BREAKING PSA: CHARGING COMPANIES TEMPORARILY SWITCH OFF 150KW, 350KW ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING STATIONS!

EV Channels Review

This video provides a critical, albeit brief, update on a significant disruption within the electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Electrify America, a major charging provider, has temporarily deactivated its 150kW and 350kW charging stations due to a potential safety issue identified with liquid-cooled cables supplied by HUBER+SUHNER. The reviewer emphasizes that this is a global issue affecting non-Tesla charging stations and advises EV drivers, particularly those with CCS-equipped vehicles, to verify station availability and have backup plans for long-distance travel. While acknowledging the inconvenience, the reviewer commends Electrify America's precautionary shutdown for prioritizing customer safety. The video also touches upon the technical challenges of high-power charging cables, including their length and cooling requirements, and speculates on Tesla's potential role in supplying more reliable hardware.
