What an experience! As I told you, I’m on the quest for the fastest, coolest, and most innovative charging solutions. Today’s visit to Atlis was truly insane and I really appreciate how open they were with you and me about their progress and technology. Hope you enjoy this deep dive, this is what I live for!

One of the best videos Out of Spec has done. So much great information in this video. Definitely want to see the follow up to this video.

Victor is the perfect employee. He loves his job and is enthusiastic.

When I first saw the length of this video, I thought to myself I'll just skip through. 1 hour later I've watched it all not skipping a single minute. Great content. Thanks for the Out of Spec team, and for Atlis that gave us this opportunity!

Please include a flashlight integrated into the connector, and also chamfer the edges to make it locate into the socket more easily than ccs does

People like you are gonna really keep the EV companies in line! Great work! Stay on it!!!!!

Kyle, wow , my background as a Electronics Technician also certified Litton Industrial Microwave Technician, truly awesome to see this bleeding edge of high power DC charging, what can I say I am speechless!

#HandleGang! Kyle, you're becoming a pioneeer in the world of EVs! Thank you for your efforts! Have you ever thought of lobbying in DC? You may be able to help us change these archaic laws which favor fossil fuels!

This is one of the most exciting things I have seen on KZfaq :p Atlas rocks!!!

Handle is good for the connector, especially if there's substantial insertion force. Less chance of wrist fatigue or injury from putting force on the joints at a strange angle. It would also be easier to grip if you can wrap your fingers around it, especially with smaller hands. As for the stations themselves, I like the demo unit setup that keeps the cable off the ground. Probably something like a tall pole with a swing arm so the cable isn't dragging or getting run over.

Here comes quality information w/great camera work

This was so much fun to watch and I can't wait to see more stuff from Atlis!

I agree with adding the handle. The grip is smaller so when you're charging in the snow or the cold and have gloves on it's a bit harder to grip the charger.

Kyle, thank you so much for this. I have one word: WOW!

Love that you did this video. I’ve beloved in what ATLIS is doing for a couple years now. I’ve invested in them early on and as much as I love their video I have not seen anything nearly as in depth as your video. Nice work, keep it coming. Thank you

Decades ago we were filming a commercial in Mexico City, at their large studio. We needed to warm up a prop Jacuzzi, quickly. So the studio electricians took a 2X4, nail on either end, wrapped with bare wire, and plugged it into the Mains at the wall panel. Dropped it into the spa, and told everyone to Step Back. They threw the large, old fashion “Frankenstein” switch, and the water instantly started to boil! It only took a few seconds for it to get to a comfortable temperature for our models. :-)

Glad I bought megawatts of AMV stock years ago! (before they fully went public)

In 2001 I was involved with load testing 6 huge marine generators the same way - 6MWish……….. generators were connected up to 6 x 40ft half height shipping containers full of water. All tested fine, miles of huge cables disconnected and removed (no body was allowed into the main machinery space during the test btw) BUT after the half height containers had been drained and lifted off the hatch c overs for the ship we found that there were 6 x 40ft areas of bare steel under the test units…….. basically we had dissolved all the protective galvanising off 3 massive 30t steel hatch covers! We also had to have the ship’s magnetic compass re-swung and adjusted because the ship’s magnetism had changed drastically during the load testing!

I’ve been watching atlis and the dev of their truck for a while, I wish them nothing but the best of luck with their endeavours. Amazing stuff.

This is awesome!! Atlis really came a long way.

I love the confidence in their equipment to just keep pushing it. Obviously, I’m sure they’ve been doing private testing and were confident it would perform but the confidence is contagious.

I have to admit that this is over my head, but I am glad to which videos like this one. That is how I will learn about how this all works. Kyle I love your enthusiasm.

This was impressive guys. Good work

Possibly the coolest(nerdiest) video i've seen, as far as charging, thx Kyle. the future is so bright, i need shades 😎

So a typical Nuclear Reactor output is 1500MWe, which means it can only power 1500 charges like this... then you need to deliver this power over the grid.. I just do not see this happening in the next 50 years or so..

As an original investor, I appreciate how you guys have been transparent on this journey and listened to the people. I vote that you need that handle. You should leave enough area to grip the body with your other hand if need be. I also think that you need to make sure that there is a fix point or hanging point. It might be beneficial to have an overhead retractable cable to both support the weight of a cord and to help keep it off of the ground or swung out of the way.

This is crazy interesting. I volunteer on my City Electric Utility advisory board and we fluctuate from 40Mw base load to about 100Mw peak. That’s about 50,000 population plus business.

Very cool stuff! The part with Mark at the end was also really interesting.

