But what size of battery were they charging? usinthe Tesla supercharger you can charge an 85kWhr battery to 50% in 30mins. that's like saying you could add 150miles+ of range in 30mins. another thing to consider is real world use. I'll put it this way, no single person has a daily commute of 200+miles. most people had a daily commute under 40 miles. so basically, if you were on a road trip and after driving 250+ miles you need to charge up, then maybe resting for an hour, grabbing something to east all while charging up isn't such a bad idea. the way I see it, ice cars become obsolete the day you can buy an electric car with 200+ miles range for under $22k. |
I honestly dont even recall. And all the info i am finding is about at home charging or full charging. Sure your daily commute might not have a range of 200 miles or more however eventually when you have a car you'll go over 200 miles. So i wouldnt buy a car that i would need another one for a longer trips. If your going to get a car it has to be able to do what you need it to. A half hour at a charging station is to long throw in what if someone else is taking up the stations your looking at a possible hour of charging just not resonable. Also the range on electric cars isnt cut and dry. Depending on what your are doing inside, what the temperature is, what terrain your going over will effect your milage. As i said these things will get better in the future but right now its not there yet.
