1/ Have you ever wondered how an electric vehicle (EV) charge curve works, why charge curves are so variable between EV's, or why EV's throttle power?

Lets deep dive into the physics and answer your EV questions.

What is an EV charge curve?

The charge curve of an EV typically shows how the battery charges over time. As the battery charges, the charging speed gradually decreases until it reaches its full capacity.

1/ Did you know that the average EV driver fills up with less then a gallon of gas of energy each trip to a EV fast charging station? Think about that!

Let's explore what is behind this & the implication for the future of car refill

Buckle up drivers for an Electric Thread 🧵⚡️ 2/ According to publicly available data from @ElectrifyAm, the average amount of energy an EV driver fills up with at fast charging stations is only 33kWh per trip.

At an efficiency of 4 miles per kWh, that's around 132 miles of range per session.

1/ Let's talk about one of the most important factors in the world of EV charging: pricing!

Fast charging stations from Electric Era, @ChargePointnet, @BlinkCharging, @ElectrifyAm, @Tesla, @evgonetwork can have vastly $/kWh.

Buckle up EV drivers for another Electric Thread 🧵⚡️ 2/ Let's take a look at the cost of charging 33 kWh of electricity from each of these networks.

@ChargePointnet's pricing varies depending on the station, but typically is ~$0.45/kWh.

So, a 33 kWh charge should cost roughly $15