I wish them luck. But I’m confused because they seem like very smart people familiar with their field but even as a layperson outsider I can see that charIN is finalizing the MCS standard and there is no chance that a proprietary charger from a small company will ever have a chance. Continuing work on their own connector seems like wasted resources and engineering time that could be better directed at their other projects.

34:12 props to Alyssa for filming this whole thing by hand on a phone!

This was truly amazing to see. Can’t wait to see real world applications implemented plus there should be automotive manufacturers prototype vehicles testing in there facilities already.

Great! Now bring all of that stuff up here in Quebec during a cold winter night and make it work at the same speeds please!

1.21 JigaWatts! 1.21 JigaWatts!

Thank you for this look behind the curtain

Scoreboard is a good idea, but it’d be nice to have remaining charge time displayed so if charger is full you can get in line behind the vehicle that’ll be done first. Not quite sure if it should display time to resume trip like a Tesla or time to set limit should be displayed, maybe both but that’s a lot of information for a quick reference board.

Where's the truck 🤣

Not sure I agree with the car and charger communicating wirelessly but this is impressive. I love how small the connector.

This is super cool and might have an application in semis and heavy equipment, but as far as a normal auto sized battery, it seems useless. We can't even put 150kw into them for very long without cooking the current batteries.

Proud atlis investor here 🙋‍♂️. Make sure to invest!

Atlis Energy Solutions is the real deal!

Awesome video highlight of Atlis. Love the excitement

I'm struck by the scale of all that's needed to power and cool this kind of system. Right now it seems like an almost comical amount of power needed. To run one of these in the real world you would probably need your own substation for each unit, which seems like a large barrier to mass adoption. Still, this gives a sense of where EV chargers and cars are going. It's likely all these problems will be solved eventually and the grid will scale to allow locations for megawatt charging in the near future. Imagine the ev market share when the cars can charge as fast or faster than a gas/diesel truck can refill.

This is one of the coolest videos I have recently seen. Very exciting!

Very interesting video! Did get slight QVC vibes 😂

Doc Brown "Hold my beer" 😁

Absolutely loved this video! Super interesting to get a behind the scenes look, would love to see more videos like this!

Proceeds to poke the screwdriver into the service panel... jaw dropped! Still, this is great that they are pushing the limits of these charging systems. 👍

Those wheels look great on Model Plaid 😍

“Drop in solution “ sounds like hope for a future defense contract.

Good luck guys.

It's below zero at my home. Been there for 24 hours. It NEEDS to work below zero for two weeks straight. That happens once a year in North Dakota.

The white charger with an external handle is definitely the better choice for the connector. Not everyone has large hands that can handle a large diameter connector. It could also slip in rain and snow. The one with the external handle is absolutely much easier to handle in all situations. Just make it of rigid and unbreakable materials. It would be best, if you include some metallic stripe in it, so that if it weakens in hot climates, and the plastics break, the handle doesn't, and it can still be used until it is exchanged.

Kyle is standing INSIDE the charger saying "I want to blow stuff up!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Long one, but really informative! Great job!

This was a great video, I loved seeing the early development and could see the excitement. I would like to see wired communication for reliability vs wireless communication in a charging setup for a vehicle. Maybe Atlus can help improve the cable situation on current chargers. The drop in place would be great for disaster areas, roll the cabinet up with batteries, solar and generators to help in emergencies in the future. I wonder what Weights and Measures in states with say about no screen? That's a problem in the EU for their regulatory body.

Crazy to think this is happening 2 miles from my friends house and within walking distance of an Arby's lol

I like the handle!

I think a totally under the radar Co.. I'm buying their stock

As a retired electrical engineer working in the genset business, I don’t think you have any concept on the amount of “energy” in 1 Megawatt of power. The expansion of the electrical transmission network to handle a station of several 1 MW chargers will be horrendously expensive. That will lead to higher electricity prices. The existing transmission network in the USA needs a lot of updates and replacements to handle the ever increasing needs for electricity. That’s not going to happen overnight or even in a few years. I don’t think I want to be plugging my EV (assuming I ever have one) into equipment capable of 1 MW power flow. To me 250kW is too dangerous to be around. If there is ever a failure , it’s going to be like the “big bang”.

I like that they're so confident in their tech that they're willing to show it off outside of sanitary, big network conditions. This could still be faked but I'm not getting that impression here. Hopefully Atlis and others like it succeed!

So glad I purchased their stock and placed a reservation on their truck!

I think the dispensers should be something similar to Kempower stations. skinny pedestal with a place for the handle and card reader with the cable going up high and extending out on a movable pole or spring so you can get front charge port and back charge ports.

Although this is a crazy awesome proof of concept, it seems to me anyway, that it would be easier/simpler to evolve the battery tech to charge faster than to have the infrastructure in place to support a massive rollout of something like this.

I would like to know how Atlis will test their EV charger in various temperature ranges to prevent the issues associated with EA's massif charger fail during the CO cold a few weeks ago!

