Hi Kris, the Øresund connection is total 15,9 km long, and the Storebælt connection is total 17 km long :) But if only measuring the main bridge, then the Øresund bridge is about 1 km. longer than Storebælt. Storebælt opened about 2 years before Øresund (1998/2000)

I think you need to to a proper experiment with these connectors. It is easy to suffer from confirmation bias. Make a contraption to apply pressure consistently then try to start ~40 charging sessions. 20 with pressure applied and 20 without, and see if there is a statistical significant difference in the number of failed sessions

It's funny from a Danish perspective the Storebælt bridge is gigantic in comparison. Øresundsforbindelsen is 2 km shorter than Storebæltsforbindelsen (18 km). So for a person like me living on the Zealand (Sjælland) island - Øresund is the smaller crossing. Lillebælt which is the third bridge is a fairly short crossing though it is correctly connecting the western Europe northern peninsula (Jylland) to Scandinavia. The main span of the Storebælt bridge is more than 3 times longer than Øresund - namely 1624 meter versus 490 meter. Try crossing in windy conditions you will see that Storebælt is a whole different beast 😉

Nice video, thanks. Regarding the charging in Helsingborg: do the HPC's get their current straight from the net or is there a battery storage involved? I'm guessing that if there was a battery involved (hidden somewhere in a container or small housing) it might have been drained by the 4 cars fast charging..

Hi, I’ve noticed that the navigation software wants you to arrive at a charging station with 20+% of battery. Can’t you change that to 10 or 5% like on ABRP?

I think the reason that you have to push the connector in at beginning to make it start charging is not a communication problem. CCS requires constant communication while charging since the car tells the charger how many amps it wants, thats why you can also see soc on the chargers screen. The heavy cable probaly pulls on the connector and prevents it from locking due to tight tolerances. Anway thats my guess.
@ReelyRacing
3 жыл бұрын
if you look at the CCS connector you will see that there is a hole on top of it, thats where the locking pin goes, hence you have to apply pressure to the top.
@KrisRifa
3 жыл бұрын
Handshake happens through the top connectors (CCS port). Different cars have different tolerance for errors in the protocol. The larger the the gap (because how the connectors are designed and wear, as well as the weight of the cable pulling on the connector) the larger the error in communication. It is correct that all other communication happens through the 3-fase port. Water cooled cables are heavier and therefor pull more on the connector and will fail more frequently, I see this every day. This is what has been explained to me buy engineers who work with these chargers, as well from the automakers 😊
@sbrubak
3 жыл бұрын
@@KrisRifa , SMNPHT is right that comminication on the CP pin must work continiously. It is in fact safety critical for this to work throughout the charging session as the car will command voltage from the DCFC and if too high voltage is commanded it can result in catastrophic failure of the battery (I.e. a fire). So any interruption of communication during charging will result in a failed charging session as doing anything else would be incredibly dangerous. Hence we are missing a good explanation on why added pressure on the connector during the pre-charging phase when added pressure during charging does not appear to matter. A failure to engage the mechanical cable lock can certainly be that explanation, but this should be explored.
@KrisRifa
3 жыл бұрын
@@sbrubak there is no missing explanation, I just explained why the top pins have to be in close contact while handshake. It’s not more complicated, and once the pins are locked you can usually tug on the connector without it stopping to fail 👍 Different cars have different tolerances in the protocol.
@sbrubak

@@KrisRifa , I seem not to have been clear. We know that a charging session cannot continue without constant communication. Applying pressure only during the start of a session cannot affect communication during the session. The locking pin does to my knowledge not apply any inwards pressure on the connector it just prevents the connector to be removed. So there are two things to establish: Does in fact in a statistically significant way the act of applying pressure to the connector during the start of charging prevent aborted initializations? And if so what is the root cause. I find a failure of the locking pin to engage to be more likely than communication failure as even the PP pin (which would be the first to disconnect) is ~10mm long. Even if the pins do not mate fully, that is an awful lot of gap needed before the pin would disengage. For an end user it might not matter all that much what the root cause of the potential problem is, but establishing it is useful to give feedback to manufacturers. Als if we establish that it is the locking pin engagement which is the problem then an user can learn to wait for the sound of the locking pin which might happen earlier.
