Could you coordinate and pick this up with Marco (<a href="mailto:marcomoeller@gmail.com">marcomoeller@gmail.com</a>)?<br></div><div><br></div><div>=====<br></div><div><br></div><div>Hi MCH,<br></div><div> <br></div><div>we are currently starting a new very broad open source (MIT) car
charging station software stack, and would love to have some offering by
our team to charge cars of MCH visitors and to have fun with devices.
In the call for participation form this is not really fitting, and I
guess waiting for the villages registration might be a bit late, since
we have some requirements on energy and accessability, etc....<br></div><div>To whom do you think we should talk to get this idea booster? We
also have a startup around this, and would be happy to sponsor things
around this installation...<br></div><div> <br></div><div>cheers<br></div><div>-marco<br></div><div><br></div><div>=====<br></div><div><br></div><div>Hi Marco,<br></div><div><br></div><div>That sounds really cool! It
might be a bit complicated in terms of logistics, as we can't allow cars
on the fields and power distribution is already a puzzle. Good thing we
love puzzles! :D<br></div><div><br></div><div>Can you share a bit more about what you'd need in terms of energy and accessability?<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Arnout<br></div><div><br></div><div>======<br></div><div><br></div><div>Hi Arnout,<br></div><div> <br></div><div>I was a participant at the SHA17 and CCC19, so I know what you are talking about :-/<br></div><div>I guess it would be great if we can have a small meeting about it?
Maybe you and some of your folks regarding power and location?<br></div><div> <br></div><div>ONE idea I roughly had in mind: last time you had allowed RVs
(campers) to park their vehicles at the border of the camp ground. maybe
we can allow SOME EV also to park at that border, and we make our
village their? It would be really nice to be in a public accessible
area, where as many as possible people can charge (and maybe donate you
or us for the electricity cost), but I don't know how to solve that with
my limited insights.<br></div><div>In my mind I would love to have something like 4-ish parallel AC
charging spots (or more?). In theory we are designing the HW so that
each spot can deliver up to 22kW, but we are also planning to make some
intelligent power limiting, so we can limit the total consumption of all
slots to whatever the village can spare. We are also thinking about
coupling this to "current solar generation" or something like that... so
there are infinite degrees of freedom..... should we talk?<br></div><div> <br></div><div>cheers<br></div><div> <br></div><div>-marco<br></div><div><br></div><div>=====<br></div><div><br></div><div>another thought: last SHA you had one place with "tesla hacking"... so
someone brought two Teslas into his village... but this would mean its
only a very small fixed set of car we could charge, and the community
service is gone :-/<br></div><div><br></div><div>=====<br></div></body></html>