Atlis: I think the handle would make it easier to handle. Can’t wait to see what the future of Atlis does.

Hot damn, i'm buying some Atlis stock.

Now, we need a power grid from the public utilities to reliably power these mega chargers, and some BIG Palos Verde size nuclear-power generation stations for enough juice. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Handle on the connector, but the handle supports on the prototype look like they'll easily be broken. The disregard people have for the charge handles in the real world is nuts and these things need to be extremely durable.

30:40 I'd like to see the future of charging to be wireless embedded in the streets and parking lots.

What a very interesting video a glimpse into the future

very promising ... the future looks bright!

Tesla has the mega charger for their semis but I wonder if any damage will occur for that charger or will it speed up battery degradation

Very cool! But diesel generators required for these chargers? Not very green no?

That kind of power is… cray cray! I wonder who will release the first vehicle capable of swallowing that much juice? Probably won't see it for many years to come.

Dam fantastic video. Wish u would have showed the teslas state of charge at the end

100% with a handle!

I was really hoping you were gonna say 1.21 gigawatts!! Lol

A 100 KW solar array may trickle charge the battery bank( 2 days). A 200 KW array would do that faster (5-8 hours). You don't need a megawatt of power everyday. So, a 200 or 250 KW solar array would be optimum. The generators would only serve as a back up in times of need. The grid would also help with a 100 or 200 KW. Also a megawatt charger would charge 14-16 vehicles at a time. And 4 to 5 simultaneously at a high speed.

I just read the companies PR about their megawatt charging and the same day you are making a video about it. Kyle is in the know. The press release didn't really wow investors though, stock was actually down for the day.

It’s really a vehicle limit and with that the cooling on the batteries that’s throttling today. On my truck the time I can actually take 200kw plus in my charge curve is pretty short.

Definitely need a handle, right now I quite often have a phone in my hand while initiating the session and a handle would make it much easier to plug in with one hand. I envision a gas station like concept so a vehicle can pull in either the left or right or front or wherever it’s charge port is. Make a few stations that are longer like RV/Semi pumps for pull thru with trailers. Have a board that shows status of all the stations so you can see when pulling in what’s online, what’s in use, and be able to pick what fits your need. Red light green light status with a phone app, as Kyle said one kiosk for those who need to swipe a card and don’t have a phone app. Semi fuel stations do something similar with cardlocks.

I’d like to see you cover how utility demand charges will effect if megawatt charging will ever be a thing.

Handle is so much better ergonomically.

14:59 , 22:02 - "1.21 GIGAWATTS...!!! GREAT SCOTT...!!!" (best Doc Brown reaction)

seems like time for a three-way collab between you, Atlas, and Pepsi, will need an MCS2 connector unless Tesla has started shipping them with NACS recently

ur black model is looks amazing

Definitely handle @ 10:20. For something that big, I’d say put one on top too and have two handles.

Handle hands down

The link for Atlis is for a company named Nxu? Are these chargers for sale?

Wow thats Amazing. Future will have 19 min charging evs for sure. 😊😁😂

Just back your Plaid into this spot and, um, stand behind that wall over there. Okay, ready?

Very Interesting approach 👍. Definitely need a battery pack with superior thermal conduction. The only question is where is the energy coming from? Unless it comes from a local nuclear power or Alternative energy forms, it will eventually be limited by grid power. Definitely a good alternative for high availability EV charging infrastructure. Most probable application is for EVSemi charging. Hope they are not in the game to just soakup the govt. incentives for EV infrastructure. Just some 💭.

High point inertial reel, like semi refuel point of sale pumps, so can work with any shaped vehicle towing very weirsd ft

We need charging stations that support towing, the design doesn't matter to me, but the stations that support people who are towing does. Also the chargers shouldn't be too far from the highway.

Another vote for Team Handle (10:30 in). When it's cold and wet, you need something that is ergonomic; maybe has a rubber-like exterior that doesn't slip, textured to maximize the amount of contact with your grip. You can get "grip tape" from Grainger or ULINE or a thousand places online, it's used for adding more grip to SLR cameras / pistols / hammers, anything you hold a lot and want to make sure it's not likely to slip out of your hands. That, but embedded into the design. At 23:00 they're looking at doing a modern 77kWh car from 10 to 80% in well under 3 minutes. You're competing with ICE vehicles.

AMV stock should fly 🚀

Non removable derailleur hanger on steel bikes are super common, the one thing is unlike aluminum which has a definite fatigue life and degrades to a complete failure. Steel has a nearly infinite fatigue for motions that bend it to the extreme

HAHAHA "it looks too long", "we'll make it shorter" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

our electric cost are going to go through the roof with all this power us.

Definitely go with the handle.
