re: President* Biden: That means you can charge up and drive across the country!

I can drive from my home to Orlando, FL (700 miles) in 11 hours with one 10 minute stop for fuel. How long would that same trip take stopping to recharge an electric car?

---

That depends. Did you spend $140k for the extra, extra long extended run time battery vehicle? You know, the one that gets 350 miles per charge.

Not to mention that you then have to wait half an hour while the thing charges.

10-15 minutes

What cars get a full charge on 10-15 minutes? I would get one if this were the case.

A typical electric car (60kWh battery) takes just under 8 hours to charge from empty-to-full with a 7kW charging point.

Level 1 battery outlets (like the ones you use at home) charge at 120 volts, which typically provide up to 50 miles of driving range in about 10 hours. If you have more battery capacity (measured in kWh), you’ll need more time to charge your car battery fully.

Surprised they didn't throw the kitchen sink in and offer a $10K tax credit for buying an e-vehicle.

Throw in $9,000 of FEMA money for a Covid-related funeral and you're half way to a ride in a sweet Greta Thunberg mobile

NNEMP technology is also not a highly complex one, which means that countries of varying sizes, capabilities, and military prowess have the technology in their arsenal. When NNEMPs are implemented in bombs or missiles, they are referred to as e-bombs. Notably, the US used an e-bomb in 2003 in an effort to knock out Saddam Hussein's propaganda network.

Seems like anybody could really make them. And we sell our tech to these people all the time.

Can you not charge up and drive across country now?

---

Yes you can. There are charging stations everywhere. If you own a Tesla you can use their supercharging network to drive anywhere in the country.

quote:

---

This is a lie. Adding charging stations everywhere means you can charge up, drive a short distance, then charge up again for hours , then drive a short distance, then charge up again for hours , rinse and repeat.

---

Why does this lie keep getting repeated over and over again.

The Tesla Model 3 can charge from 0 to 80% in 32 minutes using the SuperCharger network. 80% to 100% takes an additional 31 minutes. Under most circumstances you would not charge past 80% because it is not needed. In the Model 3 you can charge 286 miles of range in that 32 minutes. Model S has 396 Miles of range so that same stop would get you 317 miles.

It's not hours and hours of charging to get anywhere. It's not even that much more time when you factor in stops for bathrooms and food.

I hope the coal plants are running so that those chargers can get some juice.

---

Natty gas, coal is going away quick here. It’s below nuke, combined renewables, and gas in percentage in the US now. It’s gonna be almost nothing in just a few years. We have stopped investing in the coal plants and they are all pretty much running by duct tape fixes until failure or planned shutdown.

Yes you can. There are charging stations everywhere. If you own a Tesla you can use their supercharging network to drive anywhere in the country.

I just ran 6 destinations I frequently travel which are all on interstate highways into the Tesla route planner. Drive time ranged from the same as I do now to an hour more. The worst problem is I would have to stop in locations I have no desire to stop at for anything ever, some were even miles off the interstate.

What a fricking simpleton , 5 mins to fuel up a tank to drive 400 miles . Electric cars take four hours to charge to drive that same distance . Imbeciles

Imagine calling someone a simpleton and imbecile when you also have no clue what you're talking about

That irrational confidence is real!
