The chargers have step up transformers to reach high voltages. Good luck bumping em up to 3 phase. As far as service voltages go, a 400a single phase service is a rare animal in a residential building. The square footage would have to be 10000+.
More likely is 2 200a 40 circuit panels. In areas that use natgas for heating and cooking, a 400a panel is ridiculous.
A 100a sub branched off a 200a main doesn’t mean you have 300a.
Clown.

“Expert utility folk say system will collapse when 5% of all vehicles are EV’s.”

I am sure you can provide a list ...

“No lithium Ion battery can go from zero to full charge in 30 minutes, without severely limiting the life of the battery.”

GMC clearly states that you will not get a full charge at that rate. Your rant is baseless.

Because electric cars - just like gas-powered automobiles in the 1900’s - will continue to gain popularity. Do I think we will become an electric-only country? No. But the electric car has enough advantages to gain popularity in the long term.

Your thoughts?

“Your thoughts?”

0-60 under 2 seconds is awesome!

Maybe ICE’s would stick around but only in diesel form. They would share the diesel infrastructure with the long haul trucking industry. Cars would go almost totally electric and would cover the short and medium range role — daily commute, getting groceries, driving to the next town to see friends. Long distance and work would be handled by trucks and specialty long distance cruisers, all of which run on diesel. Gasoline would still be around but would become a heavily taxed niche item. Diesel would remain abundant and affordable because it piggybacks on the economy of scale of the trucking industry. Just tossing out a thought here...

How much do they receive when I play their CD 100 times?

It depends. If you purchased it from the band directly, they get all the revenue upfront regardless of the number of plays. If you go through iTunes or some retailer to acquire your license of that intellectual property, the band makes a percentage less than 100%. If you buy the CD second-hand, the band gets nothing from that sale but they got their money from the initial sale. If you're playing a copy of the CD someone made for you, that's theft.

How much do they receive when their song is put on a FLAC or MP3 file and played by thousands of people?

If the people are paying for the plays, the band receives money under the terms of the platform agreement. Otherwise, it's theft.

” If you purchased it from the band directly, they get all the revenue upfront regardless of the number of plays.”

So if I play it a hundred times then sell it and the buyer plays it a hundred times ...

The artist is getting like less than $0.0005 per play.

Less theft with streaming.

Recharging speed really isn’t going to be important generally.

It’s been decades since drivers said “fill ‘er up”.


I guess you’ve never vistted NJ.

You do make some silly posts based, presumably, on ignorance.

And I’ve heard the only things in Texas are steers and queers. Do you have horns?
