      The charge rate is not to high. 4WT is duel 400 VDC packs in parallel, when charged by EA 350 KW (around 1000 VDC) the two halves switch to series turning it into a single 800 VDC pack.

    All these EV truck tests and races makes this the greatest EV truck series to ever be done and recorded to this point in history.
    And EV trucks should all have their port on the right front to accommodate pull in charging while towing on V3's and other chargers. Even Tesla fails by not placing their own Cybertruck's port there. We know that pull through stalls will take quite a few years to propagate all throughout the country. And of course, all should be 800v with backwards compatibility with 400v chargers. Either by splitting the pack in two, or a proper on-board DC charger that provides at least 200kw charging on them.

    • @Nebula1701

      What everyone is missing is the port location is really dependent on charging equipment location in the truck and the shortest cable run into the battery.

    • @oof_Dad
      @oof_Dad หลายเดือนก่อน

      What do you you think you gain from over 250 kw speed? A few minutes from 0-30%, everything over that is below 250 anyway. Holding 250 kw longer/deeper will increase speed more. 800v is better for cost but cells still limit charge curve.

    • @tazeat
      @tazeat หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      Uh 350kW is 40% more speed over 250kW putting a lot more area under the curve for that part off the charge? The 4WT doesn't taper until like 35%, that's a whole MY LR battery before it even starts to slow. It doesn't go below 250kW until after 60%. Big boy curve. 250kW@400V=625A, which makes some pretty serious heat loss in just the wiring. It just doesn't make a lot of sense for trucks when you need to put in real energy.

      @@tazeat true, the Silverado is on another level with that huge pack. Didn't realize how long it held 350. 250 is fine for the others but that monster pack has a LOT of curve over 250. Should have watched till that part before commenting 😬.

    • @Paul-cj1wb
      @Paul-cj1wb หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Yep. Check out the 2025 Taycan curve. It stays over 300kw past 62% and then above 200kw till 76%. It can do that because 800v keeps everything around the pack so much cooler and it's so much easier to cool the cells. Most people can't understand that no matter how much you explain it to them.
      For example, the Taycan never went past 130F while the 250kw speed of new Model X (400v) with it's tremendous curve all the way to 31% reached 140F by that time. And the new Model X and S are charging monsters. But 800v simply takes it to another level.
      That's the future of all EVs, but especially for trucks. No trucks going forward can afford to be 400v.

    1:13:49 Generally, Silverado EV drivers are still going to want to prioritize ChargePoint, EA, and EVgo over the Superchargers because of the voltage differences. Luckily, with the Silverado's range and flatter charging profile, people will be able to be a bit more picky about which 350+ kW public chargers they use.

    1:08:58 ABB units were the ones installed with the first-gen HUBER + SUHNER cables that had the faulty thermistors. So the reduction to 100 A occurs when that thermistor doesn't have a good temperature rating. It's possible that even if it is buggy, EA might allow the full 500 A when the thermistor is functioning. Of course, EA should have replaced all those cables by now, but it's really hard to tell where they are in their upgrades.

    Try to Remember Towing should be done at Safe Speeds and the Driver needs to take responsible Breaks to maintain concentration. If you can get 300 Miles out of a Tow in an EV before needing to charge that should be enough. Batteries will only get better. Regressing to a Diesel which emits Carcinogenic Fumes is like someone taking up smoking Again but making sure everyone nearby gets secondhand Smoke.

  • @randr10
    @randr10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    The surge brakes on these uhaul trailers might actually hurt range on the electric trucks because the brakes come on any time the tow vehicle slows whether you want it to or not. They work great and they're super smooth for towing but you don't want friction brakes coming on when you're doing regen only. I would assume that the manufacturers designed these to not apply the electric trailer brakes during regen. There's a solenoid that bypasses the brakes when your tow vehicle reverse lights come on, so there may be a way to trick that into happening on the tow vehicle during regen, but I don't know if the engineers thought of that. I would assume they didn't.

    The subconscious assumption here is that to be a real pickup, then you have to be able to tow 1000s of pounds 100s of miles regularly. That's only about 7% of the pickup market. But if you need to tow with an EV, then the Silverado is the beast.

      Like it or not, there are more V3 stalls/dispensers out there than ALL other stalls/dispensers combined. In fact, more than 4 times more than all other Fast DC charging ports. So unless you want to restrict your options to only 25% of the charging options out there without having to carry around an extension that can be lost or stolen, or taking up two spots, you place it on the correct location.
