"We see an opportunity for doing automated charging in the future. It's something we're working on with the cars. You drive over [a pad]."
"On a 1,200 kW cable connection, the Semi can add 300 miles of range in 30 minutes, or 60% of its total 500-mile range."
"Conductive charging refers to wired charging, whereas inductive charging refers to wireless charging. We don't know if it's a charging pad kind of situation."
Tesla is working on an automated charging system for its Semi electric truck, which can charge at 1.2 megawatts through a liquid-cooled cable. Executives Dan Priestly and Franz von Holzhausen discussed this development in a video with Jay Leno. The automated system aims to ease the charging process for drivers and fleet managers. While conductive charging is currently in use, there are considerations for inductive charging solutions for longer rest stops. The Semi can add 300 miles of range in 30 minutes with its current charging capabilities.
