Keep working that buggy whip!!!!!
I don't take it that way
Seems something quite reasonable to be curious about: how one plans on connecting that amount of power to the vehicle in a way designed for the average dock hand to not kill himself. And how that system is going to look on the docks, and how that is going to connect to the grid.
The problem with the "we'll all be riding unicorns because Mush told is so" brigade is that as we see in this thread, even if they ARE in the industry, as SHOZ claims to be, they'll suck up the Koolaid as a "future speed bump".
If anyone in this thread is qualified to give us the slightest hint as to how we run a 2MW low voltage extension lead safely, it's the one providing the least information, just "trust Musk".
Industry electricity bills aren't like yours and mine...they have different components such as peak VA imports over and above straight volume.
Adding 2-10MW (I don't know how many trucks will be charging at WM at any given time) over and above is going to cost...the business and the infrastructure.
Electric Forklifts AREN'T advertising 500 miles, 80,000lb, at 65MPH are they ?
24V, 1380AH is 33KWh, NOT 1.2MWh
But the Unicorn brigade would declare equivalence to make legitimate concerns appear alarmist and unfounded...while pouring used engine oil on the ground and declaring is Asphalt equivalence, and suicide plugged solar as responsible.
