Ford’s new cable design is 4.6 times faster than Tesla’s Supercharger, Mercedes' EQS reach

Ford’s new cable design is 4.6 times faster than Tesla’s Supercharger, Mercedes' EQS reached 441 miles in a range test, beating Tesla Model S Nov 17, 2021 # Together with [Refind]( Good morning and welcome to the official launch of our referral program, where you’ll win points and cash in for gifts every time you refer The Blueprint to friends. All you need to do is scroll to the bottom of our newsletter, click the link, and share. It’s that simple. Spread the news! Here are today’s hits: Ford has developed a new cable design that can fully recharge EVs in less than five minutes. Impressive, but not as eye-opening as a $1.5-billion solar farm under construction in the United States. Not one to be shown up, Mercedes-Benz's 2022 EQS 450+ has reached 422 miles (679 km) on a single charge, surpassing Tesla’s Model S. This is The Blueprint. Read on. INNOVATION [Ford’s New Cable Design Is 4.6 Times Faster than Tesla’s Supercharger]( [Reaching full charge in under five minutes.]( The signs of upcoming gas stations are a familiar sight: You can easily access gas anywhere and fill your tank in five minutes. While the story is a little different for EVs, that may not be the case for long. - Ford and Purdue University [have developed a novel charging cable]( that is 4.6 times faster than Tesla’s Supercharger, which takes 20 minutes to fully charge with a direct current. The new cable could fully recharge certain electric vehicles in under five minutes — which is roughly the time it takes to fill up a gas tank. Bottom line. The charging times of electric vehicles and the heat produced during charging are intertwined issues, where resolving one exacerbates the other. Charging at higher speeds requires a larger electric current, which generates more heat, so to keep the chargers working fast, we need to remove the excess heat. To remedy the issue, a team of Purdue University researchers created a patent-pending cable that employs an alternative cooling mechanism to remove up to 24.22 kilowatts of heat. - Their prototype mimics all the traits of a real-world charging station: It has a pump, a tube the same diameter as an actual charging cable, the same controls and instrumentation, and the same flow rates and temperatures. Though the prototype hasn’t been tested on EVs yet, the researchers showed in the lab that it can handle a current of more than 2,400 amps, considerably exceeding the 1,400-ampere minimum required to cut charging periods for EVs to five minutes. Slide in the context, the best chargers today can only deliver currents of up to 520 amps, and most chargers available to consumers only deliver currents below 150 amps. - How? The researchers used liquid-to-vapor cooling, where liquid changes into vapor as it heats up, enhancing its ability to remove large amounts of heat. The researchers hope to collaborate with EV or charging cable producers to test the prototype on EVs over the next two years, ascertaining further details on charge speeds for specific kinds of EVs and [potentially eliminating range anxiety for good](. There's still a lot more work to be done, but the cable could help overcome one of the last significant roadblocks to the broad acceptance of electric vehicles.

Much of the land is smothered in forests and marshes, which will remain the case. The new solar farm will span two northern Indiana counties, and the project will have a total cost of approximately $1.5 billion. - Solar capital of Indiana. The Mammoth Solar farm will be built across Starke and Pulaski counties' lines, with the initial construction site positioned in a rural area roughly 50 miles (80 km) southwest of South Bend. The construction project will create 500 jobs, and the finished, fully operational solar farm will create at least 50 new, full-time jobs. The project will be completed in three phases. The company broke ground on the first phase in October, and, if all goes well, the entire solar farm should go live by 2024. The farm will become partially operational by mid-2023, and it will initially generate 400 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 75,000 households. When the project is done, Mammoth Solar farm’s 2.85 million solar panels will generate a total of 1.65 gigawatts of electricity. - Points of reference. As of writing, the world's largest solar panel farm is [the 2.245-GW Bhadla Solar Park in India]( at 5,700 hectares (14,000 acres). However, Australian firm Sun Cable is building a massive infrastructure project, spanning roughly 12,000 hectares (29,652 acres), which will send power to Singapore via undersea cable. Feel the solar boom. With [the IPCC's latest alarming report]( on climate change preceding the COP26 conference this month, we’re likely to see more large renewable infrastructure projects receive the green light. This means the title of “world's largest solar farm” will change hands several times in the coming years. [Read More]( SPONSORED The thirst to learn new things keeps us going forward.

INNOVATION [Mercedes' EQS Reached 441 Miles In a Range Test, Beating Tesla Model S]( [The EQS.]( Mercedes-Benz is launching a series of high-end electric SUVs and sedans to take on Tesla, and early tests of its new flagship electric car, the EQS, suggest it could easily compete with Elon Musk's $1-trillion company. - Reality check. [Mercedes-Benz's test proved that its 2022 EQS 450+]( could travel 422 miles (679 km) on a single charge. The results of this real-world range test mean Mercedes' $102,000 electric sedan has a superior range to Tesla's Model S Long Range Plus, which has an EPA-rated range of 412 miles (663 km). The normal Tesla Model S, on the other hand, has a range of 405 miles (652 km). The EQS 450+, which features a 107.8-kWh lithium-ion battery, "[blasted] past its EPA-estimated range of 350 miles," said Edmunds, an independent ratings, reviews, and pricing firm, in a statement, making it "Edmunds' new real-world EV range leader by 77 miles." - Trial by fire. Edmunds tests EVs by driving them in a fixed loop while set at the most efficient settings. The driver keeps going until the vehicle shows it has zero miles of battery life remaining. Meanwhile, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) rating is calculated with a device called a dynamometer, with no road and the wheels fixed in place so the motor and transmission can freely move the wheels until it exhausts the battery. Tesla’s growing list of rivals. The Tesla Model 3 Long Range was Edmunds' previous real-world test leader, while the Tesla Model S Long Range Plus has yet to be evaluated. But while most EVs Edmunds tests outperform their EPA rating, every Tesla it’s tested has failed to meet the EPA rating. Interesting. And now the EQS has seized the crown. The usurper reigns. Though the EQS is Edmunds' new leader, Lucid Motors' Lucid Air has the longest range of any electric vehicle ever recorded, at 520 miles (837 km). Tesla does hope, however, that [its new 4,680-type battery cell]( in development with Panasonic, will give its vehicles a significant 16-percent range boost, meaning it has a shot at reclaiming its status as leader of the pack.
