Kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukushaja imoto kagesi?

Ukushaja i-Nissan Leaf ukusuka kuqanda kuye kugcwale kungathatha amahora angama-24 usebenzisa amandla ajwayelekile ekhaya lakho.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ungubani noma ukuthi uhlalaphi, umbuzo wokuqala noma ubani osezocwila emanzini afakwe ugesi wokuba nemoto esebenza ngogesi uhlezi ufana; kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukushaja imoto kagesi? (Okulandelayo, Tesla, ngiyacela?)

Ngiyesaba ukuthi impendulo iyinkimbinkimbi, njengoba incike emotweni kanye nengqalasizinda yokushaja, kodwa impendulo emfushane ithi; hhayi isikhathi eside njengoba ungase ucabange, futhi leyo nombolo yehla ngaso sonke isikhathi. Futhi, njengoba abantu abaningi bevame ukucabanga, akunakwenzeka ukuthi uzoyikhokhisa nsuku zonke, kodwa leyo enye indaba.

Indlela elula yokuchaza konke lokhu ukufunda lezi zakhi ezimbili - hlobo luni lwemoto onayo nokuthi hlobo luni lwesiteshi sokushaja ozosisebenzisa - ngokuhlukana, ukuze wonke amaqiniso atholakale kalula.

Hlobo luni lwemoto onalo?

Kunedlanzana kuphela lezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi ezithengiswayo njengamanje e-Australia, okuhlanganisa nemikhiqizo evela kwaTesla, Nissan, BMW, Renault, Jaguar and Hyundai. Yize lesi sibalo sizokhula ngokufika kwama-Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Kia nezinye, ingcindezi yezepolitiki izokhula ukuze kwandiswe isibalo sezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi emigwaqeni yethu.

Ngayinye yalezi zinhlobo ibala izikhathi zokushaja ezihlukene (ikakhulukazi kuncike kusayizi wamaphakethe ebhethri emoto ngayinye).

AbakwaNissan bathi kungathatha amahora angu-24 ukushaja iLeaf lakho lisuke kuqanda ligcwale usebenzisa amandla ajwayelekile endlini yakho, kodwa uma utshala imali eshaja yasekhaya engu-7kW, isikhathi sokushajwa kabusha siyehla sifinyelele emahoreni angu-7.5. Uma usebenzisa ishaja esheshayo, ungashaja ibhethri lakho ukusuka kumaphesenti angama-20 ukuya kumaphesenti angama-80 cishe ngehora. Kodwa sizobuyela ezinhlotsheni zeshaja maduzane.

Bese kuba khona uTesla; uhlobo olwenze izimoto zikagesi zipholile zilinganisa isikhathi sokushaja esikalini sebanga ngehora. Ngakho-ke kuModel 3, uzothola ibanga elingamamayela angu-48 ihora ngalinye lokushaja imoto yakho exhunywe kulo ekhaya. Ibhokisi lodonga le-Tesla noma i-blower ephathekayo izonciphisa leso sikhathi kakhulu.

Hlangana neJaguar ne-i-Pace SUV yayo. Umkhiqizo waseBrithani (umkhiqizo wokuqala weprimiyamu wendabuko wokwenza imoto kagesi ifike kumaki) ufuna isivinini sokushajwa kabusha esingu-11 km ngehora usebenzisa amandla asekhaya. Izindaba ezimbi? Lokho cishe amahora angama-43 ukuze ukhokhiswe ngokugcwele, okubonakala kungenakwenzeka ngendlela emangalisayo. Ukufaka ishaja yasekhaya ezinikele (abanikazi abaningi abazoba nayo) kwenyusa lesi sibalo sibe ngu-35 km ngehora.

Ekugcineni, sizobheka iHyundai Kona Electric esanda kukhishwa. Umkhiqizo uthi kuthatha amahora ayisishiyagalolunye nemizuzu engama-80 ukusuka ku-zero ukuya kumaphesenti angama-35 ngebhokisi lodonga lwasekhaya, noma imizuzu engama-75 enesiteshi sokushaja esisheshayo. Uxhumeke kugridi yamandla ekhaya? Kuzothatha amahora angu-28 ukushaja ibhethri ngokugcwele.

Amabhethri ahlala isikhathi esingakanani emotweni kagesi? Iqiniso elidabukisayo liwukuthi baqala ukululaza, nakuba kancane, kusukela ekushajeni kokuqala, kodwa abakhiqizi abaningi banikeza iwaranti yebhethri yeminyaka eyisishiyagalombili uma kukhona okungahambi kahle.

Iyiphi ishaja yemoto kagesi oyisebenzisayo?

Ah, lena yingxenye ebaluleke ngempela, njengoba uhlobo lweshaja oyisebenzisayo ukunika amandla i-EV yakho lunganciphisa isikhathi sakho sohambo sibe ingxenye encane yalokho obungakusebenzisa ukube ubushaja ngamapayipi amakhulu.

Nakuba kuyiqiniso ukuthi abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi bazoshaja imoto yabo ekhaya ngokumane bayixhume lapho befika ekhaya bevela emsebenzini, empeleni kuyindlela ehamba kancane yokumpompa amabhethri.

Enye indlela ejwayeleke kakhulu ukutshala imali kungqalasizinda yendlu "yebhokisi lodonga", noma ngabe ivela kumkhiqizi uqobo noma ngomhlinzeki wemakethe yangemuva efana ne-Jet Charge, ethuthukisa ukugeleza okusheshayo kwamandla emotweni, ngokuvamile afinyelela ku-7.5kW.

Isixazululo esaziwa kakhulu iTesla wall box, engakhuphula amandla aphumayo abe ngu-19.2kW - anele ukushaja iModel 71 engu-3km ne-55km ngehora elingu-48km ngehora.

Kodwa njengemoto yenjini evuthayo, usengakwazi ukushajwa kabusha emgwaqeni, futhi uma wenza kanjalo, awufuni ukuchitha isikhathi esiningi sosuku unamathisele embotsheni kagesi. Bese ufaka iziteshi zokushaja ngokushesha, eziklanyelwe ngokukhethekile ukukuyisa emgwaqweni ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka usebenzisa amandla agelezayo angu-50 noma angu-100 kW.

Futhi, adume kakhulu kulawa ama-supercharger akwaTesla, aqale ukwethulwa kancane kancane emigwaqweni enguthelawayeka nasemadolobheni asogwini olusempumalanga ye-Australia, futhi ashaja ibhethri lakho libe ngamaphesenti angama-80 emizuzwini engaba ngu-30. Zake zaba (ngokumangalisayo) ukuthi zingasetshenziswa, kodwa lokho kuzohlala isikhathi eside kakhulu.

Kukhona ezinye izinketho, kunjalo. Ikakhulukazi, i-NRMA isiqalile ukukhipha inethiwekhi yamahhala yeziteshi zokushaja ngokushesha ezingama-40 kulo lonke elase-Australia. Noma i-Chargefox, esemkhankasweni wokufaka iziteshi zokushaja “ezedlula ngokushesha” e-Australia, ithembisa amandla angu-150 kuya ku-350 kW anganikeza cishe u-400 km wokushayela ngemizuzu engu-15.

IPorsche ihlela nokwethula amashaja ayo emhlabeni jikelele, abizwa ngobuhlakani ngokuthi ama-turbocharger.
