Don't Let Low Voltage Slow You Down
480/240vac
The optimal voltage to power charging equipment is 480vac three phase for Level 3 and 240vac single phase for Level 2; however, these voltage levels are not inherent to the distribution grid together.
Energy is delivered to single family homes at 240vac whereas commercial and industrial environment transformers commonly support either 480/277 or 208/120. As a result, the majority of Level 2 chargers outside the home are installed with 208vac incoming current and it can be difficult to place 50kW+ chargers in retail centers and conventional fueling stations without new 480vac service.
208vac is suboptimal for Level 2 charging as it robs the on board charger (OBC) of 15% its potential efficiency. This means the 80-amp (19.2kW) acceptance rates of the new Ford Lightning, Chevy Silverado and Lucid Air are all reduced to 16.4kW; the 48-amp (11.5kW) acceptance rates of the new Ford Mustang Mach-E, Rivian R1T and Tesla Models S, 3lr, X and Ylr are all reduced to 10kW; and the Jaguar I-Pace will trickle charge a 90kWh battery on only 6.6kW.
Moreover, you may one day look down at your dashboard and see your 90kWh battery-equipped pickup or SUV gingerly sipping only 3kW at 208vac from the most commonly sold Level 2 charger with power share. You will find yourself back on the road in 24 hours.
