Progress - of a sort - fast charging at race tracks…

[daveo4EV]

interesting “trend” - there is now a 16 stall Tesla supercharger install going on at Buttonwillow Raceway in California (construction in progress so we’re beyond permit stage) & an 8 stall Tesla Supercharger in permit stage for Laguna Seca, CA…now we all know this doesn’t help the Taycan “yet” - but this is a good sign that this sort of infrastructure is making it’s way to recreational use…

if Tesla opens up superchargers - well I’m not holding my breath

once they have the big infrastructure in place for Tesla Superchargers then perhaps other CCS based fast charging will be easier…

interesting

CCS may take a while because the Taycan is the only “track worthy” EV other than the Model 3 - and I use ‘track worthy’ relatively to other EV’s vs. gas cars we’ve still got a longs ways to go - but you can rally a Taycan or Model 3 (and potentially a plaid) for a day at the track - at track fast charging will make it almost normal and you should be able to do all 4-6 20-30 min sessions if you can fast charge between sessions.

Amen. Weight has to go down. Next gen / solid state batt will help with that.

I heard if tesla would open supercharges, it would be to gain access to tax incentives. Does anyone know of this is related to the proposed infrastructure bill?
