In order to prevent charging monsters, a charging limit is coming to electric cars in the USA. The USA’s electric car charging network Electrify America is preparing to limit both the charging time and the charging percentage in order to prevent grievances.
Electric cars will no longer be charged more than 85 percent!
In the news we shared with you the other day, we stated that more than 20 percent of electric car charging units cannot work due to some usage errors. Now, the solution to this problem comes from the famous car charging network of the USA, Electrify America.
As you know, most users do not leave the station without fully charging their vehicles. Batteries, by their nature, charge for a very long time after the 80-85 percent band. This situation increases the number of people waiting in line to charge, and also causes many people to not be able to charge their vehicles. While using an electric car has already become a torture due to connection problems, payment problems, and station reservation problems, battery monsters add salt to this situation.
Electrify America is introducing a charging limit to the most popular charging stations in the country to solve this problem. Now, users who plug in their vehicles in California will not be able to charge their vehicles more than 85 percent. The system will cut off the electricity when the specified charge rate is reached. If the user who charges their vehicle reaches 85 percent charge and does not disconnect the charger, they will pay 40 cents for every minute the station leaves idle.
This solution, which is currently implemented in one state in the USA, is actually needed by the whole world. Even this solution from the station manufacturer could greatly benefit the decreasing sales of electric cars due to charging time and range problems. Electrify America, which recommends that those who want to fully charge their vehicles should not occupy public stations, we can say that it has found a solution like a remedy for its users with both the charging limit and the station idle fee. What do you think of this new solution implemented in the USA?
