Everything Tesla Revealed During Its SEMI Truck Delivery Event | Carscoops carscoops
Helping it on the final leg of the trip were the regenerative brakes that use the vehicle’s motion to recharge the batteries. Tesla’s senior manager for truck engineering, Dan Priestly, said that this function may actually be a safety benefit because drivers won’t have to downshift, and may not have to even touch the brakes as they descend hills. Might be nice for people who live by the highway, too.
The technology is important for bigger applications like the Semi, according to Priestly, and requires some very technical engineering to do safely. According to the executive, though, a water-cooling system in the charger will allow the cable that delivers the power to remain small and maneuverable.
“You’re actually immersing the conductor in the coolant—this water-based coolant that we have, and we’re done doing some really neat isolation monitoring on the back end to ensure that it’s safe and delivering what it needs to,” said Priestly. “But it means that we can really shove a lot of current in a very, very small place.
That small size means that, not only will megawatt charging be available at truck stops, it will also be available at regular Superchargers. And that will be useful, because according to CEO Elon Musk, the Cybertruck will be capable of charging at megawatt speeds.
