I’ve spent 10+ years inside the automotive industry, 6 in combustion engines, 4 in eMobility. 🚗⚡

From factories to charging sites, I’ve seen the shift up close.

This account is where I break it all down.
🧵 What you’ll find here:

@AndreasMemmer @BootinBull @bumselom Ja. Zu viel oder zu wenig? 😅

[Syed Haseeb Hassan @etechvolution]

@AndreasMemmer @BootinBull @bumselom Ich finde die Anzeige nicht mehr. Ich glaub es war für 8000 € verfügbar. Ein Efacec Anzeige habe ich schon gesehen.

@electricfelix @RoamingNorway I think the HYC1000 rollout has now picked up pace 😄

[Syed Haseeb Hassan @etechvolution]

@electricfelix Got the confirmation: It was Plugit HUBE.
360 kW Powerunit - capable to support 4 charging points. 1 charge post, with 2 cables, rated at 180 kW each. They discontinued it for over an year I guess, and hence we see Ekoenergetyka, Kempower and Alpitronic there.

The Nordics are a breath of fresh air when it comes to EV charger variety. So many types and brands installed there. This one? No idea. 😅

Does anyone know who makes this charger? I am really interested if it is a current charger or a legacy one?

@bumselom @AndreasMemmer @BootinBull Oh Je 😅
Vor kurzem habe ich gesehen, SYNFIS hat bei Ebay gepostet.

[Syed Haseeb Hassan @etechvolution]

@novenoX @bumselom Ja - ab 20:00 bei mir in Karlsruhe wird auch Offline. Ich habe direkt bei LIDL Personal zuständig für Ladeinfrastruktur Rollout gefragt und der meinte, dass es von LIDL gewünscht ist. Weil dies Standort nicht denen gehört und die folgen regeln vom Eigentümer/Vermieter.

[Syed Haseeb Hassan @etechvolution]

@bumselom Welchen Standort ist dies? Ich habe bisher bei LIDL In DE meistens 60 kW ABB gesehen und 50 von Circontrol Raption oder bei eine auch ABB C50 (50 kW neue generation)

[Syed Haseeb Hassan @etechvolution]

@AndreasMemmer @BootinBull @bumselom was passiert mit alten? Verkauft ihr dies als gebraucht im Markt selber oder nimmt ABB dies zurück?

Quiz for EV chaging experts: Last year we all saw the pics of Finland's 1st MCS at Plugit. What will be installed at the back here? I have marked in red 😄

Current installation: 2x Alpitronic HYC 1000 power units + 4x MCS+CCS Dispenser

[Syed Haseeb Hassan @etechvolution]

@electricfelix Wow - I have been sleeping on Plugit then for a long time then 😅
They are similar to the TELD, but in EU. Charger manufacturer and operator.

[Syed Haseeb Hassan @etechvolution]

@electricfelix You come up with the most amazing pics 😄 👏
I still cannot recognize - it is really unique and I found it so far only in Nordics. 😅

[Syed Haseeb Hassan @etechvolution]

@RenaldyApreza These prices are absolutely crazy 😅

[Syed Haseeb Hassan @etechvolution]

Slow AC charging in China: cheaper, same or expensive than fast charging?
What do you think? Take a guess.

Three options: 😄
- Cheaper
- More expensive
- Same

These are from Shenzhen, and finding them was extremely difficult.

To my surprise, DC chargers were much easier to find. Not always “fast” either: I saw plenty of 30 kW and 60 kW DC units too.

But I’m curious what you think 😄

[Syed Haseeb Hassan @etechvolution]

Amazing transformation: Gas Station to EV charging site. What could make it better? 🤔
Probably an Alpitronic HYC 1000 with CCS/MCS for truck charging here. 😄

@ChinaEV_Eng_Lif I saw at 1.92 and it was dynamic 😅

[Syed Haseeb Hassan @etechvolution]

@electricfelix @TXL_EV thanks a lot for sharing this Felix. Looks an awesome journey ⚡️ 👏

[Syed Haseeb Hassan @etechvolution]

I came across this charger and honestly can't identify it. If you have seen it before or know the manufacturer / model, I would really appreciate your feedback / help here. 😄 🙏

CPO: Electra
Charger: 24 kW DC, possibly with a Type 2 socket as well (not sure on this)

@TXL_EV Absolutely - 14 years ago, 50 kW was today's MW charging and EVs have evolved a lot, so indeed they are outdated and I am really glad to hear about their reliability 👏
