I am sure in the next five years things will be different. And in ten years people will probably wonder wtf we were doing with polluting engines for so long.
But at the minute those charge times aren't suitable. I could probably make do with a 300 mile range (which is probably more like 200). But not when it takes so long to repower.
These are the Model 3 figures - I think it necessitates having a 7kw charging point at home but then a night’s charging would cover most of us for the next day at 27 miles added for each hour of charging. Apologies for formatting - posting in a rush on ipad.
I’m going to live with a 3 pin plug for 6 months while in a rental during my house renovation. Let’s see how it goes.
