Tesla Says Superchargers Will Warm Select Model 3, Y Batteries To Help Fasten Charging Process This Winter
Some Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) supercharger posts will now pre-heat batteries for select Model 3 and Y vehicles to fasten up the charging process in winter, the company said on Tuesday.
特斯拉公司(纳斯达克:TSLA)表示,部分超级充电站将为选择的Model 3和Y车型预热电池,以加快冬季充电过程。
What Happened: "Supercharger battery heating is now live at V3 and V4 posts in cold climates," the company announced in a post on X. The feature will help standard-range rear-wheel drive Model 3 and Y vehicles to get back on the road faster by helping fasten the charging process in extremely cold conditions, it added.
发生了什么:公司在X平台发帖宣布,"超级充电站电池加热现在在寒冷气候的V3和V4充电站上线。" 该功能将帮助标准续航后驱Model 3和Y车型在非常寒冷的条件下加快充电过程,更快地返回道路。
The supercharger will send an alternate current ripple through the Model 3 or Y's battery to help warm it up instead of the battery warming itself up. Cold weather generally slows down the charging of electric vehicles.
超级充电站将通过Model 3或Y的电池发送交流涟漪电流,以帮助加热电池,而不是让电池自我加热。寒冷天气通常会减慢新能源汽车的充电。
"This feature may seem small, but it's pretty incredible. Through an AC ripple current coming from the Superchargers, cold-soaked LFP ( lithium iron phosphate battery) vehicles will be able to get back on the road up to 4X faster," Tesla executive Max de Zegher, the Director of Charging for North America, Europe Middle East & Africa as well as the Asia Pacific, said.
特斯拉高管Max de Zegher,负责北美、欧洲、中东和非洲以及亚太地区的充电董事表示:"这个功能看起来可能很小,但它非常令人不可思议。通过来自超级充电站的交流涟漪电流,冷却的LFP(锂铁磷酸电池)车辆将能以高达4倍的速度返回道路。"
However, pre-conditioning a battery before getting to a supercharger will help get the best charging performance, the exec added.
此外,该高管补充道,在到达超级充电站之前进行电池预热将有助于获得最佳的充电性能。
Why It Matters: de Zegher said earlier this month that the company is forecasting an increase in the use of its supercharger network over the last two weekends of the year.
为什么这很重要:de Zegher本月早些时候表示,公司预期在今年最后两个周末,超级充电网络的使用将增加。
Tesla is now trying to ensure 100% uptime for all of its superchargers while also deploying attendants and Tesla Megapack-powered chargers at its busiest sites. The company will also continue to open new superchargers through the holidays, he said.
特斯拉现在正在努力确保其所有超充站的正常运行时间达到100%,同时在其最繁忙的站点部署工作人员和由特斯拉Megapack供电的充电器。他表示,公司还将继续在假期期间开放新的超充站。
Earlier in December, the company also reduced the price for charging at its supercharger network. The goal behind the move is to price it lower to accelerate EV adoption and be financially sustainable to invest in expanding the network, the director of charging then said.
在十二月早些时候,该公司还降低了其超级充电网络的充电价格。此举的目标是降低价格,以加速新能源汽车的采用,并在财务上可持续以投资扩展网络,当时的董事表示。
Tesla has nearly 30,000 supercharging ports in the U.S. as of date, according to data from the U.S. Department of Energy.
根据美国能源部的数据,截至目前,特斯拉在美国拥有近30,000个超级充电端口。
