– Why do electric devices with batteries (phones, electric cars, …) can only be charged by one charger at a time?

460 views

Hi, with all the boom of “fast charging” I’ve been wondering why can’t we have phones or electric cars with twice or more the charging ports. I understand that is inconvenient to plug two chargers instead of one but wouldn’t that increase the charging rate, solving one of the problems with electric cars (refueling gas is way faster). As this is not the case there should be a good reason why it is not feasible, what is it ?

(I did not find anything close to convincing in google).

Better to just divide the battery into two, and pull twice as much current from a single cable to charge both cells in parallel (which is how it is done already, but many more cells than two).
