This seems insignificant, but it isn't. If someone said they were buying gas at 10 gallons per minute, you'd immediately recognize that doesn't make any sense. But it's literally the difference between Kw (a rate that electricity is transferred) and kWh (the energy capacity of the electricity that is transferred).Fine, Andrew, 50 cents per kWh. Feel better?
It is explicitly not that. It's the equivalent of saying $3.59 per gallon per hour. It's nonsensical.Too Funny. I am with you, Zapster. The layman will understand if you said 50 cents per kw. Its like like saying $3.59 per gallon.
No one has answered my question of what happens when eventually a Level 3 for AC or DC is actually introduced? People will call it Level 4?Yes... that's probably best. DCFC is going to be known as "level 3" just as EVSEs are going to be commonly known as "chargers." Fighting this is a losing battle that just makes EV fans look like geeky snobs.
Except that it is because now that requires renaming something that's been wrongly named "Level 3" to a new name that people don't know "Level 2.5" and the new value "Level 3" now means something different than the interpretation from before.There are infinite decimal numbers between 2 and 3. I don't think it will be a problem.
It has already been formally adopted by SAE. In the standards documents it's called DCFC Level 2.What will likely happen is that SAE will formally adopt CCS as its Level 3 standard since it is the most widely deployed open standard and has the support of the utility operators.
