480 is “400V” - 400V is an abbreviation - you’d need 650 or 700V to “trigger” 800V chargingHello,
I had initially added in the option for the 400 volt dc 150 kw option, butresearching this for Nort America, I happened to know a couple of facts
1) literally all dc chargers in NA are above 400 volts. Tesla superchargers are at 480 volts.
2) 400 volt dc chargers are in Europe and they are in minority.
If interested have a look the video before especially at 12:31
Hope that helps
I’ve pulled into several “800V” stations and gotten a 400V session negotiated by the car & the station and then charged at more than 50 kW
so I’d still suggest this option is better than not having it cause you never know when/where/how you will or won’t get 800V session
also you’ll definately need this for any future supercharger compatibility above 50 kW (_IF_ the adapter allows for more than 50 kW)
