Seems a little to marketing for the Charging category. But quite cool.

Perhaps having that follow you around is a solution to the Electrify America issues?

That picture cracks me up. So very carefully arranged white and blue cars at the charger, and red and green cars on the track. And the extra white car on the end so you can see a whole car from the front.

At 4 hours a charge, I don't think track folks will be using it.

Yes I was going to mention the 4hr statement also. Strange, it states 3.2mW to support all cars taking full speed charge and 4hr fill up. I think that they may just automatically show down after 20-30min or something like that to keep cars going through?

I will say, however, that that truck freaks me out as a device. That is a LOT of batteries in a pecuilar configuration delivering a LOT of amps/volts.

Here is Bjørn Nyland's (aka Tesla Bjørn) review of the Porsche charging trailer. He even gets to charge his Tesla on it. Porsche is quite generous. Maybe he'll stop whining about them.

Here is the capacity tag from the trailer.

Can be maintained with up to 500KW of juice to but appears to be a European unit only as it requires 50 Hz. Probably pretty heavy, actually 32 (I assume) metric tons. This is 70,000lbs which is very close to the maximum in the US of 80,000 lb with the truck cab. But has stated the trailer is configurable to fewer ports and batteries.

I was impressed to find out that Porsche has been working with ADS-TEC (maker of the changing trailer) for over 3 years. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, they have been preparing for the Taycan for a long time.

It is going to be a 15 million Euro option for mid-2021 ... Just need a solar power or wind turbine farm, perhaps a mini-nuclear power plant also compatible.

4 hours for the TRUCK to fill up.

I was thinking another positive thing is that it would be very feasible for an EV cab to pull this trailer with just a small tax.

Where can I buy this! Lol
