Auto manufacturers are entering an arms race of electrification, hawking concept EVs with increasingly luxurious cabins, self-driving driving assistance features, and gargantuan batteries capable of unnecessarily long driving distances. These defining features help brands stand out in a sea of compact crossover EVs, but one thing is common between them: the public charging experience sucks. At the Consumer Electronics Show 2023, some manufacturers announced plans to change that.
Schäfer says the Mercedes-Brand said the company needs to deliver more than just power; it will have to offer an elevated experience. But not every detail has been finalized in this new product, and the company’s network developers are exploring a range of solutions to enforce reservations, including physical barriers to prevent people from entering a booked charging space and imposing high idle fees to ensure cars vacate the space in time for the next reservation.Stellantis is also creating a charging station network, but it grapples with an additional problem: rural America–where many full-size truck buyers dwell.
Edge EV builds equipment that sits between a power meter and a DC fast charging station, and converts single-phase power coming out of the meter into three-phase power for fast-charging stations. This new product means a dealership may be able to save money if it chooses to sell EVs. Compared to what Mercedes-Benz has in its sights, Stellantis and Edge's plans just isn’t as brand-defining a move.
We have 1 Tesla charger ~ 50 miles away and 2 ~ 100-120 miles away! Not great by any means...
