Tesla has launched fast electric car charging in Berlin with more cities in target
The trend of getting shifted to battery cars have been spreading gradually across the globe. But, with diesel and petrol cars slowly dropping in sales, it will still take a few years for the battery cars to reach the steady consistent market demand. Using battery cars has a lot of advantages thus reducing the demand for limited petrochemical resources of our world. But, to meet the demand for battery cars, quick charging technologies should be invented and commercialized.
Many electric car charging points have opened recently in cities of America, China, etc. Moreover, these charging points are now spotted in the Google Maps making it easy for the customers to reach quickly. And, adding into the endless efforts of many companies, Tesla launched the fast electric car charging in Berlin yesterday. This will help in boosting the battery car scheme and development attracting more potential buyers and automobile companies.
Tesla new supercharger
According to Reuters, on 10th September 2020, Tesla Inc launched a new fast electric car charging thus contributing to the upcoming industry of electric vehicles. The managers of the company demonstrated this new electric charging for cars in the Berlin campus. The company further mentioned its plan to execute the same in more cities soon. Many buyers take a step back from buying electric vehicles to get rid of the charging inconvenience in the future. But, Tesla is trying its best to eradicate the problem permanently.
With the launch of new supercharging for electric cars, the company is giving access to as many people as possible who right now can’t access such charging. Jeroen van Tilburg, manager of Europe of charging infrastructure at Tesla, said that they are expanding this supercharging network into city centers so that people who don’t have access to home or workplace charging can also experience it. It is a good business strategy by Tesla which shows a high level of commitment towards the existing and potential buyers.
Market in Germany
One of the spokesmen of Tesla said to Reuters that apart from the current launch, the company will open at least another fast-charging site this year. And, this site is planned to develop as the inner city charging site in Germany. There could be more sites opening up soon in this year. Currently, the marketplace focus of Tesla seems exclusively giving its attention to Germany. This is because the German policymakers want to boost the sale of battery cars as soon as possible and as much as possible to cut out the high rate of emissions.
And, to enhance the marketplace, what can be better than creating more demand among people? This is one of the biggest reasons why Tesla is planning to create fast-charging sites as city centers. Peter Altmaier, Economy Minister of Germany has said that they are yet to do a lot in terms of charging infrastructure. He has also said that rolling out of both the public charging points and private charging will be escalated as it has harmed sales in the past.
Improvisation
The software upgrade has been done by Tesla and it is normal for every company to evolve with time and make things better. In response to opening fast-charging sites in the cities, the Tesla spokesman said that it is a bit different from their conventional way of doing things. Tesla generally emphasizes on residential charging, but the need of the hour calls for a quicker option.
About the charging time, the Tesla Model 3 cars can be charged within five minutes by the V3 charger. This allows the cars to run approximately 120 kilometers. The company also further mentioned that relevant software upgrades will be received by the old models of Tesla.
Germany amidst the global pandemic
The new factory of Tesla will start to operate from next year. Amidst the global pandemic, the sales have been hampered by a great extent. Many people have become jobless and the economic condition of every nation has started to worsen. But, with the factory opening in Germany, it will boost the employment rate of the nation as approximately 40,000 people will find new jobs.
