Tesla Engineer Says Enabling Cybertruck Owners To Use Power Outlets Onboard When Supercharging Will Be Difficult: Here's Why
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) engineer Wes Morrill took to X on Sunday to explain to Cybertruck owners why they can't use the power outlets on the vehicle while they are supercharging, and it seems like an issue that cannot be fixed easily.
特斯拉公司(納斯達克:TSLA)工程師韋斯·莫里爾(Wes Morrill)在週日表示,Cybertruck車主們爲什麼在車輛正在進行超級充電時無法使用電源插座,似乎是一個不容易解決的問題。
What Happened: "The AC/DC converter used to take grid AC and convert it to DC to charge the HV battery is the same hardware used to generate the AC grid you use for your onboard power," Morrill wrote on X.
發生了什麼:「用於將電網交流轉換爲直流以充電HV電池的交流/直流變換器與您用於車載電源的交流電網生成硬件相同,」 莫里爾在X上寫道。
When supercharging, DC voltage is being put directly into the vehicle battery, placing the power converter hardware at a standstill and not allowing the driver to use the power outlets.
當進行超級充電時,直流電壓直接輸送至車輛電池,導致電源轉換器硬件處於停滯狀態,駕駛員無法使用電源插座。
While it is possible to resolve this, the fix will take "time to develop," the Cybertruck lead engineer added.
儘管有可能解決這個問題,但Cybertruck首席工程師表示,解決方案需要「時間來開發」。
The AC/DC converter used to take grid AC and convert it to DC to charge the HV battery is the same hardware used to generate the AC grid you use for your on board power. There are several powerstages in the AC/DC converter, so it may be possible to use one to charge at a limited...

Responding to another user who wondered why this wasn't considered during the vehicle's development, Morill said, "If you are charging with AC power, you likely can plug whatever needs power into the same grid supplying power for the truck. It's a pretty small use case to need to AC charge and simultaneously grid form with the truck."
對於另一位好奇爲什麼在車輛開發期間沒有考慮到這一點的用戶,莫里爾表示:「如果您正在使用交流電源充電,您可能可以將需要電力的任何設備插入爲卡車供電的相同電網中。需要同時進行交流充電和卡車供電的用例要求非常少。」

Why It Matters: The Cybertruck has multiple outlets to charge phones or tools in the front seat, back seat, and truck bed. The 120V/240V outlets in the truck bed, Tesla says, can also enable the Cybertruck to charge another EV or operate tools.
爲什麼重要:Cybertruck在前座、後座和車廂都有多個插座可供充電手機或工具。特斯拉稱,車廂內的120V/240V插座還可以供Cybertruck充電另一輛電動車或使用工具。
Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck in November 2023 and is currently ramping up production with the aim of delivering 250,000 units per year starting in 2025. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has previously said that production, and not demand, is the biggest hurdle in ramping up Cybertruck deliveries.
特斯拉從2023年11月開始交付Cybertruck,並計劃從2025年開始每年交付25萬台。特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克此前曾表示,生產而不是需求是擴大Cybertruck交付的最大障礙。
According to Kelley Blue Book estimates, Tesla sold 8,755 Cybertrucks in the second quarter in the U.S., and 2,803 in the first quarter.
根據凱利藍皮書的估計,特斯拉在美國第二季度銷售了8,755輛Cybertruck,在第一季度銷售了2,803輛。
