be at least one hour. And no need to have multiple chargers because the wiring circuitry, but need bigger amps to charge the battery faster. And some EV did put their chargers in the front of the EVs. One charger is enough! The current Avcon standard EV charger has following comments from EV yahoo groups "The evi ics-200B conductive AVCON (above) is expensive to buy and repair, gives errors too easily that denies power to the EV driver. Air Quality Management Districts choose this overly complicated and expensive AVCON charging head because they use tax payer money and do not drive Electric " ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Had located the new China EV factory for a 4 door EV ZhongQiang Power-tech Co.,Ltd http://www.zqpt.com You could not find the picture or information of this EV from their website yet. Interested parties can contact them for more details! Powered by Li-Polymer Battery. Hailed in Chinese media as the solution for a cleaner future! Range: 316 KM = 189.6miles Max Speed: 120KM = 74.4 Miles Charging time: 1- 4 hours depends on what types of chargers e.g.They have 80 Li-Polymer batteries, @3.7V/100amps, weight 3 kgs=6.6 lbs 10 batteries in a string(battery pack), 8 strands in total. 420V/240 kgs = 529 lbs (All connected in series) From 110VAC or 220VAC outlets to inverter, output 42VDC. If we had a powerful charger to get a 100amps output, then it will take one hour to charge Small portable battery charger will take like 4 hours, because of the low amps! (FYI: Most of the batteries charge fast in the beginning, one hour will reach 90% capacity. But the last leg of charging is really slow and hard, only negative in circuit. And needs lower voltage which a regular charger will not fluctuate to meet this slow down requirement. So the last 5-10% is not 100% necessary to just wait there for another hour to fully charge. 90% is what the factory normally considers Full!) My rosy projection for 24 minutes based on powerful chargers was incorrect! The powerful amps has it's limitation, given up to the Chemistry of the made of the battery! And the factory is hoping to improve the batteries to get it smaller and lighter, to free the energy consumption of the EV. Li-Polymer batteries has no memory, so the factory suggested to charge the batteries whenever you reach a chargers. 30 minutes can give you back over 50% of capacity if you really could not wait for one hour. Go have a meal or go shopping, 30-60 minutes to let the EV charged up. Maybe a portable battery charger do not have greater amps, but we can have one with the EV. Then you can charge EV whenever you could find a AC outlet! So we are back to the original EV stage, waiting to improve batteries and hope the Organic solar chargers will be added to EV soon. So EV can be self-charged under the sun, and hope we have more charging stations available. And maybe EV makers can make the battery split into smaller portable battery packs. So in emergency, we can remove the used battery packs and replace with fully charged one real fast! The option to have a Diesel/Electric car will be a good one! EV's is still a very good solution, electricity is the cheapest energy! Available almost everywhere! I will stick to EV's and waiting for the next generation PV to come to market! But where I can find a EV that can be recharged in one hour like this Chinese EV? The factory is too far away! So the wait is on again, to find a car that is workable!
