That’s great......as long as there’s a ‘Supercharging Station’ every 328 miles that you drive. Most EV drivers will get ‘range anxiety’ when they’re below half of that.

Besides that, at the 200Kw-h charging rate, the current in the charging circuit is nearly a thousand amps when delivered at the maximum 220 volt household voltage. It would be 2,000 amps if coming out of your 15 amp household plug. It would take about 200 such plugs to safely deliver that. It would take years just to put in the high tension power lines to service the Supercharging Stations if they needed to charge more than one EV at a time.

I could see the usefulness of an electric car for driving in a city, but long trips? No way.

Just like the sailors on Columbus’s fleet as they eyed the water butts...
