What's important to the grid is the input. Your 6,250 Amps for the
chargers will be split into chunks of about 200 Amps per bus (at about
600 volts, IIRC), by the distribution network. It will come into the
site at about 120 Amps per feed at 11kv.


Is 11KV the standard voltage for distribution within UK cities? I wonder
why they chose that particular value. Just curious...
