Elektroauto Tesla Model S bietet jetzt die Möglichkeit des: "fast battery swaping".
Diese neue Batterie-Tausch-Methode ist um mehr als das Doppelte schneller, als wenn man sein Fahrzeug mit Benzin oder Diesel auftanken würde.
Im Rahmen einer Eventshow zeigte Tesla auf beeindruckende Weise, wie schnell das neue Batterietausch-System funktioniert. Während ein Benzinauto vollgetankt wurde, konnte bei zwei Tesla S Modellen die Batterie getauscht werden.
Im zweiten Video wird das "SUPERCHARGER NETWORK" vorgestellt.
Das Supercharger Network umfasst Kalifornien, die West Küste Nevadas und die Region von Washington DC, bis nach Boston. Insgesamt wird das Network ca. 1 Million Meilen umfassen.
Das Konzept:
Superchargers sind für "Stadt zu Stadt" Reisende ausgelegt, bei denen die Fahrdauer um die 3 Stunden liegt. An einer Supercharg-Station angekommen, wird bei einem Kurzstopp von 20-30 Minuten, ein kleiner Lunch eingenommen oder ein Kaffee getrunken und die Batterie wieder geladen. Alles kostenlos! Dann geht die Reise wieder weiter, für die nächsten 3 Stunden.
The expansion of the network builds upon the success of the Tesla Supercharger network that covers California and Nevada on the west coast and the Washington, DC to Boston region on the east coast. The Tesla Supercharger network has enabled an estimated 1 million miles of driving since going live in October 2012. Superchargers are designed for city to city travel, enabling Model S electric vehicle drivers to travel for about three hours, take a 20 to 30 minute break to grab lunch or a soda or coffee, and get back on the road charged up. For free.
With the accelerated rollout of the Tesla Supercharger network, Model S drivers can expect:
Triple the number of Tesla Supercharger stations by the end of next month, including additional stations in California, coverage of the northwest region from Vancouver to Seattle to Portland, Austin to Dallas in Texas, Illinois and Colorado. There will also be four additional eastern seaboard stations, expanding the density of the network to provide for more convenient stopping points.
Within six months the Tesla Supercharger network will connect most of the major metro areas in the US and Canada, including expansion into Arizona, additional stations in Texas, Florida, and the Midwest, stations connecting Ottawa to Montreal, and across North and South Carolina into Georgia. It will also be possible to travel diagonally across the country from Los Angeles to New York using only the Tesla Supercharger network.
A year from now, the Tesla Supercharger network will stretch across the continent, covering almost the entire population of the US and Canada. The expansion of the network will mean that Model S drivers can take the ultimate road trip -- whether that’s LA to New York, Vancouver to San Diego, or Montreal to Miami – without spending a cent on fuel.
In addition to the expansion of the Tesla Supercharger network itself, Tesla is improving the technology behind the Tesla Supercharger to dramatically decrease the amount of time it takes to charge Model S, cutting charging time in half relative to early trials of the system. The new technology, which is in beta test mode now and will be fully rolled out to customers this summer, will allow Model S to be charged at 120 kW, replenishing three hours of driving in just over 20 minutes.
